#PI# ⚠️ Facing critical challenges: unfinished journey and potential risks
The delay in the full opening of the mainnet affects trust.
Currently still in the restricted mainnet phase (only accessible to KYC users), the fully open network has been postponed multiple times, raising community doubts about the level of decentralization.
Token liquidity is restricted: OTC trading prices are highly volatile, and it has not been listed on mainstream exchanges (such as Binance, Coinbase), which weakens capital attractiveness.
The sustainability of the economic model needs to be verified.
Inflation pressure: Early mining releases a large number of tokens (approximately 100 billion), and if ecological applications do not consume enough, it may trigger selling pressure.
The dilemma of balancing decentralization and compliance. Risk of node centralization: Currently, nodes are controlled by the core team, and it is questionable whether true decentralization can be achieved after complete openness.
Regulatory Adaptability: The regulatory differences in KYC data across countries (such as the EU GDPR) may increase cross-border compliance costs.
