The #pi Network has officially extended the grace period deadline to 8:00 AM UTC on March 14, 2025, coinciding with the sixth anniversary of the project’s launch. This decision reflects Pi Network’s ongoing commitment to inclusivity, fairness, and maximizing participation within its ecosystem.
This extension marks the final opportunity for pioneers to complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification and migrate their mobile balances to the mainnet. The grace period, previously extended multiple times, was initially designed to ensure that as many genuine pioneers as possible could verify their balances. However, the end of this period is now deemed essential for the network’s progression and stability.

Why Extend the Grace Period One Last Time?
The extension serves several critical purposes, aligning with Pi Network’s mission to create an inclusive and accessible blockchain ecosystem. Key reasons for this final extension include:
1. Re-engaging Early Pioneers:
The launch of the open network has reignited interest in Pi Network. This extension offers a last chance for early pioneers—who may have become inactive—to complete their KYC and migrate their balances to the mainnet.
2. Promoting Inclusivity and Accessibility:
Pi Network’s goal has always been to provide a fair opportunity for all genuine pioneers to complete their KYC and transition to the mainnet. A successful migration process is fundamental to establishing a robust and thriving ecosystem.
3. Providing Remedies for Special Cases:
The extension addresses the needs of pioneers facing exceptional circumstances by offering additional time to complete the KYC and mainnet migration processes.
4. Ensuring Network Goals:
While inclusivity remains a core principle, concluding the grace period is necessary to advance Pi Network’s objectives. Moving forward requires resolving the issue of unverified and unclaimed mobile balances to maintain a credible, decentralized, and reliable blockchain network.

Implications of the Extension for Pioneers
The extension offers a final opportunity for all pioneers to complete the required steps and secure their mobile balances. Key points to consider include:
Complete KYC and Mainnet Transition:
Pioneers must submit their KYC requests and finish the mainnet checklist by 8:00 AM UTC on March 14, 2025.
Consequences of Inaction:
Failure to complete the KYC process or transition to the mainnet within the extended grace period will result in the loss of most mobile balances, except for Pi mined during the six months preceding the transition.
Final Extension Notice:
This is the last extension, aligning with the recent launch of the open network. Pioneers who have not yet migrated must act promptly to avoid losing their balances.

Next Steps for Pioneers
To complete the necessary steps during the grace period:
1. Access the Mainnet Checklist:
Click on the hamburger icon at the top left of the Pi app.
Select 'Mainnet' and then 'Mainnet Checklist' to proceed.
2. Inform Referral Team and Security Circle:
Pioneers should remind members of their referral team and security circle about the grace period requirements.
If these members fail to complete the mainnet checklist before the deadline, they will lose the additional mobile balance attributed to their contributions.

Conclusion: Act Now to Secure Your Pi
This final extension underscores Pi Network’s dedication to ensuring that every genuine pioneer has a fair chance to verify their balance and migrate to the mainnet. However, the deadline of 8:00 AM UTC on March 14, 2025 is final. Pioneers are urged to act immediately to secure their balances and support the long-term success of the Pi Network.
