Pi Network Mining Rate Surges in December: What Happened to the Miners?
BeInCrypto
Pi Network's base mining rate increased in December by 13.59%, reversing a two-year decline, possibly due to some miners pausing activity.Summary
The Pi Network (PI) experienced a significant reversal in December as its base mining rate rose by 13.59% to 0.0031296 π/hour, marking the strongest jump since March 2022 and breaking a two-year streak of continuous decline. This means it now takes about 13.3 days to mine 1 Pi without bonuses. This surge is speculated to be caused by some long-time miners pausing their efforts, perhaps because they find buying Pi cheaply (currently trading around $0.23) more appealing than the time and effort required for mining. Concurrently, the number of active Pi nodes on the mainnet surged tenfold in 2025, growing from 23 in March to 296 by December, indicating increased investor confidence in the network's long-term future.
