The new update on the Pi Network app
The Pi Network faces criticism for the August 2 announcement of freezing users' coins in exchange for improving mining speeds. This has sparked angry reactions on social media platforms, especially on platform X. The locking feature allows users to lock PI before or after migrating to the main network. Locking operations after migration through the Pi Wallet provide a mining boost of up to 200% and are applied directly to Pi, which is already on-chain.
