December meets the Pioneers with a 190 million scheduled unlock for Pi Coin (PI), but the mining rates have reached a mouth-dropping level. The base mining rate has been raised by 13.59%, now standing at 0.0031296 Pi coins per hour.
Casual Pi Coin Mining Tumbles To All-Time Lows
This testifies to the dramatically slumping figures in Pi miners overall, as less Pi Coin (PI) enthusiasts renew their mining sessions. Naturally, this allows a quicker Pi mine rate for the rest of the 60-million strong community. This signifies the best Pi mining rate since the introduction of dynamic formula back in March, 2022.
Following the Pi mining rate news, the associated altcoin hovered above $0.23, dropping another 2% in a 24-hour period. On top of that, it takes roughly 13 days to earn the equivalent of $0.23 without any referral or lock-up bonuses, which makes many casual Pi miners leave the mobile-mining network as Pi’s price is fading since the $2.99 all-time high (ATH).
190M Pi Unlock Awaits: Harder Price Dip Coming?
Beyond 21.36 million Pioneers are now on-boarded to the mainnet, which ultimately means they can withdraw their hard-earned Pi Coins (PI). 6 years in the making prior to Pi mainnet’s release in late February, 2025, the mobile-mining altcoin’s enthusiasts are coming back amidst the news of CiDi Gaming partnership, providing Pi with Play 2 Earn features.
Surely, this month’s 190 Pi Coin unlock is the biggest in the next two years, so the inflation could add unwanted sell pressure. However, the token unlocks are nothing more than a scheduled regular procedure, so buying power comes into play here. If Pi Network gains a European license amidst the MiCa license, demand could overshadow emission.

Yes if you’re patient. It’s still free, phone-only, while the rate is highest since 2023. With full boosts (circle + referrals + lockup + node), you can hit 0.08 π/hour.
Complete Security Circle (+100%), invite active friends (+25% each), ock up 90%+ of your Pi for 1-3 years (up to +631%), run a simple node (+90%).
Even with zero boosts you’ll mine ~2.25 π this month (worth ~$0.52 at $0.23). With boosts it’s easily plausible to gain 50–150 π/month.
