As of today, even if 10 billion Pi coins are in circulation, less than 1 million will actually work at GCV (Global Consensus Value). Why? Because many users have sent their Pi to exchanges, permanently losing their Purity Badge ✅.
Dr. Nicolas said:
“Every Pi is scarce and valuable. Those who stay till the end will achieve great things.”
Dr. Chengdiao Fan also said:
“10 Pi is enough for a generation. Pi is non-conformist!”
Big changes coming when the global open mainnet launches:
* Gas fees will be lower
* Pi will have its own contract address
* Around 300 computer nodes will go live
* Real-time Pi value will show on the Pi Blockchain Explorer through the Pi Browser
* Your wallet will show your Pi balance along with the dollar equivalent
There will be two types of balances in the Pi Browser wallet:
1. Contribution Balance – Pi you mined and never sent to exchanges. These keep the Purity Badge ✅ and work with GCV.
2. Non-Contribution Balance – Pi that was sent to an exchange. The Purity Badge is lost ❌ and these won’t work with GCV.
No way to cheat the system. To hold Pi with the Purity Badge ✅ you must:
* Create a Pi account
* Mine for at least 30 days
* Complete KYC
* Be part of the migration queue
Once migrated, your mined Pi will be officially moved to your Pi Browser wallet with the Purity Badge ✅. But if you transfer your Pi to any exchange, you lose the badge forever—even if you send it back.

Congrats to all loyal Pioneers.
Mainnet is almost here.
Mining will end soon.
Stay strong—your Pi will soon show its true value.
