Act Now or Lose Access

The Pi Core Team has officially confirmed March 14, 2025, as the absolute final deadline for Pioneers to migrate their Pi coins to the Mainnet during the Enclosed Mainnet phase. This extension addresses global user delays but comes with a strict cutoff. Here’s your step-by-step guide to safeguard your Pi coins, updated with verified 2025 deadlines and processes.

Pi Network Mainnet migration final deadline March 14, 2025

Why Was the Deadline Extended to 2025?

Global Accessibility: Millions of users needed extra time for KYC verification due to regional delays.
Technical Enhancements: Improved wallet security and node stability for smoother migration.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring adherence to evolving crypto regulations before Open Mainnet.

Official Statement (Pi Blog, March 2024):
“This is the final extension. After March 14, 2025, unmigrated Pi will remain locked until Open Mainnet.”

Step-by-Step Migration Guide (2025 Deadline)

Step 1: Complete Pi KYC Verification

Open the Pi Browser app → Navigate to KYC Application.
Submit a government ID (passport, driver’s license) and a live selfie.
Approval takes 3–14 days (varies by region).

Troubleshooting: Stuck in KYC? Contact support via the app’s chat feature.

Step 2: Set Up Your Pi Wallet

Download the Pi Wallet through the Pi Browser (not third-party sources).
Securely store your 24-word recovery phrase (write it down physically; digital copies are risky).
Double-check your wallet address before migrating.

Pro Tip: Test your wallet by sending 1 Pi to another Pioneer.

Step 3: Migrate Pi to Mainnet

Open the Pi Mining App → Go to Mainnet Checklist.
Confirm your wallet address and transfer your Pi balance.
Wait for blockchain confirmation (usually 1–3 hours).

Deadline: March 14, 2025 (23:59 UTC).

3 Fatal Mistakes to Avoid

Ignoring KYC: No verification = no migration. Start now – delays are common.
Skipping Wallet Backups: Lose your recovery phrase? Say goodbye to your Pi.
Assuming Another Extension: Pi Network has confirmed NO further deadlines.

No Transfers: You can’t trade, sell, or use Pi until Open Mainnet.
Value Uncertainty: Market conditions may change drastically by Open Mainnet.
