Pi Network, a blockchain project that has long been flying under the radar, is seeing a meteoric rise in interest, with search trends and app downloads skyrocketing. According to Google Trends, the search interest for “Pi Network” surged to a high score of 57 last week, more than double its previous peak of 26 in March 2024. This surge highlights the growing attention Pi Network is commanding, with its search interest recently hitting a maximum score of 100.
But that’s not all. Pi Network’s mobile app is gaining substantial traction, surpassing 110 million downloads and maintaining a daily average of 110,000 new users over the past month. On February 17 alone, over 540,000 new users joined the platform, signaling strong momentum. This growth is further reflected in the app’s ranking on the Google Play Store, where it now holds the #4 spot in the Social category, trailing only Facebook and Instagram.
Pi Network’s influence isn’t limited to app stores and search engines. The project has overtaken BNB Chain in follower count on X (formerly Twitter), positioning itself as one of the most discussed blockchain initiatives. As crypto analyst Kim H Wong noted, “Pi Network is racing to the top in X followers among top cryptos excluding meme coins.” The network has even surpassed Ethereum’s official account, further cementing its rising prominence in the crypto space.
