- Pi Network has extended the KYC deadline to February 28, 2025, allowing more time for users to complete verification and secure their coins ahead of the Mainnet launch.
- Failure to meet the deadline will result in the loss of coins mined before the last six months, emphasizing the importance of verified participation for network security.
As Pi Network moves closer to its highly anticipated Open Network launch, the project has announced an extension to the KYC (Know Your Customer) verification deadline, giving users until February 28, 2025, to complete the necessary steps for Mainnet migration. This update brings both relief and urgency to Pi Pioneers as they now have more time to secure their Pi coins and ensure their participation in the ecosystem.
Why the Extension Matters
The Pi Network team’s decision to extend the KYC deadline stems from the need to address several important factors:
- Increase Participation: The additional time allows more users to complete their KYC verification, ensuring a broader, more engaged community when the network transitions to the Mainnet.
- Technical Challenges: Many Pioneers have faced technical issues preventing them from completing KYC. The grace period provides them with the opportunity to resolve these problems and ensure their verification is successful.
- Strengthening the Network: Verified users play a vital role in making Pi Network more secure and robust. A larger pool of verified users will contribute to the integrity and scalability of the Pi ecosystem as the Open Network launch approaches.
What Happens If You Miss the Deadline?
The Pi Network team has made it clear that missing the February 28, 2025, deadline will come with consequences. Users who fail to complete the KYC process will lose their coins that were mined before the last six months. However, they will retain any Pi coins mined within this more recent window.
This strict deadline reinforces the importance of maintaining a decentralized and authentic user base. Only verified participants will contribute to the network’s ongoing development, preventing unverified accounts from compromising the network’s stability and growth.
A Final Warning: Act Now
With the extended deadline looming, Pi Network urges all Pioneers to complete their KYC verification and migration steps as soon as possible. This may be the final extension, making it a critical period for securing your Pi coins and ensuring your place in the future of Pi Network.
Don’t wait until the last minute – the clock is ticking, and time is running out. Act now to avoid losing your hard-earned Pi coins!
