TLDR
- Pi Network has launched its second migration phase while maintaining access to the first migration for qualified participants.
- Two-factor authentication for wallets through Mainnet Checklist Step 3 has become mandatory prior to migration.
- Certain participants need to register a verified email address to finalize wallet 2FA configuration.
- The second migration phase incorporates referral mining rewards that depend on verified team member KYC status.
The Pi Network has initiated its second migration phase while maintaining the original migration pathway for qualified participants. This development enables token holders to transfer additional Pi to the Mainnet and engage in expanded network operations. The platform continues supporting the initial migration route for those who previously met eligibility requirements. These changes focus on Mainnet accessibility and user account preparation.
The platform has connected migration eligibility to wallet security protocols and authenticated referral records. According to Pi Network, two-factor authentication must be activated before any migration proceeds. The announcement also specified that referral mining rewards become transferable in second migrations once team participants successfully complete KYC verification. These guidelines now determine how participants prepare for Mainnet token transfers.
Phase two migration launches with staged deployment
According to Pi Network’s announcement, “second migrations have started and will continue with a gradual rollout.” The platform confirmed that initial migrations will proceed normally for those who qualify. This latest phase addresses remaining Pi token balances not previously transferred. It provides another opportunity for eligible participants to access Mainnet functionality. Pi Network stated the deployment increases opportunities for ecosystem engagement.
The announcement did not specify a uniform activation time across all user accounts. A phased deployment indicates that access will arrive in waves throughout the network. Participants awaiting their first migration can proceed with that existing pathway. Those satisfying the updated requirements may also prepare for subsequent second migration availability. This staged strategy maintains simultaneous operation of both migration channels.
Two-factor authentication becomes mandatory requirement
Migration eligibility now requires completing Pi Wallet 2FA setup within Mainnet Checklist Step 3. Certain accounts may additionally require a verified email address. This email serves as part of the security verification process before wallet access authorization. The checklist requirement now directly influences migration qualification. Participants lacking a verified email must register one before completing the setup process.
Pi Network explained that “2FA is enforced before migrations” due to the irreversible and immutable nature of blockchain transactions. After a transaction records on the blockchain, it becomes permanent and cannot be altered or undone. This additional verification layer aims to secure wallets before Pi tokens transfer to Mainnet. The requirement applies before any balance release to the wallet. It prioritizes account security over transaction speed.
Referral rewards now tied to verified team members
The second migration phase now incorporates referral mining rewards connected to Referral Team members who have successfully completed full KYC verification. Rewards associated with pending or unfinished verification processes remain ineligible for migration. Pi Network encouraged participants to prompt their referral teams to finalize KYC procedures. Completing this requirement can release bonus balances for future Mainnet transfer. This policy connects referral compensation to authenticated user accounts.
The announcement establishes a connection between referral incentives and validated team participation with regulatory compliance. It provides participants with clear motivation to address incomplete KYC submissions. Through combining referral verification with 2FA requirements, Pi Network has strengthened migration oversight. The platform included both requirements within a single migration announcement. This notice links platform access to both security measures and identity confirmation processes.
The initial migration pathway continues operating throughout the second phase rollout. This ensures qualified participants face no disruption from the new phase launch. Pi Network is maintaining parallel operation of both migration tracks. The organization characterized the deployment as progressive rather than instantaneous.
