Why Was the Second Migration Phase of Pi Network Delayed?

Since the launch of the mainnet, there has been a lot of discussion regarding the expansion phases of the Pi Network as millions of users are waiting for their Pi balances to be converted into Pi cryptocurrency. As of now, the Pi Network project has successfully moved over 12 million users in the first migration phase, after completing the customer identity verification process (KYC) along with the data verification and other procedures. Recently, some fans of the Pi network want to know when the second migration phase will be initiated by the core team. For users who migrated in the first phase, the second migration phase offers attractive rewards such as referral mining bonuses for referral group members who have passed KYC.

The Pi Core team recently revealed the roadmap for the mainnet migration for millions of users. In this article, we will explain why the first phase of the mainnet migration process is taking so long and why Pioneers will have to wait several months before they can take advantage of the additional benefits and rewards specifically reserved for them in the second phase. What is the Mainnet Pi Migration? The process of migrating to Mainnet is a complex and large-scale endeavor, involving the transfer of Pi balances for tens of millions of users over more than six years. Unlike the simple airdrops conducted by most other cryptocurrency projects, the movement of Pi is based on audited mining data and includes safeguards against fraud and ensures fairness. The project has successfully migrated over 12 million users, marking an important milestone in scalability, especially considering the internal migration process and KYC provided without any regulatory costs to users. Why is the Mainnet migration process of Pi taking so long? There are over 60 million followers of the Pi network worldwide, from Nigeria to India to Vietnam. Although the project has been significantly delayed since 2019 regarding the launch of the mainnet, it can be argued that the migration phase is a time-consuming process, considering the scale of the data involved. The core team of Pi has always asserted that their priority is to ensure that the transition process takes place transparently and fairly for all users, while maintaining a zero-tolerance policy towards bot accounts and other hacking behaviors carried out by individuals. "The movement needs to occur for a network of tens of millions of people based on complex mining data over the past 6 years to ensure accuracy, security, and fairness for honest Pioneers by excluding fraud. This is not just a simple airdrop to tens of thousands of wallets, without much consideration for additional data, as in many other cryptocurrency projects," a recent blog post from Pi Network Foundation stated. When Can We Expect Pi Network to Move to Mainnet for the Second Time? There has not yet been any official announcement regarding the date of the second migration phase, and considering the current state of the mainnet migration, many are hoping that the second phase will occur in the second or third quarter of 2025. Currently, the priority of the Pi Core team is to ensure that the first migration phase is completed by the first quarter of 2025.
