PiScan, an independent blockchain explorer and analytics platform for @PiCoreTeam's Pi Network, has been offline since September 7, 2026. At the time of writing, the site remains unavailable, extending the outage to more than two months and raising questions among Pioneers about the service's future.
The page currently displays the notice: "PiScan is temporarily unavailable while we perform maintenance and review our service operations." No return timeline has been provided.
What PiScan Offers Pi Network Users
PiScan has been used to track various on-chain data related to $PI, including centralised exchange (CEX) balances, Core Team holdings, token unlock statistics, migration data and whale movements. For many community members, it has provided a single dashboard for monitoring supply and wallet activity.
PiScan is not an official Pi Network product. Hokanews reported that PiScan describes itself as a read-only explorer for the Pi Network ledger and says it is not affiliated with Pi Network or the Pi Core Team. The report also said the service reads data from the Pi Network Mainnet API and indexes blockchain data, including ledgers, transactions and account activity.
The Pi Core Team operates its own official BlockExplorer, which Pi Network describes as a tool for looking up activity on the Testnet and Mainnet blockchains, including transactions, blocks and addresses. The tool does not appear to offer the wallet-labelling and analytics features for which PiScan became known.
Not the First PiScan Outage
PiScan has been offline before, but those previous interruptions were shorter and had an announced cause. In May 2026, Bitget News reported that the explorer was down for a protocol upgrade to version 23, which affected indexing and on-chain analytics, with a return expected on May 15. FXStreet also connected that earlier outage to the Mainnet upgrade to protocol v23.
The current outage is longer, and no reason has been given. In October, Hokanews reported that PiScan had been offline for more than a month, citing an on-chain analyst. It noted that community members were asking whether the downtime was related to maintenance, an upgrade ahead of Mainnet v28, or broader ecosystem changes. The report said there was no evidence linking the outage to either development and that the status notice only indicated a review of service operations.
Other community-built tools have continued to emerge. Coingabbar reported in late October that an independent developer had launched PiPeek, a separate explorer displaying wallet balances, lockups and unlock dates. The report noted that PiPeek is not an official Pi Network service and that its Core Team and exchange wallet labels are estimates.
Until PiScan issues an update, the reason for the prolonged downtime and any plans to restore the service remain unconfirmed.
