Pi Network Hints at 2025 Mainnet Token Migration to Resolve Referral Delays

Pi Network is reportedly considering a second mainnet token migration in 2025 to resolve ongoing issues related to delayed referral bonuses and untransferred balances, according to recent comments from a community moderator [1]. This development follows growing frustrations among users who have experienced prolonged delays in accessing their tokens, particularly those linked to referral incentives. The potential migration would seek to transition these outstanding balances onto the mainnet, increasing token liquidity and usability [2].

The proposed migration is expected to be discussed in an upcoming meeting between community moderators and project founders, including Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Dr. Chengdiao Fan, who are central to the network's leadership [3]. A moderator noted, "I do think it can," hinting at the feasibility of the plan [1]. If implemented, this second migration would follow a similar approach to the first one, aiming to streamline access to tokens and enhance the Pi ecosystem’s functionality.

Community sentiment, as reflected on platforms such as Binance Square, remains largely optimistic despite a recent dip in PI’s market price [2]. Users are eager for tangible solutions to unresolved issues, with many expressing anticipation for increased wallet activity and the resolution of Know Your Customer (KYC) and referral bonus balances [1]. A successful migration could transform currently inactive tokens into functional assets, potentially stabilizing the PI economy and encouraging further development of mainnet applications [4].

The timing of the proposed migration also coincides with broader concerns about the network’s token supply. According to some reports, over 620 million Pi tokens could unlock by December 2025, potentially exerting pressure on supply and affecting token value [4]. A well-executed second migration may help manage this pressure by ensuring a more controlled and equitable distribution of newly available tokens.

Despite these potential benefits, the plan remains unofficial and subject to change. Previous delays in migration have raised concerns about the project’s execution capabilities, and the second migration must be carefully managed to maintain trust and transparency [2]. The outcome of the upcoming discussions between moderators and founders will be critical in determining the next steps and the network’s long-term viability.

The development also highlights the challenges of maintaining user engagement in a decentralized project that relies heavily on community participation for mining and validation [3]. If successful, the second migration could serve as a pivotal moment in Pi Network’s evolution, offering a clearer path toward mainstream adoption and a more robust digital asset ecosystem.
