Pi Network has just launched a major update unlocking the Mainnet wallet for a broader user base. Now, anyone who has completed part of the KYC process for Pi can activate their Mainnet wallet—no need to wait for full migration.
This move marks a significant turning point in the journey of Pi Network, allowing verified users to start using Pi directly in applications, engage in local peer-to-peer transactions, and participate in community-driven events like the highly anticipated .pi domain auction.
Access to the Mainnet wallet is no longer tied to the migration.
Until now, accessing the Pi Mainnet wallet required completing the entire migration process—a lengthy step involving identity verification and technical validation. This new update separates wallet activation from the migration process, meaning users who have passed any KYC stage can now immediately participate in the Pi ecosystem.
Despite this simplified access, strict KYC standards still apply, maintaining the platform's focus on user security and authenticity.
Third-party wallet access is now available for non-users.
One of the most groundbreaking parts of the update is the integration capability of third parties. New users who have never participated in the mining phase of Pi Network can now have their own Mainnet wallet through verified third-party platforms.
Services like Banxa, now KYB verified, provide reasonable KYC checks that allow newcomers to join the ecosystem quickly—no mining or migration required. This significantly lowers the entry barrier for global users.
Driving ecosystem growth and practical utility.
This update is not just about the wallet but also about expanding the ecosystem. With more users having access, developers and app creators based on Pi can expect increased traffic, more transactions, and richer feedback loops to enhance app functionality.
Additionally, Pi Network is now experimenting with KYC delegation for trusted third parties, paving the way for faster onboarding of users onto the network, which is key to achieving practical adoption at scale.
A more inclusive future for Pi Network.
Pi Network is breaking down barriers and accelerating access. With the Mainnet wallet now open to both Pioneers and new users, the network is positioning itself for exponential growth and broader utility across its blockchain applications.
Whether you are a long-time user or new to exploring Pi, this update will open the door to real interaction with the blockchain-powered Pi ecosystem.
