As of today, I can confidently state that even with 10 billion Pi coins in circulation, fewer than 1 million of those are likely to operate at GCV (Global Consensus Value).
Why? Because a large portion of Pi coins has been transferred to exchanges, permanently losing their Purity Badge ✅.
Dr. Nicolas once emphasized:
> “Every Pi is scarce and valuable. Pioneers who stay committed until the end will accomplish great things in life!”
Similarly, Dr. Chengdiao Fan declared:
> “10 Pi is enough for a generation. Pi is unconventional!”
The End of Pi Mining is Near
Once the global open mainnet goes live, several changes will take effect:
Gas fees on the Pi Network will decrease.
Pi will have its own contract address on the blockchain.
Up to 300 computer nodes will be activated.
The Pi Browser will begin displaying real-time Pi value via the Pi Blockchain Explorer.
Your Pi wallet balance in the Pi Browser will show its equivalent value in USD.
Types of Available Balances in the Pi Browser Wallet
1. Contribution Balance
Pi that was mined and never sent to an exchange.
Retains the Purity Badge ✅.
Eligible to function at GCV.
2. Non-Contribution Balance
Pi that was transferred to an exchange at any point.
Permanently loses the Purity Badge ✅.
Not valid for use at GCV.
The System Cannot Be Cheated
To own Pi with a Purity Badge ✅, you must:
Create a Pi account
Mine for at least 30 days
Complete your KYC verification
Be part of the migration queue
Once your account is migrated, the Pi Core Team will transfer your mined Pi to your Pi Browser wallet — complete with the Purity Badge ✅.
However, if you send this Pi to an exchange, the badge is lost forever — even if you transfer it back.
