As of today, I can confidently say this: even if there are around 10 billion Pi coins in circulation, less than 1 million of them actually qualify to work at the official GCV (Global Consensus Value). Why? Because most of the Pi coins have already been sent to exchanges, which causes them to lose their Purity Badge ✅ — permanently.
Dr. Nicolas himself once said, “Every Pi is scarce and valuable. Those who stay committed until the end will achieve great things in life!” And Dr. Chengdiao Fan made it clear too: “10 Pi is enough for an entire generation — Pi doesn’t follow the crowd!”
We’re getting closer to the end of Pi mining. Once the global open mainnet goes live, here’s what’s going to happen:
✅ The Pi gas fee will drop significantly,
✅ Pi will have its own contract address on the Pi Blockchain Network,
✅ Around 300 computer nodes will be active,
✅ The Pi Browser will start showing the real Pi value directly through the Pi Blockchain Explorer,
✅ Your Pi Browser wallet will display your available Pi balance along with its dollar equivalent right below it.
But there’s an important difference you need to know about the Pi in your wallet:
1. Contribution Balance – This is the Pi you mined yourself and never sent to any exchange. It keeps its Purity Badge ✅ and will work at GCV value.
2. Non-Contribution Balance – This is Pi that has been transferred to an exchange at some point. Unfortunately, it loses the Purity Badge ✅ forever and cannot work at GCV.
You can’t trick the system. If you want to hold Pi with the Purity Badge ✅, here’s what you need to do:
✔️ Create a Pi account,
✔️ Mine Pi for at least 30 days,
✔️ Complete your KYC,
✔️ Stay in the migration queue.
Once your migration is complete, the Pi Core Team will transfer your mined Pi to your Pi Browser wallet, and those coins will carry the Purity Badge ✅. But be careful — the moment you send them to an exchange, the badge is gone for good, even if you bring the Pi back.

Big congratulations to all the true and patient Pioneers out there — the future looks bright for us!

What is Pi Network?
Pi Network is a blockchain-based digital currency project founded by a team of Stanford PhDs, including Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis. It’s designed to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone — even from your phone.
