Pi Network celebrates 2000 days since its official launch on March 14, 2019! This milestone reflects the steady, ongoing efforts of our community—as we move ever closer to our vision of building the world’s most inclusive peer-to-peer ecosystem and online experience, fueled by Pi. Each step forward is bringing us towards Open Network, where persistence and commitment shapes our shared future. Image was created by mod @ diange.

We recently announced two updates about the KYC name mismatch and small phone number typo change features. These updates focus on allowing real Pioneers to update their information and potentially progress in the KYC process. Dive deeper into the significance of these updates and how they can potentially help unblock your KYC application.

Help prepare for Open Network in any way you can—whether you’re a Pioneer, developer, or merchant—so we can collectively move towards the next part of Pi’s journey.

Learn more about the Grace Period extension of KYC and Mainnet migration deadlines to February 28, 2025—why we're extending, what Pioneers should do, and why the Period is important. Remember: the extension is independent of Open Network timing.

The KYC and Mainnet migration deadlines for the Grace Period have been extended to February 28, 2025, ensuring Pioneers have additional time and opportunity to secure their Pi. Read the full announcement to learn more about the extension and importance of the Grace Period. This extension operates independently of the Open Network launch timeline, meaning it is possible that Open Network could occur before or after the Grace Period ends, and upholds the Grace Period's core objectives of fairness and accessibility. Submit your KYC application and complete your Mainnet Checklist by February 28, 2025, to avoid any forfeiture.

Staying safe on Pi Network is essential! Always refer to the official Pi Safety Center for official communications channels, official links to Pi apps and products, and other information on how to safeguard your Pi account and wallet.

Get ready to celebrate Moderator Appreciation Day – every first Friday of February (Feb 7)! Go to the Pi mining app home screen to share gratitude and stories about how moderators have helped you in the past. Mention specific mods if you can or offer a general shoutout. These messages will be compiled in a special tribute video for this year’s Moderator Appreciation Day. Let’s honor the incredible impact of our mods!

How is Pi’s native KYC solution unique?

Pioneers who have rejected KYC applications due to differences in their Pi account name and their real name in ID documents can now either spend Pi to update their name or appeal to resubmit their KYC application. Complete this action today if needed!

How can the Pi community prepare for Open Network?

Your tentative KYC status or long wait for full KYC results and migration may be caused by your need to complete actions. For example, some Pioneers need to complete additional liveness checks (make sure the video is clear with good lighting). When prompted in the mining app for such additional liveness checks, please take the liveness checks and do not close the popup. Sign the token acknowledgment even if you are still waiting for your KYC results as it is required for anyone to migrate to Mainnet anyway. Others must secure their account as required in the Mainnet Checklist. Check your KYC app and Mainnet Checklist today and take actions when prompted in order to receive your final KYC results and get ready for migration as soon as possible!

RT @PiCoreTeam: “Pi will launch Open Network in the first quarter of 2025!” announced Nicolas Kokkalis, one of the two Pi Network Founders.…

We’re making excellent progress towards Open Network with over 9 million Pioneers who have migrated to Mainnet! If you’re still waiting on either Mainnet migration or KYC, remember to check your Mainnet Checklist and KYC app to see if further actions are necessary.

The Grace Period requires both KYC and Mainnet migration to be completed by January 31, 2025 to avoid forfeiting most of your Pi other than Pi mined within the rolling window of the last 6 months before your Pi is migrated. Make sure to stay within the deadline!

Pioneers, go to the Pi mining app home screen and tap “2024 Review” next to Chat to see your 2024 mining summary that highlights your milestones within the network and celebrates your achievements over the past year.

Happy New Year, Pioneers! With Pi’s upcoming Open Network launch in Q1 2025, there’s a lot to be excited for in the next year. Continue to complete KYC and Mainnet migration if you haven’t already, and also encourage your networks to do the same.

Read more about how the Ecosystem Interface is expanding to incorporate Mainnet apps, continuing Pi’s mission of empowering Pioneers and developers with new utilities and opportunities!

As part of preparing for Open Network in Q1 2025, Pi Network made Mainnet Pi apps accessible through the Ecosystem Interface on the Pi Browser. An initial 20 Pi apps are included, with more apps to come in the future. Pioneers can explore these Mainnet Pi apps, but exercise caution and use them at your own risk because they are not developed or endorsed by Pi Network. Developers should get their Pi apps in shape and apply to be included in the interface through the Pi Dev Portal. Go to the Pi app home screen to learn more.

Why do we need to reduce the gap between the number of KYC’d and Mainnet migrated Pioneers? Because we want to include as many of them as possible in the Open Network!

“We have always prioritized accessibility and inclusivity, and therefore, we want to give more Pioneers the opportunity to use their Pi once Open Network launches. More Pi on Mainnet also means more engagement and stability in the ecosystem.” - Pi Founders Chengdiao Fan and Nicolas Kokkalis. Read the full announcement for detailed information about the Pi’s plans to launch Open Network in Q1 2025!

Grace Period Update Reminder: We’re extending both KYC and Mainnet Migration Grace Period deadlines to January 31, 2025 to help include more Pioneers and their Pi as we prepare for Open Network in Q1 2025!
