Pi Network Surpasses 119K Second Mainnet Migrations
Pi Network surpassed 119,000 second Mainnet migrations, marking the first time referral bonuses have moved on-chain for verified Pioneers.
Quick Take
Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed.
Second migrations specifically unlock referral mining rewards, which were previously held off-chain due to complex KYC and computation requirements.
Referral bonuses only migrate if team members have passed KYC; unverified members’ contributions remain locked in the "untransferable" balance.
First-time migrations continue to run in parallel and remain the network's priority to ensure all new users reach the Mainnet.
The rollout coincides with a mandatory April 6 node upgrade to Protocol 21.2 to prepare for May’s smart contract support.
Pi Network has crossed a new milestone as more users move deeper into its mainnet system. The team confirmed that over 119,000 Pioneers have now completed their second migrations. This update comes after Pi Day 2026, when the network began rolling out second migrations in phases.
These migrations allow users to transfer additional Pi balances to the mainnet. It also includes referral bonuses, which many users have been waiting for. The rollout is still gradual. However, it shows steady progress as the project shifts from mining to real usage.
What Second Migrations Mean?
Second migrations are the next step after the first mainnet transfer. Users who have already moved their initial balance can now transfer extra Pi. This includes rewards earned from referrals. However, there is one condition. Referral team members must complete KYC verification. Without that, the bonus cannot be added.
Over 119,000 Pioneers have completed second migrations of their transferable balances so far, as the gradual rollout continues.

Because of this, many users are now encouraging their teams to finish KYC. This step directly affects how much Pi they can move. At the same time, the process is not simple. The system has to calculate rewards based on different mining sessions and user activity. So, the team took extra time to test everything carefully before rollout.
First Migrations Still Come First
Even with this progress, Pi Network is keeping its priorities clear. First migrations still come before second ones. This means users who have not moved their initial balance will not be affected. Their process continues as usual.
The network also confirmed that the second migration does not slow down the first phase. Both processes run side by side. But the first phase gets priority until it is fully completed. This approach aims to keep things fair. This process ensures that developers do not leave early-stage users behind while others move ahead.
Growing Utility Inside the Ecosystem
While Pi Network is slowly expanding its ecosystem. Users can now do more than just mine tokens. New tools like the Pi Launchpad and Pi App Studio are opening more use cases. Some apps already support mainnet features. This gives users ways to actually use their Pi instead of just holding it. Because of this, second migrations matter more now. They help move more tokens into active use. In simple terms, they push the network closer to a real economy.
Challenges and Community Reactions
Despite the progress, not everyone is happy. Some users are still stuck in the first migration stage. Others face delays in KYC approval. This has created mixed reactions in the community. While some celebrate the Pi Network’s milestone, others feel left behind.
Still, the latest update shows that the system is moving forward. The team is taking a slow and careful approach. In the long run, this may help avoid errors and keep the network stable. For now, the focus remains clear. Complete migrations, improve utility and bring more users fully on-chain.
