Pi Network runs on the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), an architecture that is more energy-efficient and scalable than Bitcoin’s energy-intensive blockchain. Bitcoin transactions consume a large amount of electricity—while SCP completely disrupts this scenario.

Originally just another mobile mining experiment, it has now evolved into a much more complex project. Its technical foundation gives it an advantage over traditional proof-of-work blockchains, especially when considering the environmental costs associated with securing the network. SCP does not require mining farms to devour the power grid. It has been different from day one.
