Are you still stuck at migrating your mined PI to mainnet wallet? Look no further because I’m going to show you exactly how I migrated my mined PI from the PI app to mainnet wallet successfully.
The Pi Network officially transitioned to its Open Mainnet on February 20, 2025, at 8:00 AM UTC. This significant launch allows Pioneers to engage in transactions beyond the Pi ecosystem, expanding its existing utility and reach to exchanging platforms like Binance.
Binance was the first cryptocurrency platform that list PI coin (PI) at the time of open mainnet launch. At that time, the price of Pi Coin (PI) fluctuated a lot. It started trading at around $1.45, then jumped to $2.10 within the first hour. Some reports said it peaked at $1.97 before dropping. However, at the time of writing, PI coin is about $0.85 per PI.
Aside Binance, many popular cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms, including OKX and Bitget, have listed Pi Coin on their networks. This will give crypto lovers more access to exchange their tokens for another cryptocurrencies.
However, despite the long time dedication to mine PI, some pioneers are still having difficulties migrating their tokens to mainnet wallet. Some even get stuck at KYC with no hope to complete their migration.
And as required by PI, all pending “Mainnet Checklist” must be completed before your token be added to automatic migration queue.
So, if you’re unable to complete your KYC on the PI Network app or your migration won’t complete, make sure that you read this article to the end because I’m about to show solutions to all your PI problems.
How to complete PI KYC
Completing PI KYC is easy. However, if you’re unable to complete yours indicates that there’s some little mistakes you’ve been making. First of all, you need to meet PI KYC requirements which includes downloading the PI browser app, having a valid government-issued ID, ready for facial verification, and submitting accurate personal information.
Once all these information and documents are in place, you are good to go. All you need to do is login to your PI app and provide to “KYC” to submit your documents. However, make sure that the names on the government-issued ID is the same with the names on your PI account. If the names are not tally, your verification will fail.
Secondly, upload your ID card using clear and clean camera to snap it. Make sure it’s not blurry and all the details on the card can easily be read. Otherwise, your KYC verification will fail. Meanwhile, if the picture on the ID is blurry or can’t be seen clearly by validators, you will receive a fail KYC notification stating that your unclear image.
To solve this issue, you can use another ID card that features clear image. If you don’t have, you can request for a new ID card. If you cannot get a new ID card at the moment, use your recent photo passport.
To use your recent photo passport, follow these steps to understand the tips:
- Cut your recent photo passport to the exact size of the photo box on your ID card.
- Use super glue (gum) to glue it to the ID card. Carefully place it in the exact position on the image on the ID card.
Now, you have a clear and clean image on your ID Card. Re-upload the ID and complete your facial verification. Trust me, your KYC will be verified within 24 hours.
How I know this? I am one of PI KYC validators. So, I know how KYC applications are submitted on our desk. When PI gives us users KYC applications to verify, the network will only bring out the image on the ID card, the names date of birth on the ID for us to check if it’s the same with facial verification and information on users’s PI account.
In this case, if the image on your ID card is blurry or can’t define that it’s truly you that’s on the ID card, we will decline your KYC application with reasons. So, by bypassing the blur image with your recent photo passport on the ID card will definitely workout for your KYC on the PI network.
Recap: How to resolve KYC Issues on PI Network
- Use ID card that features clear image.
- Information on ID must be the same with information on your PI network.
- Your selfie photo and facial verification must match the image on your ID card.
- If the image on your ID card is blurry, cut-size your recent photo passport to fit into the ID and re-upload.
Migrating PI Coins to Mainnet Wallet
Many Pioneers are stuck in this process. I have a friend who’s been stuck at migrating since six months ago, and I migrated mine within 5 days. I know you will be wondering why! Well, I will share some reasons and solutions to this issue. All you need to do is continue reading this article to the end to get the full clue.
On a norms, once the KYC application is completed and verified, your transferable token will be on queue, getting ready to be moved to your Mainnet wallet—where it can be used, exchange or send to other pioneers—within 14 days.
Why PI couldn’t migrate to Mainnet?
- System Queue Delays – Some users experience longer migration wait times due to high traffic or Pi Network’s internal processing speed.
- Unverified Referral Rewards – If part of their balance comes from referrals who haven’t passed KYC, that portion might be on hold.
- Technical Issues – There might be an issue with their wallet binding or blockchain processing.
- Account-Specific Issues – If their account was flagged for any reason (like duplicate accounts or incorrect details), migration might be delayed.
I suggest that you check your Pi Wallet, Pi Browser, and app notifications for any error messages. If everything seems fine but you’re still stuck, reaching out to Pi Support or the community moderators might help.
However, these people are not responding as at the time of writing. Even, they only drop updates on their Twitter account without any further reply to pioneer queries.
Suggestions from other users
Other pioneers that have followed all the steps explained above and their PI is still not migrating believe that there’s some technical issues from PI network’s end that’s causing the not-migrating issues.
However, while some pioneers have taken a step further to embrace try-by-errors solutions that works, some are still stuck regardless of the solutions they’re tried. These pioneers are worried that they’re going to loose their PI coins because PI network has set 28th of February 2025 as the deadline for Mainnet migration.
Other solutions from affected pioneers that works include:
- Resetting your PI network app password.
- Requesting a new Mainnet wallet.
While these solutions work for some pioneers, some are still complaining that it doesn’t work. Let’s know what work for you in the comments section so that we can use your opinions to better improve this article.
