Pchain (PI) is a public blockchain platform whose native coin trades under the ticker PI. Instead of mining, the network runs on proof of stake: participants lock up their coins to validate transactions and keep the chain secure. The project's official home is pchain.org, where you'll find wallets, documentation, and the latest updates.
Frequently asked questions
What is Pchain (PI), and how is it different from Bitcoin or Ethereum?
Pchain is a public blockchain with its own coin, PI, built to run smart contracts and decentralized applications. It is best known for its native multi-chain architecture and compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, which lets developers reuse familiar Ethereum tooling. And unlike Bitcoin, there is no mining involved — the chain runs on proof of stake.
How does Pchain's proof-of-stake consensus work?
Instead of miners burning electricity on puzzles, Pchain is secured by validators who lock up (stake) their PI for the right to produce and confirm new blocks. Honest validators earn staking rewards, while cheating can cost them part of their stake. This keeps the network energy-efficient and running without industrial mining farms.
How is PI issued, and how does its emission work?
New PI is created as staking rewards: since there is no mining, coins flow to the validators and delegators who help secure the network. The overall supply and its allocation were defined by the project from the start and are laid out in the official documentation on pchain.org. For current circulating-supply figures, always check live data rather than a static article.
How can I store and use PI?
PI can be kept in wallets that support the Pchain network, starting with the official Pchain wallet — download it only from pchain.org to avoid fake copies. Holding PI in a compatible wallet also opens up staking, letting you earn rewards while helping validate blocks. As with any crypto, keep your private keys and seed phrase offline and never share them with anyone.
