Pi Network Releases Mainnet Migration Roadmap, But Leaves Supporters Waiting for a Timeline
Pi Network has officially unveiled its long-awaited Mainnet Migration Roadmap, outlining a multi-phase plan to transition millions of users—known as Pioneers—to the open network. The roadmap also introduces new incentives such as referral bonuses for KYC-verified users. However, the announcement comes with a notable omission: no specific dates or timelines have been provided, leaving many early adopters frustrated and confused.
Migration Plan Outlined in Three Phases
According to the roadmap, the migration process will roll out in three primary phases:
1. Initial Migration Phase: This stage covers the transfer of confirmed mining rewards, security circle bonuses, lockup incentives, app usage bonuses, and selected Node rewards.
2. Referral Rewards Phase: Referral mining rewards will be processed, but only for users whose referrals have completed KYC verification. This phase will begin once the current migration queue is cleared.
3. Ongoing Periodic Migrations: Pi Network plans to initiate continuous migrations, potentially on a monthly or quarterly basis. Yet again, no exact timeline has been provided.
Concerns Over Lack of Clarity and Transparency
The absence of detailed scheduling has sparked concern across the community. Reports indicate that while some Node operators have received rewards, it’s unclear why or to whom those payments were made. Many fear that early contributors may be overlooked without clear criteria or dispute resolution mechanisms.
Additionally, users who have consistently engaged with the platform by clicking the daily “claim” button are puzzled by the absence of visible coin allocations. Questions about when base mining rewards and referral bonuses will appear remain unanswered.
User Interface and Trust Issues
The roadmap admits that the "Transferable Balance" shown in the app might be lower than a user’s actual holdings. This cost-saving design choice has left many fearing that their true balances are either hidden or delayed, raising trust concerns.
Moreover, there’s no official process for correcting errors in mining records—an oversight that could lead to disputes, especially after six years of activity. The roadmap provides no guidance on how such conflicts will be resolved.
Community Calls for Transparency
Although the roadmap provides structure, the vagueness around migration capacity and user backlog has left Pioneers seeking answers. Some have openly questioned whether Pi Network ever operated a functional blockchain. One community member noted that if all tokens were minted at Genesis, it contradicts the idea of mining over several years.
Further confusion arises around the roughly 108.9 million PI tokens unlocked this month, with no clarification on how these will be distributed alongside migration phases.
As questions grow, so does the community’s demand for transparency. Many are urging the Pi Network team to provide clear timelines, technical proof of blockchain functionality, and a way to verify or dispute migration details.
