Pi Network users express frustration over inability to transfer their mined Pi Coins

Pi Network users, known as Pioneers, are expressing growing frustration over their inability to transfer their mined Pi Coins (PI) to the blockchain's mainnet.

The Pi Network is quickly approaching a critical juncture as the deadline for users to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) and Mainnet migration looms. According to a recent announcement, Pioneers must finalize these processes by 8:00 AM UTC on March 14, or they risk losing most of their Pi Coins.

However, coins mined within the past six months will be exempt from this forfeiture.

The Grace Period, designed to provide ample time for users to complete verification, has already been extended multiple times. The Pi team explained that these extensions were put in place to accommodate as many legitimate users as possible, ensuring their balances could be verified and migrated.

“The end of the Grace Period is inevitable to make sure the network can move on in its new phase without large sums of unverified and unclaimed mobile balances,” the blog post read.

But despite the urgency, several Pi Network users, known as Pioneers, are expressing growing frustration over their inability to transfer their mined Pi Coins (PI) to the blockchain’s mainnet.

The concerns mount as the network’s Grace Period deadline approaches, leaving users with just four days to complete the necessary migration process.

Pi Network Sets March 14 Deadline for KYC and Mainnet Migration

The Pi Network has set a critical deadline for users to complete their Know Your Customer (KYC) verification and Mainnet migration. According to the announcement, Pioneers must finalize these processes by 8:00 AM UTC on March 14, 2025.

Failing to do so will result in the loss of most of their Pi holdings. However, coins mined within the past six months are exempt from this. The Grace Period, introduced to give users ample time to complete verification, has already been extended multiple times.

As per the Pi team, these extensions were designed to accommodate as many legitimate users as possible, ensuring their balances could be verified and migrated.

“The end of the Grace Period is inevitable to make sure the network can move on in its new phase without large sums of unverified and unclaimed mobile balances,” the blog read.

Despite this urgency, numerous Pioneers have reported issues preventing them from transferring their PI to the Mainnet. Among them is Jaro Giesbrecht. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Giesbrecht claimed he had completed the Mainnet checklist but remained stalled.

“The Pi network has done nothing to help solve this problem. It is a very common problem. Pi has done nothing to help fix this and other problems,” he wrote.

Giesbrecht further intensified his criticism, arguing that the deadline should be postponed until all Pioneer issues are resolved. He suggested that failing to do so would render the entire process ineffective and spark concerns over the project’s legitimacy.

“They should extend the period until all issues are solved. Otherwise, it will be a complete failure. Who will care about a token that is not listed and has no liquidity?”

The issue appears widespread, with other Pioneers voicing similar complaints on X.

“The whole process is a joke. ~80% of my balance shows as unverified, although all of my security circle have completed KYC. No additional actions are listed to be taken in order to clear this up. Furthermore, nobody got back to me on a support ticket I opened weeks ago. What gives?” a user wrote.

Another user pointed out that Step 9 on the Mainnet checklist—Migrate to Mainnet—remains incomplete, leaving their Pi balances in limbo.

“What’s the problem with the mainnet migration? Are we to forfeit our mined PI due to an error from your end?”

Pi Coin Sees Double-Digit Losses Amid Binance Listing Uncertainty

While the looming deadline worries many, others eagerly await March 14, widely recognized as Pi Day. The occasion has sparked optimism for a potential price surge despite Pi Coin’s recent struggles in the market.

“As long as we don’t break $1.2 support, I’m bullish. PI day is approaching, and hopefully, we will see a pump.”

Over the past week, PI has sustained double-digit losses, shedding 16.3% of its value. In the last 24 hours alone, it has seen a 12.2% decline from the previous day, currently trading at $1.40.

The Pi Network community’s concerns extend beyond price movements, as many Pioneers are pressing for Binance to list Pi Coin.

Although Binance has yet to make any official announcements regarding PI, it recently introduced “Vote to List” and “Vote to Delist” programs, which may interest crypto enthusiasts.

The crypto exchange also launched new modules for its institutional-grade derivatives products, expanding its offerings in the derivatives market.

Recently, Binance introduced the Vote to List and Vote to Delist programs, providing users with the opportunity to engage in decision-making processes concerning new assets to be listed or existing ones to be delisted. The
