Today, 28th of February 2025, PI Network is putting an end to KYC verification and mainnet migration for pioneers. Any coins that are still not migrated after today will be forfeited. Learn more about what happens to your unverified PI after deadline.
But relax! Not for pioneers that have already completed their KYC and participated in the first round of open mainnet launch. In other words, if you've successfully migrated your mined PI coins to mainnet wallet the first time and looking for ways to complete the migration the second time, then congrats to you.
Last week, I wrote an article detailing how to keep mining Pi and why pioneers should continue mining PI. When I published the article, I realized that question will come on how to migrate PI to mainnet wallet the second time.
In this article, I'm also going to detail how you can successfully migrate your mined transferable PI to mainnet wallet the second time without facing any stress as you did the first time. Meanwhile, if you're still stuck at migration or KYC, then you need to read this comprehensive tutorial; it's a detail guide that explains the working method to complete PI KYC and migration.
How to migrate PI to mainnet wallet the second time
PI migration to mainnet wallet is automatical. The first migration is done after KYC verification and completion. However, the second migration has no specific date, but there is certainly going to be a second migration.
Watch this video:
The Pi Core Team has announced plans to introduce a new self-service feature for pioneers’ wallets on the Pi Network mainnet. This tool will allow you to perform subsequent migrations independently, such as adjusting lockup durations or activating migrations like the third or later ones.
While the second migration may not be included initially, this feature aims to give pioneers greater control over their Pi coins without relying on the core team’s assistance. In other words, the second migration may be done automatically and on queue like the first migration.
However, there is currently no confirmed timeline for when the second migration will begin. Many pioneers (around 10 million at the time of writing) are still awaiting their first mainnet migration, and the team is working to clear backlogs in the migration queue.
Updates, security checks, and system improvements are also ongoing to ensure the network’s stability. The core team has urged patience, advising pioneers to focus on mining Pi compliantly and trust that migrations will proceed smoothly in due course.
The second migration is a critical step towards achieving a fully operational open mainnet, ensuring all accounts and balances are secure and robust. Pioneers should stay prepared for future self-service options while understanding that delays are part of refining the ecosystem.
As long as users mine without policy violations, their migrations—whether first, second, or subsequent—will eventually process, mirroring the reliability of past procedures. So, the one thing I keep telling pioneers is that keep mining PI as long as you can still do. Noone knows what's going to happen to mining of PI in the nearest future and PI coins carry a lot of potentials even more than BTC.
