As the next wave of token migration for Pi approaches, users are reporting numerous technical issues threatening the success of the process.
Background of Pi Network Migration
Launched in 2019, Pi Network allows users to 'mine' its cryptocurrency via a mobile app. After lengthy testing, the mainnet officially launched in early 2025, aiming for mass adoption in decentralized finance. For successful token migration, users must complete five steps including KYC verification and two-factor authentication. However, recent reports highlight significant challenges in this process.
KYC Issues and Their Impact
A key roadblock for many users is the KYC verification process. Thousands have reported that their statuses remain uncertain, with successful KYC completions leading to synchronization issues that prevent their tokens from transferring to the mainnet. One user lamented, 'Give me my $Pi. I’ve worked hard for six years... Why this constant delay?'.
2FA Issues and Next Steps
Another frequent complaint is related to two-factor authentication. Users often fail to receive verification emails or encounter broken links, necessitating a restart of the migration process. The Pi Network team has yet to provide a clear explanation of the issues, but users are advised to double-check settings and simplify processes by clearing the app cache.
Despite the ongoing migration challenges, the Pi Network team is working on resolutions. It is crucial for them to address KYC and 2FA difficulties before the planned migration can occur.
