As Pi Network nears its global open mainnet, a groundbreaking reality is surfacing: despite over 10 billion Pi coins in circulation, less than 1 million may qualify to function at GCV (Global Consensus Value). Why? The answer lies in the Purity Badge ✅—a marker that signifies whether your Pi is eligible for real-world value.
Any Pi coin that has ever been transferred to an exchange loses this badge permanently and cannot function under GCV. Only Pi mined, KYC-verified, migrated, and untouched by exchanges retain this rare status. Dr. Nicolas reminds us, “Every Pi is scarce and valuable,” while Dr. Chengdiao Fan boldly stated, “10 Pi is enough for a generation.”
When the mainnet launches, features like gas fee reduction, contract addresses, and real-time valuation on Pi Blockchain Explorer will go live. The Pi Browser wallet will split your balance into Contribution Balance (pure Pi) and Non-Contribution Balance (exchange-tainted Pi).
The future of Pi is closer than ever—but only those who followed the rules from the beginning will reap the full rewards.
