TLDR:
- Pi Network has launched the second migration with a gradual rollout for Pioneers, bringing more Pi to Mainnet.
- Two-factor authentication via Mainnet Checklist Step 3 is now required before any Pi migration can begin.
- Blockchain transfers on Pi Network are irreversible, making 2FA enforcement critical for all wallet security.
- Referral mining bonuses will only migrate if referral team members have fully completed the KYC process.
Pi Network has officially announced that the second migrations have begun for Pioneers on Mainnet. The gradual rollout allows users to bring additional Pi to the network.
First migrations for eligible Pioneers continue as normal during this period. To qualify, Pioneers must set up 2FA through the Mainnet Checklist Step 3. This requirement protects wallet security for all participating users.
Two-Factor Authentication Required Before Migration Can Begin
Pi Network has made two-factor authentication (2FA) a strict requirement for all Pioneers seeking migration eligibility. Step 3 of the Mainnet Checklist must be completed before any migration can proceed.
For some users, this step also requires adding a trusted email address to their Pi account. The 2FA setup ensures that only verified account owners can initiate the process.
The enforcement of 2FA comes directly from the permanent nature of blockchain transactions. Any transfer completed on the blockchain cannot be reversed or corrected after it is made.
Pi Network introduced this requirement to protect Pioneers from unauthorized access and accidental errors. Wallet security is treated as a top priority across the migration process.
The Pi Core Team shared the update via social media, confirming that the second migrations have started and will follow a gradual rollout. The announcement noted that this opens the door for pioneers to bring more Pi to Mainnet.
Pioneers can also further participate in the broader ecosystem through this migration opportunity. First migrations for eligible Pioneers remain active and will not be disrupted by this development.
Referral Mining Bonuses Now Part of Second Migration Rollout
Pi Network’s second migrations will also carry referral mining bonuses for qualifying Pioneers. These bonuses are linked specifically to referral team members who have fully completed the KYC process.
Pioneers are being reminded to urge their teams to complete KYC before the relevant deadlines.
Without full KYC completion from Referral Team members, the associated referral bonuses cannot be migrated. This means the total amount of Pi a pioneer migrates may depend on their referral network’s actions. It is a shared responsibility that extends across the entire team structure within Pi Network.
The Pi Core Team confirmed that referral bonuses from KYC-verified referral team members will be included in the second migration.
Pioneers who stay in regular contact with their teams are more likely to benefit from these bonuses. Completing KYC early gives both Pioneers and their teams a better chance of maximizing their Mainnet migration.
