How to Withdraw Pi Coin from Pi Network to Bitget (Full Guide)

Understanding Pi Network Mainnet Migration

1. Pi Network officially launched its open mainnet on February 20, 2025, enabling real blockchain transactions and external wallet interoperability.

2. All Pi balances held in the Pi Browser wallet must be migrated to the mainnet before any transfer to exchanges like Bitget can occur.

3. Migration requires successful completion of KYC verification through the official Pi KYC portal or approved third-party providers such as Synaps or Onfido.

4. Users who completed KYC prior to mainnet launch received priority migration queues; delays may occur for late submissions due to backend validation volume.

5. Post-migration, Pi tokens appear as ERC-20-compatible assets on the Stellar blockchain, with addresses beginning with “M” — this format is mandatory for Bitget deposits.

Bitget Account Preparation Steps

1. Register a Bitget account using an email address or phone number verified under EEA jurisdiction if residing in the European Economic Area.

2. Complete full KYC Level 3 verification, including submission of passport or national ID, proof of residence, and selfie with document.

3. Enable two-factor authentication via Google Authenticator and bind a recovery email separate from the registration email.

4. Navigate to the “Deposit” section, select “PI” under cryptocurrencies, and choose the Stellar (XLM) network — no other network option is valid for Pi transfers.

5. Copy the generated deposit address carefully; it starts with “M” and contains exactly 56 characters — any deviation indicates an invalid or corrupted address.

Initiating the Transfer from Pi Wallet

1. Open the latest version of Pi Browser app and log into your mainnet-enabled wallet using your 24-word mnemonic phrase.

2. Confirm that your balance displays as “Available” under the “Mainnet Balance” tab — locked or pending migration balances cannot be sent.

3. Tap “Pay”, then select “Manually Add Wallet Address”, and paste the Bitget deposit address without any extra spaces or symbols.

4. Enter the exact amount of Pi to transfer, ensuring it exceeds the minimum required gas fee of 0.00001 XLM (automatically deducted from your XLM reserve).

5. Review all fields: recipient address, amount, and estimated confirmation time (typically 3–7 confirmations on Stellar, averaging under 5 seconds per block).

Transaction Monitoring and Confirmation

1. After submission, the transaction hash appears immediately in the Pi Browser transaction history with status “Pending”.

2. Track the transaction on Stellar Explorer by pasting the hash — look for “Success” result and “Operation Type: Payment”.

3. Bitget typically credits PI deposits within 10–25 minutes after final Stellar confirmation, depending on internal queue processing speed.

4. If the deposit does not appear after 45 minutes, verify that the deposit address matches exactly and that the network selected on Bitget was Stellar (XLM), not Ethereum or TRON.

5. Do not resend the same transaction — duplicate hashes will be rejected by the Stellar network and incur unnecessary fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I withdraw Pi directly from Pi Browser to a hardware wallet?Yes, but only to wallets supporting Stellar Protocol 23 and capable of holding PI tokens natively — Ledger Live and Zypto App are currently certified for this purpose.

Q2: Why does my Pi deposit show “Processing” for over one hour on Bitget?This usually occurs when the deposit address was copied incorrectly or when the Stellar network experienced temporary congestion — verify the transaction hash on Stellar Explorer to confirm whether the payment reached the intended destination.

Q3: Is there a withdrawal fee when sending Pi from Pi Browser to Bitget?No direct Pi withdrawal fee applies, but the Stellar network charges a fixed base fee of 100 stroops (0.00001 XLM), which must be pre-funded in your Pi wallet as part of the XLM reserve requirement.

Q4: What happens if I send Pi to a non-Stellar address on Bitget?The funds will be irretrievably lost. Bitget’s PI deposit system only accepts addresses on the Stellar network; deposits made to Ethereum, BSC, or TRON addresses will not be credited and cannot be recovered.
