As of today, it's clear: even if 10 billion Pi coins exist in circulation, less than 1 million of them will qualify to function at GCV (Global Consensus Value). Why? Because many Pi coins have been moved to external exchanges, causing them to lose the Purity Badge ✅ — permanently.
🗣️ What the Founders Say
Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis once emphasized:
> “Every Pi is scarce and valuable. Those who stay committed until the end will achieve greatness.”
Dr. Chengdiao Fan added:
> “10 Pi is enough to impact an entire generation. Pi is not just another coin—it's revolutionary!”

🔒 Two Types of Pi Wallet Balances
1. Contribution Balance
Pi that was mined and never transferred to an exchange
Retains the Purity Badge ✅
Fully eligible for use at GCV value
2. Non-Contribution Balance
Pi that was at any point moved to an exchange
Permanently loses the Purity Badge ✅
Cannot be used at GCV value
🔐 Note: The system is tamper-proof—there’s no way to cheat or reset your Purity Badge once it's lost.

✅ How to Secure the Purity Badge
To ensure your Pi coins retain their full value:
1. Create a Pi Network account
2. Mine Pi for at least 30 days
3. Complete your KYC verification
4. Join the migration queue
After migration, your coins will be transferred by the Pi Core Team to your Pi Browser wallet, with the Purity Badge ✅ intact. However, if you later move these coins to a crypto exchange—even temporarily—the badge is lost forever.
