Pi Network has started the second phase of its mainnet migration. It is giving users a new chance to move more of their mined Pi coins to the blockchain. The update was announced on March 16. The rollout will happen slowly over time.
This step is important for the project. It allows users known as Pioneers to bring more of their balances to the mainnet and take part in the growing ecosystem. Concurrently, the first migration process will continue for users who are still eligible. But have not completed it yet.
Second Migration Opens New Access
With this new phase, users can now transfer additional Pi coins that were not included in earlier migrations. This includes rewards earned from referral teams. But only if those members have completed their KYC verification.
As a result, the Pi team is asking users to remind their friends and team members to complete KYC. This will help unlock more rewards during migration. Overall, the second migration gives users more control over their balances and helps expand activity on the mainnet.
2FA Required for Security
To take part in the migration, users must complete a key security step. They need to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on their Pi Wallet. This step is part of the Mainnet Checklist. That guides users through the migration process. In some cases, users may also need to add a trusted email address to their account before turning on 2FA.
The Pi team says this step is necessary. Blockchain transactions are permanent and irreversible. Specifically, once users move coins, the network cannot recover them if something goes wrong. So, adding extra security helps protect user funds.
Mixed Reactions From the Community
The update has created excitement among many Pi users. Some see it as a big step forward for the project. Many users are happy that they can finally move more of their Pi to the mainnet and use it in apps or future features.
However, the update does not satisfy everyone. Some users still wait for the system to complete their first migration. Others report that their KYC process remains pending after a long time. Consequently, the community offers a mixed response. While some celebrate progress, others are asking for faster updates and clearer timelines.
A Key Step for Pi’s Ecosystem
Despite the mixed reactions, the second migration is an important step for Pi Network. It builds on the project’s mainnet launch in 2025 and moves it closer to a fully active ecosystem. As more users complete migration, more Pi coins will become usable on the blockchain. This can help support apps, payments and other features in the future.
For now, the rollout will continue slowly. Users are expected to complete their checklist steps and wait for their turn. The next few weeks may be important as more Pioneers join the mainnet and the network continues to grow.
