Financial technology is also shifting to the adoption of the blockchain technology especially in countries such as Nigeria that has created the digital form of their local currency (the e-Naira) which is referred to as a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), created by the Central Bank of Nigeria
Blockchain is becoming very useful and having knowledge of it can help you to add more value to your education today, especially as knowledge in technology may become a prerequisite for employment.
Introduction
Pi Network which was launched in 2019 has already reported millions of users globally, including a large community in Nigeria.
Most users join Pi Network out of interest in digital finance, although many mistakenly believe it guarantees profit, which it does not.
Note: Pi Network does not guarantee financial returns. Participation serves only educational and experimental purposes
But aside their individual aims, they are gradually learning how the blockchain technology actually works too. For example, some of these users now understand what a digital KYC in blockchain mean, as well as a consensus mechanism.
This is because, the Pi Network team has repeatedly emphasized those things in their updates and explaining those terms to the community has given them insight into what they mean.
In this article, you will learn what a blockchain is and how Pi Network users have over the years learnt it. I will also try to cover as many outlines as possible so that you will acquire more knowledge within the scope of our study in this article.
What is a blockchain?
A blockchain can be defined as a decentralized ledger technology that primarily records transactions across a network of computers.
A blockchain actually creates each new block of the transaction and links it to the one it previously created, thereby making it very difficult to tamper with. The blocks are very immutable data chain and also strongly secured as well.
Before we proceed to the other aspects, it is also important for us to explain what Pi Network is to those hearing about it for the very first time.
What is Pi Network?
Pi Network is a digital project which aims to simplify token generation concept by providing alternative and energy saving which is the use of its mobile platform generate their utility token, the pi coin.
Pi coin is generated inside the app by simply tapping on the “mine” button in the Pi network app once in every 24 hours to increase the engagement indicators on hourly basis. Each session ends in 24 hours and users are required to tap again at the end of each session.
Reasons why blockchain Is Often Too Technical for Beginners
Understanding blockchain is actually simple but for the beginners it may appear not to be as easy as it may to experts, due to the following reasons:
- Complex terminologies: the use of unfamiliar terms often makes blockchain appears to be a difficult subject to learn. Terms like consensus mechanism, bridge, wallet, node, mining and so on appears to be confusing to beginners.
- High device requirements: blockchain requires high device or gadgets to function properly and lack of those devices appear to pose a challenge for beginners to understand it.
These mentioned two reasons are basically the reasons why many people today feel very discouraged about learning blockchain.
1. Pi Network’s Simple Mobile Mining Concept
Pi Network has adopted a simple token generation concept that is helping users to understand blockchain without any complexity. The concept of mobile mining is what Pi app is using and this is how it works;
Tapping a button to mine pi coin is quite simple, but in reality, no one is actually mining crypto on the Pi network app the way Bitcoin is mined. Because Pi does not utilize your phone’s CPU or battery, instead they adopted a method called “social consensus based-mining” which only signals the Pi network server that at this particular time this particular users was active and it quickly triggers the user’s engagement indicators to rise.
This simple action teaches three important lessons:
a. Participation matters
Users discover that blockchain networks grow stronger when more people join and support the system.
b. Mining does not have to be complicated
Traditional mining involves:
- Cooling systems
- Electricity bills
- Hardware setups
- Configuration software
Pi removes all of this to introduce the basic idea of network contribution.
c. Rewards come from network involvement, not expensive equipment
This is a major learning point for beginners. They understand that digital finance does not always require large investments or complex machines.
Because mobile mining is easy, many people who would never explore blockchain now gain interest and confidence.
2. User-Friendly Interface That Teaches by Doing
Pi Network’s app is simple on purpose. The design focuses on clarity, not complexity. The clean interface teaches blockchain concepts without using technical words.
Some ways the interface helps users learn include:
a. Mining dashboard
This shows how contribution leads to rewards. Users understand the core idea of “proof of participation” without reading long documents.
b. Security circle
Pi uses this small feature to teach beginners the concept of trust and network safety. When users add trusted members, they indirectly learn how decentralized networks maintain security.
c. Pi team and chatrooms
Users learn through communication rather than technical lectures.
d. Pi Browser
Instead of confusing users with private keys and network IDs, Pi Browser presents Web3 in a simple, clean environment.
Learning becomes natural. People do not feel forced to understand everything immediately. Instead, they gain knowledge gradually.
3. Understanding Nodes Without Complexity
In blockchain, a “node” is a computer that helps secure and support the network. For beginners, this concept is hard to understand because it usually involves:
- Setting up servers
- Running command-line tools
- Updating software
- Monitoring uptime
Pi introduces the node concept in a beginner-friendly way. Anyone with a normal computer can download the Pi Node software. It does not require special hardware. Even if the user does not activate the node, they still learn:
- What a node is
- Why networks need nodes
- How blockchain stays secure
- How decentralization works
Pi’s node interface removes fear by showing simple buttons and clear instructions. This is different from many blockchain networks where technical setup can take hours.
By presenting nodes in a simple way, Pi ecosystem gives beginners a safe doorway into understanding blockchain infrastructure.

4. Lessons From Pi Network’s KYC Process
KYC (Know Your Customer) is a major part of digital finance not just blockchain. Many people do not understand why identity verification matters in online financial systems.
Pi Network’s KYC teaches important lessons:
a. Importance of trust and identity
Digital ecosystems must be secure. Fake accounts can damage a network. Through KYC, users understand why real identity matters.
b. Regulatory compliance
Modern digital finance must follow global rules. KYC helps users understand that blockchain is not a lawless system.
c. Data privacy
The Pi KYC process introduces users to secure data handling. Users learn why privacy and verification must be balanced.
d. User responsibility
The process shows that security is a shared duty. Users learn to protect their identity and follow network rules.
Pi uses clear instructions, which makes the process easier for beginners. Instead of confusing people, Pi explains each step in simple language.
5. Pi Apps and Real Web3 Learning
Blockchain is not only about mining. It is also about decentralized applications (DApps). The platform introduces users to Web3 through the Pi Browser and Pi apps.
These apps help users understand:
- How decentralized apps work
- How blockchain transactions take place
- How digital tools connect without central control
- How to interact with Web3 platforms safely
Some examples include:
Pi Wallet
Users learn:
- Wallet creation
- Understanding keys
- How to keep a wallet safe
All of this is explained simply.
Pi Utilities
Apps created by the community show how blockchain can solve real-life problems such as:
- Payments
- Marketplace transactions
- Games
- Knowledge tools
Users interact with these apps in the same way they use normal mobile apps. This reduces fear and confusion.
6. Community-Based Learning
Pi ecosystem has one of the largest blockchain communities in the world. Beginners learn quickly because they are not alone. They can ask questions and receive explanations from thousands of experienced users.
Community learning works because:
- People feel comfortable asking questions
- Experienced members explain in simple language
- Users share tips, guides, and real experiences
- Language barriers are reduced through local groups
Through community engagement, users understand:
- How blockchain ecosystems grow
- Why community participation is important
- How decentralized decision-making works
This type of social learning is stronger than reading technical documents.
7. Safe Introduction to Wallets and Private Keys
One of the hardest parts of blockchain is understanding wallets and private keys. Many beginners fear losing their funds or making mistakes.
Pi Wallet introduces these concepts gently:
a. Clear layout
The interface does not use complicated technical terms.
b. Simple key management
Users learn about passphrases and backup steps in easy language.
c. No financial risk
Since the system is still in development stages, users can learn without fear of losing money.
d. Real testnet transactions
Users understand how blockchain transfers work through simple demonstration.
This approach builds confidence. Beginners learn the basics of digital wallets without pressure.
8. Learning Blockchain Concepts Through Experience
Pi Network allows users to learn by doing. Instead of reading long tutorials, users experience blockchain features in real time.
Some concepts users learn naturally include:
- Decentralization
- Consensus
- Ledgers
- Smart contracts
- Web3 identity
The learning is slow, simple, and practical which makes the knowledge easier to remember.
