Recently, a few tweets have stirred up discussions in the Pi Network community, claiming that the grace period for KYC verification has been extended. Some users on Twitter suggested that the deadline has been pushed to March 14, 2025, allowing Pioneers extra time to complete their Mainnet Checklist. But is this information accurate?
What Are the Claims?
A Twitter account named Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis, with around 34K followers, tweeted:
> “Grace Period Extended! Good news, Pioneers! The Grace Period has been extended until March 14, 2025. You now have more time to complete your Mainnet Checklist and secure your Pi. Don’t wait—act now!”
He also shared an image reinforcing the claim.
Similarly, another Twitter user, Dr. Chengdiao Fan, with around 11K followers, posted:
> “BREAKING PI NEWS: The Pi Network Grace Period is now extended until Pi Day (March 14, 2025). Pi Day marks the true Open Mainnet launch!”
Accompanying his tweet was an image featuring a countdown of 14 days.
Is This Information True?
At first glance, this might seem like good news for users who have yet to complete their KYC. However, a report from The Crypto Times states otherwise. Their investigation confirms that the actual KYC deadline remains February 28, 2025. Official sources also align with this, emphasizing that users must complete their verification by the stated deadline.
For context, KYC (Know Your Customer) is a crucial verification process in Pi Network to ensure all users are genuine and not duplicate or bot accounts. Completing KYC is essential to accessing and transferring Pi on the Mainnet, which officially launched on February 20, 2025.
Even a quick Google search continues to show February 28, 2025, as the deadline, with no official announcements regarding an extension. This raises doubts about the authenticity of the viral tweets.
Final Verdict
The claim that Pi Network has extended its KYC grace period to March 14, 2025, is false. The official deadline remains February 28, 2025. Users should rely only on official sources and avoid believing unverified social media claims.
