Enclosed Mainnet is a period that is designed to enable Pi Network to concentrate on constructing a strong ecosystem infrastructure and utilities that thrive within a contained environment, free from external disturbances or uncertainties.

During the Enclosed Network phase, the Mainnet is active while being shielded by a firewall to block any undesirable external connections. Within this controlled setting, exclusive individuals or entities are granted the authority to act as network validators, generate new blocks, and engage in consensus protocols.
