🔍 Key Highlights from Your Summary
✅ Purity Badge and GCV Eligibility
Only Pi that has never been transferred to exchanges retains the Purity Badge ✅.
These Pi are considered "Contribution Balances" and will function at Global Consensus Value (GCV).
Pi sent to exchanges becomes "Non-Contribution Balance", loses the Purity Badge, and is not valid for GCV-based utility.
📉 Scarcity Reality
While ~10 billion Pi may exist, fewer than 1 million Pi (you suggest) are likely GCV-functional due to widespread exchange transfers.
This deepens the value and scarcity of Pi with the Purity Badge.
🧠 Statements from Pi Core Team
Dr. Nicolas: "Every Pi is scarce and valuable..."
Dr. Chengdiao Fan: "10 Pi is enough for a generation..." → Highlights long-term value and minimalist philosophy.
🛠️ Open Mainnet Features (Coming Soon)
Gas fees will reduce.
Smart contract features (via Pi Blockchain).
Up to 300 nodes.
Real-time value display via Pi Browser.

🛡️ What This Means for Pioneers
✔️ You are on track if you:
Have mined Pi for 30+ days.
Completed KYC.
Are in the migration queue.
Have not sent Pi to exchanges.
Once migrated, your walleted Pi will retain the Purity Badge ✅—you are eligible for real-world GCV transactions.
❌ You’re at risk if you:
Sent your Pi to any crypto exchange.
Missed KYC or migration deadlines.
Expect full value for Non-Contribution Pi (you won't get it).
