🔍 Pi Network: GCV, Purity, and the Road Ahead
Even with over 10 billion Pi coins in circulation, less than 1 million Pi will qualify for GCV (Global Consensus Value) status.
Why?
Because many users sent their Pi to exchanges — and in doing so, permanently lost the Purity Badge ✅.
🧠 Key Voices Speak:
> "Every Pi is scarce and valuable. Those who persevere will achieve great things."
— Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis
> "10 Pi is enough for a generation. Pi is a non-conformist currency."
— Dr. Chengdiao Fan

🚀 What to Expect with Open Mainnet:
✅ Gas fees will be significantly reduced
✅ Pi will gain a unique contract address on the Pi blockchain
✅ Over 300+ computer nodes will go live
✅ Real-time price tracking via Pi Blockchain Explorer on the Pi Browser
✅ Wallets will display balances in both Pi and USD value

🔐 Two Types of Pi Balances:
1. ✅ Contribution Balance
‣ Mined through the app
‣ KYC-verified
‣ Never sent to exchanges
‣ Eligible for GCV — retains the Purity Badge
2. ❌ Non-Contribution Balance
‣ Transferred to exchanges
‣ Loses Purity Badge
‣ Ineligible for GCV

🛑 Important:
You cannot recover the Purity Badge once Pi is sent to an exchange.
To earn it and qualify for GCV:
✔ Create a Pi account
✔ Mine for at least 30 days
✔ Complete KYC
✔ Join the migration queue
✔ Migrate your Pi to the mainnet wallet
Only then will your Pi receive the Purity Badge ✅.
