Pi Day 2024 marks the 5th official anniversary of the network and comes at a pivotal time when we’re preparing for Open Network.
Today we’re proud to be announcing new products and exploring how our collective work is building out Pi Network’s ecosystem vision. We’ll also share the network progress—such as in KYC, migration, Pi Node, ecosystem infrastructure and programs—towards the Open Network conditions laid out in the Open Network plan released on December 27, 2023, including a new Race to 10 million KYC event where you can share your KYC success to encourage more community efforts in achieving the Open Network milestones and help other Pioneers get KYC’ed! 

Ultimately, we know that creating a strong ecosystem that supports and works for our community and the world is essential. To meet this end, Pi has been nurturing an identity-verified and inclusive Web3 ecosystem designed to be user-friendly and accessible with abundant apps and utilities for Pioneers and more to engage with. Before Open Network, we, the community as a whole, need to provide the utilities that Pioneers need in the ecosystem and make it engaging and useful for non-Pioneers as well, and we’re proud to share that we’re making progress in those fields aligned with our timelines.
For just one example of how these utilities strengthen the network, we can highlight the now completed Pi Browser – PiNet loop: the Pi Browser, as the interface of the Pi ecosystem and utilities, is opened up by PiNet to the external world where non Pioneers are able to view and interact with Pi apps, and potentially join the network as new Pioneers. With new products released this week, this completed user journey loop can help 1) open up the Pi ecosystem to the outside world, gradually moving from an enclosed state to an open state starting from the utilities aspect, 2) grow the network further, increasing our collective resources that can boost all Open Network milestones laid out in the Open Network plan, and 3) further reinforce utility creation and ecosystem building at Pi by providing utility-based entry in addition to our traditional mining-based entry into the network.  
Specifically, to complete the Pi Browser – PiNet loop, we released important products recently that allow seamless user experience of the Pi ecosystem that starts from seeing a specific Pi app page shared by Pioneers via PiNet (new PiNet user journey released), be it a hilarious post or a useful service; to visiting and interacting with that Pi app on pages without login via PiNet (Pi Ad Network released to facilitate Pi app developers to build more intriguing and useful apps), then to taking actions that require Pi Browser (new Pi Browser released recently) such as for using Pi Wallet or Pi KYC; and later to mining and contributing to the network. While mining, more Pi ecosystem content will be visible in the mining app (new content feed released in mining app piloting Fireside Forum content first) that can spur Pioneers to share again through PiNet, completing and repeating the loop. The completed Pi Browser – PiNet loop is designed to provide utility, access, and ease for the community––which, in turn, will promote more activities, more Pioneers, more collective resources and more utilities. 

P2P (Peer-to-Peer) Scams on Binance

1. Fake Sellers/Buyers: Scammers pose as sellers or buyers on Binance's peer-to-peer trading platform. They may initiate trades with users, claiming to offer attractive rates for buying or selling cryptocurrencies. However, once the trade is initiated, they may disappear without completing the transaction or providing the agreed-upon funds.

2. Impersonation: Scammers impersonate legitimate sellers or buyers by using similar usernames or profile pictures. They may deceive users into thinking they are dealing with a trusted party, only to disappear after the trade is initiated.

3. Payment Fraud: Some scammers manipulate the payment process by providing false payment confirmations or using reversible payment methods. For example, they may claim to have sent a bank transfer or payment via digital wallets, but the transaction is either fake or reversible. By the time the victim realizes, the scammer has already received the cryptocurrency without paying for it.

4. Account Takeover: Scammers may compromise legitimate Binance accounts and use them to initiate trades on the peer-to-peer platform. They may then trick users into sending funds to their own wallets, posing as the account owner.

5. Chargeback Fraud: In some cases, scammers may use payment methods that allow chargebacks, such as bank transfers or certain digital wallets. After receiving the cryptocurrency, they initiate a chargeback, reversing the payment and leaving the seller with no funds and no way to recover the lost cryptocurrency.

### Tips to Avoid P2P Scams:

1. Verify the Counterparty: Always verify the identity and reputation of the counterparty before initiating a trade. Check their trading history, feedback ratings, and verify their profile details.

2. Use Secure Payment Methods: Prefer using payment methods that are irreversible, such as bank transfers (with appropriate precautions) or cryptocurrencies. Avoid payment methods that allow chargebacks whenever possible.

3. Double-Check Payment Confirmations: Verify payment confirmations independently, especially for bank transfers or digital wallet payments. Don't rely solely on messages from the counterparty.

4. Use Binance's Escrow Service: When trading on Binance's peer-to-peer platform, use the built-in escrow service provided by Binance. This ensures that the cryptocurrency is released only when the payment is confirmed, reducing the risk of fraud.

5. Stay Alert for Red Flags: Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true, urgent requests for payment, or suspicious behavior from the counterparty. Trust your instincts and avoid transactions that make you feel uncomfortable.

By staying vigilant and following these tips, users can reduce the risk of falling victim to P2P scams on Binance's platform.

A Time to Unite: The Binance Ramadan Calendar

Giving back is at the heart of Ramadan, and on Day 6 of the Binance Ramadan Calendar, we’re amplifying that spirit with the Binance Charity Campaign and the Good Deed Challenge. But this is just one part of a wider ten-day journey designed to bring the community together through rewards, challenges, and acts of generosity.

Running until March 9, our Ramadan Calendar unlocks a new activity each day. Alongside daily surprises, users can take part in ongoing initiatives like the Red Packet Giveaway, offering daily crypto rewards, and the Ramadan Button Game, where participants can win 20 BNB. Community engagement is also at the core, with Ramadan Riddles running across Binance’s social channels, offering 30K USDC. 

Throughout the campaign, users can participate in challenges, giveaways, and special promotions designed to celebrate the spirit of Ramadan. From rewards to giving, the Ramadan Calendar is an opportunity to unite, contribute, and celebrate the season.

Final Thoughts

This Ramadan, Binance is proud to stand with our community in the spirit of togetherness. Through the Binance Charity Campaign, and Emirates Red Crescent, we aim to support families and individuals in need across multiple regions, ensuring that no one is left behind during this sacred month. With the Good Deed Challenge, we’re empowering our global community to take action, contribute ideas, and bring meaningful change to the lives of others.

Ramadan is more than a time of fasting; it’s a time to uplift one another, to share what we have, and to come together as a global community. As we move forward, we invite you to be part of this mission — whether by participating in our daily activities, sharing acts of kindness, or simply spreading the message of giving.

Let’s make this Ramadan a time to unite.

The Pi Network Mainnet launch has been one of the most talked-about events in the cryptocurrency space. It has sparked excitement, speculation, and debate among pioneers and the wider crypto community. With most users already migrating to the Mainnet, the network is now entering a critical phase.

In a final move, the Pi Network team has extended the grace period for migration until March 14, 2025, at 8:00 AM UTC. This is the last chance for pioneers to complete their transition – after this, there will be no more extensions.

What does this mean for Pi holders? Why was the deadline extended again? And what happens if you miss it? Here’s everything you need to know.

Final Extension – No More Deadline Changes
The grace period for Pi Network’s Mainnet migration will end in just four days. While the team has extended the deadline multiple times before, they have confirmed that this will be the last extension. This means pioneers who miss this window will not get another opportunity to complete their migration.
