Pi Network's new reward plan offers $0 but sparks frenzy. Can Mobix's promotion of real-world business implementation rewrite the value logic of Pi Coin?

On February 25, news reports indicate that despite the new position offering a $0 salary, the Pi Network community has shown great enthusiasm for Mobix's global expansion plan. According to the latest update, Mobix is encouraging representatives from various countries to participate in building localized commercial networks, promoting Pi's use in real-world payments and circulation, and accelerating the transition from mining incentive models to actual consumer scenarios. The core of this plan is to establish a "Global Business Layer."

This localized support mechanism aims to reduce transaction friction, enhance the Pi payment experience, and provide infrastructure support for Pi's commercialization.
