Why? Because many Pi holders sent their coins to exchanges, and by doing that, they lost the Purity Badge ✅ — permanently.
Dr. Nicolas (co-founder of Pi Network) once said:
> “Every Pi coin is rare and valuable. The ones who stick with Pi until the end will achieve great things.”
Dr. Chengdiao Fan (another co-founder) said:
> “Just 10 Pi is enough for a generation. Pi is unique and doesn't follow others.”

🔚 Pi Mining Will End Soon!
When the Global Open Mainnet launches, these things will happen:
Gas fees (transaction fees) will become lower.
Pi will have its own official contract address on the Pi Blockchain.
Around 300 computer nodes will be active to run the network.
Pi Browser will show the real-time value of Pi on the Blockchain Explorer.
In the Pi Browser wallet, your Pi balance will also show how much it’s worth in dollars.

🔎 Two Types of Pi Balances in Pi Wallet:
1. Contribution Balance ✅
This Pi is mined and never sent to any exchange.
It keeps the Purity Badge ✅.
Can be used at full GCV value.
2. Non-Contribution Balance ❌
This Pi has been transferred to a crypto exchange.
It loses the Purity Badge ✅ forever.
Cannot be used at GCV.
⚠️ Important: You can’t trick the system.
To keep the Purity Badge ✅, you must:
✅ Create a Pi account
✅ Mine Pi for at least 30 days
✅ Complete KYC verification
✅ Be in the migration queue
When your mined Pi is officially moved (migrated) to your Pi Browser wallet by the Pi Core Team, it will carry the Purity Badge ✅. But if you send it to an exchange (like Binance), you’ll lose that badge forever—even if you bring it back.

💡 What is Pi Network?
Pi Network is a digital currency platform built using blockchain technology.
