Pi has released several technical updates to KYC and Mainnet migration processes that address specific KYC application corner cases, improve verification processes, and help eligible Pioneers who were previously unable to progress.
KYC and Mainnet migration involve many different checks designed to allow genuine Pioneers to progress while preventing bad actors, bots and those with policy violations.
While most Pioneers move through these processes continuously, certain groups can become stuck because of specific corner cases that require additional evaluation or custom technical solutions.

What is the significance of Pi KYC, and what’s next?
Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis explores the importance of Pi KYC both internally and for the next stage of this initiative to treat KYC itself as a service—KYC as a platform capability.
Why does Pi feel so different from other blockchains? Why does utility matter? Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan explains Pi’s emphasis on utility and how Pi distinguishes itself in the blockchain industry.
Since the launch of Open Network, Pi has continued expanding across multiple dimensions of the ecosystem—from KYC and Mainnet migrations to developer activity and overall network participation. These milestones reflect the steady progress made possible through the collective contributions of Pioneers, developers, businesses, and KYC validators around the world.
Check out some of the key ecosystem growth metrics achieved during the past year since Open Network launched!
Pi’s Standard KYC is now faster and more scalable as a result of integrating additional AI in its validation process, using the underlying technology of Pi Fast Track KYC!
The AI integration cuts the queue of KYC applications waiting for human validators by 50%, easing validator-related bottlenecks and potentially reducing processing time for Standard KYC, which enables Pioneers' migration to Mainnet.
