Pi Network Users: KYC Drama Continues! Don’t Miss Out! đŸ˜±

TL;DR

  • Pi Network has once again decided to play with our emotions, pushing the KYC and mainnet migration deadline from February 28 to March 14. Cue the mixed reactions from the community! 🎭

  • If your name is a bit of a jumble, fear not! You can reapply. But if you’ve already tried and failed, well, good luck with that. 🙃

A New Deadline
 Again

Ah, the Pi Network! It made quite the splash on February 20 when it finally launched its Open Network. This momentous occasion came nearly six years after the project first graced our screens. Yes, folks, it’s been a long, winding road, and now the PI token is out there, mingling with the big boys on crypto exchanges. 🎉

But hold your horses! Despite this monumental achievement, Pi Network is still the subject of much debate. You see, many users are still stuck in the KYC limbo, unable to migrate to the mainnet. It’s like waiting for a bus that never arrives—frustrating, to say the least.

Initially, the team set February 28 as the deadline for users to complete their KYC and migrate. But, in a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, they’ve decided to extend this deadline to March 14. Because why not? ⏳

“This extension especially helps Pioneers who have recently returned and want to reengage with the network now that Open Network is live, upholding Pi’s core objectives of inclusivity and fairness. Submit your KYC application and complete your Mainnet Checklist by 8:00 am UTC on March 14, 2025, to avoid any forfeiture,” the announcement reads. Sounds simple enough, right? 😅

As you can imagine, such announcements tend to stir the pot. Some users are thrilled to have a little extra time to get their act together, while others are rolling their eyes and calling the whole thing a scam. It’s a classic case of “you can’t please everyone.”

Advice to Struggling Users

Earlier this year, the Pi Network developers decided to throw a lifeline to those floundering in the KYC process. They issued some sage advice for users whose Pi account name and KYC name don’t match. Spoiler alert: it’s not as easy as just changing your name to “John Doe.”

They explained that mismatched names usually lead to rejected applications. To fix this little hiccup, users can either resubmit their applications with the correct details or change their Pi account name—though that might cost them a chunk of their Mobile Balance. Because who doesn’t love a good penalty? 🙄

“Eligible Pioneers include those whose KYC applications were rejected due to name mismatches. However, Pioneers are eligible only if they have appealed exactly one time due to this rejection reason, and that single appeal was denied,” the team stated. So, if you’re keeping track, that’s one appeal and one rejection. Good luck! đŸ€ž

And if you’ve made a tiny typo while entering your phone number, rejoice! Pi Network now allows users to edit up to two digits. Because, let’s face it, who hasn’t accidentally typed in a wrong number? Just don’t get too carried away—this is to prevent any funny business like account transfers or hackers taking over your life. 😬

“Allowing only up to two digits to change is to make sure the phone number change will not be exploited by policy violators such as account transfers and sales or hackers taking over someone’s account,” the disclosure reads. Because, of course, we all know how much fun it is to be hacked. 🙈
