As of today, even if Pi Networkās circulating supply reaches 10 billion coins, only a tiny portionālikely under 1 millionāwill actually hold true GCV (Global Consensus Value) status. Why? Because most Pi coins have already been sent to exchanges, which automatically removes their Purity Badge ā forever.
Dr. Nicolas himself once reminded us:
> āEvery Pi is scarce and valuable. Those who stay committed till the end will witness incredible success.ā
Dr. Chengdiao Fan also emphasized that
> āJust 10 Pi can be life-changing for a whole generation.ā
š„ What's New in 2025:
The global open mainnet is closer than ever. As final testing phases are being wrapped up, we now know whatās coming:
Gas fees on the Pi Network will drop significantly.
Pi will officially receive a smart contract address under its native blockchain.
Over 300 computing nodes are expected to go live globally.
The Pi Blockchain Explorer via Pi Browser will soon start showing the real-time USD value of your Pi holdings.
Your Pi Wallet inside the Pi Browser will display two balance types:
1. Contribution Balance ā Pi earned by mining, never transferred to exchanges, holding the Purity Badge ā .
2. Non-Contribution Balance ā Pi previously moved to exchanges, permanently losing its Purity Badge ā and can't be used at GCV.
There is no shortcut to GCV eligibility. You must:
Have a registered Pi account,
Mine for a minimum of 30 days,
Complete KYC verification,
Get in the migration queue.
Only after this process will the Pi Core Team send your mined coinsāwith the Purity Badge ā āinto your Pi Wallet. Once you move those coins to an exchange, even if you bring them back, the badge is gone for good.
