Mainnet Wallet Access No Longer Tied to Migration
Until now, accessing the Pi Mainnet wallet required full completion of the migration process—a lengthy step involving identity checks and technical verifications. This new update decouples wallet activation from migration, meaning users who have passed any stage of KYC can now immediately engage with the Pi ecosystem.
Despite this simplified access, strict KYC standards remain in place, maintaining the platform’s focus on security and user authenticity.
Third-Party Wallet Access Now Available for Non-Users
One of the most groundbreaking parts of the update is its third-party onboarding capability. New users who were never part of Pi Network’s mining phase can now get their own Mainnet wallets via verified third-party platforms.
Services like Banxa, which is now KYB-verified, offer streamlined KYC checks that allow newcomers to enter the ecosystem quickly—no mining or migration needed. This dramatically lowers the entry barrier for global users.
Boosting Ecosystem Growth and Real-World Utility
This update isn’t just about wallets—it’s about ecosystem expansion. With more users gaining access, developers and Pi-based app creators can expect increased traffic, more transactions, and richer feedback loops to improve app functionality.
In addition, Pi Network is now piloting KYC delegation to trusted third parties, paving the way for faster, more scalable user onboarding, key to achieving real-world adoption at scale.
A More Inclusive Future for Pi Network
Pi Network is breaking barriers and accelerating access. With Mainnet wallets now open to both Pioneers and new users, the network is positioning itself for exponential growth and wider utility across its blockchain applications.
Whether you’re a long-time user or just discovering Pi, this update opens the door to real engagement with Pi’s blockchain-powered ecosystem.
