About Pi Squared

What is Pi Squared (π²) and what’s the core idea?

Pi Squared is a decentralized infrastructure project building FastSet, a verifiable settlement protocol for internet-speed payments and computation. It aims to verify any program’s results across chains without global ordering. You might wonder why that matters: fewer bottlenecks, fewer trust assumptions. The design targets AI-agent workflows, enterprise settlement in usd, and bridgeless crypto interoperability—so a payment or proof can finalize fast without a traditional bridge.

How does FastSet differ from a typical blockchain?

FastSet settles independent “claims” in parallel instead of forcing a single, total order. That’s the whole twist. Validators certify claims with cryptographic proofs, enabling high throughput and sub-100ms finality targets. A quick take: it’s built for workloads where thousands of unrelated actions can close at once—think micro-payments, off-chain compute results, or agent activity—without waiting on a global queue.

What’s “Proof of Proof” and why should I care?

Proof of Proof is zero-knowledge verification of mathematical proofs—essentially proving that another proof is correct. It lets FastSet validate programs written in many languages without rewriting them for a specific VM. Worth noting: this unlocks verifiable off-chain compute and AI inference, while keeping on-chain settlement minimal. For crypto builders, that’s fewer rewrites and safer cross-system logic.

Is there a Pi Squared token? What’s the tokenomics status?

There’s no live coin or tradable token yet. Pi Squared hasn’t announced supply, allocation, or ticker. If you’re mapping scenarios, expect a standard split when disclosed (team, investors, ecosystem, participants), but nothing is official. Until then, don’t assume rewards, usd returns, or usdt-denominated emissions—plans can change before mainnet.

Any vesting or unlock schedule available?

No public vesting or unlock schedule exists. That’s normal at the premarket stage. You might wonder what’s typical: teams often vest over ~4 years with a cliff, investors over 2–3 years, and ecosystem buckets unlock by milestones. Those are industry patterns, not Pi Squared commitments—treat them as directional context, not promises.

Who funded Pi Squared and when?

Pi Squared raised $12.5 million in a Seed Round on July 2, 2024, led by Polychain Capital (Tier 1). The round also included Samsung NEXT (Tier 2), Robot Ventures (Tier 3), ABCDE Capital, Bloccelerate VC, and Generative Ventures. Angel investors such as Sreeram Kannan (EigenLayer) and Justin Drake (Ethereum Foundation) joined as well. It’s a classic venture-backed crypto infrastructure play supported by top research and Web3 investors.

Where can I trade the token or find pairs like USDT?

You can’t—there are no exchange listings or pairs yet. Pi Squared is premarket and not trading. Devnet tools (wallet, explorer, demo apps) are for testing only; any “token” there isn’t real liquidity. When/if a token lists, expect centralized and decentralized venues to announce pairs (likely vs usd-stable assets like usdt). Until then, avoid unofficial markets.

What activities exist now (testnets, quests, airdrops)?

Two official campaigns are live: Pi Squared Point Farming and the Pi² Ambassador Program. Point Farming (since August 2025) lets users join the Pi² portal, take quizzes, and complete quests—confirming FastSet knowledge like its 100K+ TPS and validator design. The Ambassador Program (since November 2025) recruits Web3 advocates to host events, grow communities, and promote Pi². Both programs are active but offer no confirmed airdrop yet.

What’s the roadmap and near-term milestones?

The public path shows initial devnet in 2024, Devnet 2.0 in late 2025, and an aim for mainnet around 2026 with aggressive performance targets. Along the way: deeper docs, partner integrations (e.g., data availability/validator registries), and expanding app demos. It’s deliberate: prove the architecture, then scale. If you’re a builder, this is the window to experiment.

What are the main risks I should weigh?

Architecture risk comes first—parallel claim settlement must prove production-grade security and decentralization. Regulatory uncertainty around cross-chain settlement and payments (usd flows, usdt movement) is real. Market risk matters too: established L1/L2 ecosystems already have users and liquidity. Bottom line: promising tech, but adoption, safety, and timing will decide the token’s long-run story.
