A recent article reveals an unnoticed aspect of the Pi ecosystem. The message emphasizes scale and preparation, dismissing stereotypes about Pi's readiness. The author points out that the system already has built-in companies and applications. The ecosystem has established structure and coordination. Components were built before public release. The post is presented as an introduction rather than a revelation. Evidence of pre-authorization intermediaries enhancing cohesion and preparation is documented in multiple checkpoint directory files on GitHub. These checkpoints include transfer services, wallets, and remittances. Some integrations are based on Stellar infrastructure. Platforms like Interstellar and Stronghold are already visible. These services support BTC, ETH, USD, and XRP. Preparations reduce scale friction. The Pi network chose Stellar as the interoperability platform. This decision makes settlement faster.
