As of today, let’s keep it real —even if 10 billion Pi coins are floating around, only a tiny fraction — less than 1 million — will actually function at GCV (Global Consensus Value). Why? Because most Pi coins have been transferred to exchanges, and once that happens, the Purity Badge ✅ is gone — forever.

🔒 The Purity Badge = GCV Power

Dr. Nicolas said it best:

> "Every Pi is scarce and valuable. And those Pioneers who persevere until the end will achieve great things in life!"

And Dr. Chengdiao Fan didn’t hold back either:

> "10 Pi is enough for a generation, and Pi is non-conformist!"

Let that sink in.

⛏️ PI MINING IS COMING TO AN END

As the global open mainnet launch inches closer, big shifts are coming:

🔻 Pi gas fees will drop

✅ Smart contract addresses will launch on Pi Blockchain

💻 Up to 300 validator nodes go live

🌐 Pi Browser will display true Pi value via the Pi Blockchain Explorer

💰 Your available balance will show its USD equivalent in the wallet

🔍 TWO TYPES OF PI BALANCES IN PI BROWSER WALLET

Once the open mainnet goes live, your wallet will clearly show two Pi categories:

1. Contribution Balance

Never sent to any exchange

Comes with Purity Badge ✅

Fully functional at GCV

2. Non-Contribution Balance

Transferred to an exchange at any point

Purity Badge ✅ lost permanently

Cannot be used at GCV

There’s no trick, no shortcut. The system is built to reward loyalty and contribution.

🔐 HOW TO GET THE PURITY BADGE ✅

To have Pi that holds true GCV value:

1. Create a Pi account

2. Mine for at least 30 days

3. Pass KYC verification

4. Be in the migration queue

5. Wait for your Pi to be transferred by the Core Team to your Pi Browser wallet

Once it lands in your Pi Browser wallet without touching exchanges, it will hold the Purity Badge ✅. But once moved to an exchange? That badge is gone, no matter what you do.

🎉 Congrats to the true believers — the loyal Pioneers who mined, held, stayed patient, and stayed clean. You’re the ones who will hold Pi that actually matters in the next phase of Web3.
