No Excuses!! Why You MUST Access Your Pi Wallet Only Through the Pi Browser!!

A Real URL Can Still Be a Real Trap

Visual Trust Is Not Security — Only Pi Browser Is

Third-Party Wallets Are Not Just Risky — They’re Weapons for Thieves

One Browser. One Path. One Safe Way to Hold Pi.

What are the problems with traditional cryptocurrency wallets (multi-wallets)?

1. Now Is the Most Dangerous Time

The Grand Open Mainnet is approaching, and phishing attacks are becoming more aggressive and sophisticated.

Even a single mistake — like entering your wallet passphrase on the wrong site — can lead to **irreversible loss** of your Pi.

The Pi Core Team has made it clear:

**“Even if the URL looks right, it might not be. Don’t trust anything but Pi Browser.”**

2. A Real-Looking Address Can Still Be Fake

Just because an app shows `wallet.pinet.com` or `pi://wallet.pinet.com`, doesn't mean you're actually connected to the real Pi Wallet.

* That URL could be **rendered by a fake app**

* Or it could be **redirected through a malicious server**

* Some apps even **mimic the UI perfectly**, but steal your passphrase

🔴 What you *see* is not always what you *get*.

3. Only Pi Browser Has Built-in Security Marks

You can verify the *real* Pi Wallet by checking three things — all of which **only** appear inside Pi Browser:

* 🟣 A purple top navigation bar

* 🌀 The Pi logo with the Core Team symbol

* 🔒 Internal security routing that third-party apps cannot copy

Outside Pi Browser, even if the URL appears the same, **these indicators can be faked or missing**.

4. Phishing Attacks Are Deceptively Convincing

Here’s a common scam pattern:

* You’re sent a link to what *looks* like the Pi Wallet

* The address shows `pi://wallet.pinet.com`

* A fake UI asks: “Please re-enter your wallet passphrase to confirm identity”

* You think it’s legit — and type it in

* In seconds, your Pi is gone. Forever.

This happens **every day** in crypto.

The only way to prevent it is **never trust a third-party wallet app.**

5. Pi Browser Is Not Just a Browser — It’s the Only Safe Zone

Other wallets promise:

“We support all chains, all dApps, all features!”

But Pi Core Team chose:

“We support only one secure path — because that’s how we protect you.”

Simplicity = Security.

The Pi Browser isn’t limiting you — it’s **protecting you from losing everything.**

6. No Excuses. Just Rules.

🔐 Use the **Pi Browser only** to access your Pi Wallet.

❌ Never trust apps or websites — even if they display the same address.

🧠 If it asks for your passphrase, it’s a scam.

🟣 Trust the purple bar, the Pi logo, and the official route.
