Pi Network Users Face 4-Day Deadline to Migrate PI Coins Amid Transfer Issues

Pi Network users, known as Pioneers, are expressing growing frustration over their inability to transfer their mined pi Coins (PI) to the blockchain’s mainnet. The concerns mount as the network’s Grace Period deadline approaches, leaving users with just four days to complete the necessary migration process.

The Pi Network has set a critical deadline for users to complete their Know Your Customer (KYC) verification and Mainnet migration. According to the announcement, Pioneers must finalize these processes by 8:00 AM UTC on March 14, 2025. Failing to do so will result in the loss of most of their Pi holdings. However, coins mined within the past six months are exempt from this. The Grace Period, introduced to give users ample time to complete verification, has already been extended multiple times.

As per the Pi team, these extensions were designed to accommodate as many legitimate users as possible, ensuring their balances could be verified and migrated. “The end of the Grace Period is inevitable to make sure the network can move on in its new phase without large sums of unverified and unclaimed mobile balances,” the blog read.

Despite this urgency, numerous Pioneers have reported issues preventing them from transferring their PI to the Mainnet. Among them is Jaro Giesbrecht. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Giesbrecht claimed he had completed the Mainnet checklist but remained stalled. “The Pi network has done nothing to help solve this problem. It is a very common problem. Pi has done nothing to help fix this and other problems,” he wrote. Giesbrecht intensified his criticism, arguing that the deadline should be extended until all Pioneer issues are resolved. He suggested that failing to do so would render the entire process ineffective and raise concerns about the project’s legitimacy.

The issue appears widespread, with other Pioneers echoing similar complaints on X. “The whole process is a joke. ~80% of my balance shows as unverified, although all of my security circle has completed KYC. No additional actions are listed to be taken in order to clear this up. Furthermore, nobody got back to me on a support ticket I opened weeks ago. What gives?” remarked a user. Furthermore, users also noted that Step 9 on the Mainnet checklist—”Migrate to Mainnet”—remains unresolved, leaving their Pi balances in limbo. “What’s the problem
