Quick Take

Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed.

Mainnet migration briefly restarts, processing 85,000 PI in Beijing-time window.
Circulating supply reaches 9.66 billion PI out of a 100 billion token cap.
Network protocols v20.2 mandatory upgrade deadline set for March 12, 2026.
Over 17.7 million Pioneers now KYC-verified ahead of final reward distribution.

The migration process on Pi Network briefly restarted on March 10 before stopping again. During this short window, the network transferred about 85,000 Pi coins to user wallets. The migration resumed around 3 PM Beijing time, according to community updates. But the process paused again after the transfers were completed.

This migration is part of Pi Network’s ongoing effort to move mined coins from its earlier system to the mainnet blockchain. The step is important because it allows users to access and eventually use their Pi coins on the open network. Millions of users are currently waiting for their balances to migrate. Because of this, every small update in the migration process draws strong attention from the community.

Migration Progress Remains Gradual

The recent transfer of 85,000 Pi coins shows that the migration process is still moving forward, although slowly. Blockchain explorer data shows many small transactions happening during the brief restart. These transfers help move mined coins into verified user wallets.

The latest data shows the Pi blockchain has about 9.66 billion Pi in its circulating supply. It is out of a maximum supply of 100 billion coins. The migration mainly affects users who have already completed KYC verification. So far, the project says more than 17 million users have completed identity checks. The team aims to migrate thousands of wallets each day as the process continues.

Users Warned About Scams

As migration activity increases, community members are warning users to stay careful. Some scammers are spreading fake links and phishing websites that claim to help with migration. These sites try to trick users into sharing their wallet recovery phrase. Security experts remind users never to share their private keys or mnemonic phrases with anyone.

Users are also advised to keep a small amount of Pi in their wallets. This is needed to cover transaction fees when moving coins on the network. Another tip shared by community members is to wait until all nine confirmation indicators appear before completing the migration process.

Development Work Continues

Meanwhile, development around Pi Network is also moving forward. Community observers recently noticed updates in the project’s open-source development tools. Reports suggest the team has enabled AI-assisted code review tools to help improve software updates. These tools can automatically review code and suggest improvements.

As a result, they may help developers fix bugs faster and improve the network’s stability. While some community members continue to speculate about the future launch of a Pi DEX. But no official announcement has confirmed a release date yet.

Community Watches Next Steps

For now, Pi Network users are closely watching the migration process. Even though the recent transfer was small. It shows that the system is still active. Each migration step helps move the project closer to a fully operational mainnet. But the pauses also remind users that the rollout is still happening gradually. Until larger migrations begin, many users will continue waiting for their coins to move to the main network.
