When can the pi network coin unverified and transferable balances get migrated to the pi wallet?

Short answer
• Your transferable balance will be migrated to your Pi wallet as soon as you (a) pass KYC, (b) link a mainnet wallet, and (c) accept the Mainnet and Lock-up terms. Pi migrates eligible balances in batch jobs that usually run every 24 hours, so once the above steps are complete you normally see your coins in your wallet within a day.
• Your unverified balance cannot migrate until the people in your earning team/security circle and any pending referrals complete their own KYC. As soon as each portion becomes “transferable,” it will automatically join the next migration batch—there is no extra action required from you.
Why it works this way
1. Mainnet compliance – To keep Pi legal and Sybil-resistant, every coin on mainnet must be traceable to a KYC-verified human.
2. Daily batching – The core team processes migrations in groups (similar to a nightly settlement run) to reduce on-chain fees and network congestion.
3. Unlock logic – Only the portion of your mined balance backed by KYC-verified contributors becomes “transferable”; the rest stays “unverified” until its contributors pass KYC.
What you should do now 😊
• Finish your own KYC and link your wallet if you have not already.
• Remind any teammates/referrals who still show “Not KYC’d” to complete their verification. Their approval instantly converts that slice of your “unverified” balance into “transferable,” and it will move to your wallet in the very next batch.
• After each successful migration, open the Pi Wallet app → ☰ Menu → Transactions to confirm the incoming mainnet transfer.
Typical timeline
Step complete → Coins appear in wallet
• You pass KYC today → next 24 h batch
• Friend A passes KYC tomorrow → coins unlocked + next 24 h batch
• Last friend passes KYC next month → final slice unlocked + following batch
In short, every portion moves over automatically once it satisfies KYC and becomes “transferable,” and batches run roughly once per day. 🎉
