Essential reminder as we get closer to Open Network:
It is important for Pioneers to safeguard their Pi account and watch out for potential bad actors and activities, scams, and individuals impersonating others. Please be careful of unaffiliated and unauthorized activities, some of which may be associated with fraudulent events and actions meant to defraud our users by their misappropriation and unauthorized use of Pi’s name and trademark.

Neither Pi Network, nor anyone affiliated with Pi Network, has any affiliation whatsoever with any parties organizing or engaging in such illegal or harmful activities to our users or the community. Any such activities which seek to charge users money or make false and misleading promises of monetary rewards or future profits, or MLM are unauthorized by Pi Network—Pi is free to mine and has never been for sale.

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. https://minepi.com/safety/

Reminder: The Grace Period requires both KYC and Mainnet migration to be completed by February 28, 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.

Open Network has officially launched, marking a groundbreaking moment for all Pioneers! With external connectivity now enabled, Pioneers can engage in transactions beyond the Pi ecosystem, connect with KYB-verified businesses, and access new integrations like centralized exchanges.

Beware of fake Pi listings on various DEXs. It is important to note that Pi trading pairs currently listed on all DEXs are fraudulent and are likely to be part of a scam which results in loss to you. Pi Network strongly recommends that you refrain from participating in any current DEX trading pairs. If you choose to proceed, despite this warning, you run the risk of being defrauded, receiving fake Pi and losing your money. Please refer to the KYB’d services page on the Pi official website for verified businesses that integrate with Pi. We recommend that you only engage with businesses listed on this page. https://minepi.com/kyb-list/#VerifiedBusinesses

Happy Pi Day 2025, Pi Network’s 6th official anniversary! With Open Network now launched, celebrate the expansion of Pi Network’s ecosystem on all levels and real-world functionality. Multiple releases today include a new .pi Domains Auction that facilitates an important ecosystem infrastructure layer while creating a platform-level utility for Pi, a revamp to the Ecosystem Interface, and the expansion of Mainnet Ecosystem applications. The PiFest shopping period also begins today! Go to the Pi mining app home screen to learn more!

Open Network’s enabling of external connectivity connects Pi’s thriving ecosystem to the broader blockchain world and expands its real-world functionality. Millions of Pioneers are using Pi, tens of thousands of businesses are integrating it into their services, and many apps were built that address community and ecosystem needs and drive real engagement—showcasing Pi’s strength and stability for not just the Pi community but also the broader crypto space and internet.

Remember to read the full Pi Day 2025 blog to learn about the expansion of Pi’s ecosystem utility on all levels. https://minepi.com/blog/pi-day-2025/

Pi Network has released two-factor authentication (2FA) for wallet confirmation that requires some Pioneers to complete 2FA using a trusted email before their Pi is successfully migrated to the Mainnet blockchain. This secures and confirms Pioneers’ Pi Wallets, supporting the security of Pioneers’ accounts and their Pi.

Certain Pioneers who migrated their Pi to Mainnet over the last few weeks—but are still within the 14 day pending period—will also need to complete 2FA; otherwise, their Pi will be securely returned to their mining app. After the completion of the 2FA, their same balance will get migrated again.

Pi Network is adding email-based two-factor authentication to the overall account management and verification.

This change addresses challenges with current SMS (text message) account verification, improves security, and lays the groundwork for future verification methods like passkeys and biometrics. To ensure a secure shift, system level analytics and checks were required to validate how Pioneers verify their accounts using the new method, which led to a temporary pause in migrations. Migrations have now resumed and will gradually expand. Read the full blog for more information about the update and how it benefits the network in the long term. https://minepi.com/blog/update-on-mainnet-migration-and-account-verification/

The Pi Ad Network finished its pilot, and developers can apply to join the Pi Ad Network now! The premise of selection is to be listed in the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface and compliant with developer ecosystem guidelines. This platform-level utility transforms the collective attention of Pi’s millions of Engaged Pioneers into a tangible and sustainable mechanism for supporting the Pi Apps and the ecosystem.

A Mainnet migration roadmap based on the network’s priorities is now available. The roadmap outlines how first migrations, second migrations with referral bonuses, and ongoing migrations on a regular basis will be prioritized in that order. The blog also further explains Pi’s tokenomics and supply structure, including how each allocation is proportionally tied to Pioneers’ Migrated Mining Rewards, ensuring fairness, aligned incentives, and transparency across the network. https://minepi.com/blog/mainnet-migrations-roadmap-and-tokenomics/

The allocation structure of the Pi Supply model ensures the impartial role of any processes that affect the migration speed because all other allocation buckets track the pace of Migrated Mining Rewards.

It was intentionally designed to align the interests of all parties in the network to get as many Pioneers and as many Pi onto the Mainnet as possible. The network is committed to migrating Pioneers and their Pi as soon as possible.
