City, Country – As Pi Network dey prepare for dia next mainnet migration wave wey go happen for June 28, 2025, users dey report wahala wey fit spoil the whole thing. Dem don design dis migration to carry tokens from mobile app go mainnet, but e dey hit major snags.
Thousands of users don dey complain say dem dey face Know Your Customer (KYC) issues, two-factor authorization (2FA) problems, and wallet balance errors, even after dem don follow every step wey dem suppose follow. Na dis moment many pi-naira don dey wait for long time to see dia Pi coins land for open network. But na wetin? E no dey easy as dem dey expect.
People don dey shout for everywhere — Reddit, YouTube, X — about how dia wallets dey stuck for pending, balances don disappear, and Pi coins no dey show. E no be small wahala, as some users sabi correctly follow the migration checklist only to see dem progress reset without any warning (no be wetin dem expect).
The support from Pi Network dey hardly show face, and this one dey make matter even worse. Users dey vex say “how far?” for support, but nothing dey happen. KYC dey wahala, and e no clear wetin be the solution (so we dey wonder wetin dem dey do for back end). Did you know? Pi dey use fork of Stellar’s SCP, and dem go eventually transition go improved-proof-of-stake ehn. But dat one go fit wait till decentralized nodes dey operational.
For 2019, Pi Network don allow users to “mine” dia cryptocurrency through mobile app. Millions don gather Pi tokens without any stress. The mainnet don officially launch for 2025 to position itself as a mobile app for mass-adoption. But after the Horizon upgrade wey happen for May 2025, na different matter wey come start, because dem bring core blockchain functionalities: validator-based consensus and $100-million ecosystem fund.
To migrate Pi tokens go mainnet, users need to follow five-step Mainnet Checklist. Newly migrated tokens dey hold for 14 days to stabilize the network before e fit access. Although dem give grace period till March 14, 2025, many users dey only now dey complete the checklist while bugs dey hold dem. Wetin be this? Users dey frustrated with KYC step wey no gree pass. Dem don pass KYC long ago, yet dem dey stuck. Wallet dey show zero balance, migration dey loop, and tokens no dey come out from the app.
Some users don dey see “tentative approval” for their KYC field, meaning say the system don recognize dem but nah so e go be — no clear path to migration. One user don vex shout, “Give me the damn $Pi. I don work hard for six years… Why this constant delay?” Na true talk. While official support dey blame poor photo quality, many complaints don dey come from users wey don pass those hurdles already.
Another wahala wey dey bring plenty complaint na the 2FA issue. Dem roll out 2FA for March 2025 to secure account through email confirmation, but many users no dey receive the email (na wah). Some dey report say once dem try finish 2FA, di migration dey reset, and tokens dey go back to mobile app. One Reddit user don complain, “My Pi return back to the app, I don enter di email addy twice but nothing change.” E no be joke like dis o.
For dem wey don complete everything — KYC, mainnet checklist, and confirm 2FA — dem still dey see dem balance dey zero when dem open dia wallets. Some users report say dia balance show for small time before e vanish like magic. “My balance today go zero, nothing carry over to my wallet,” one user talk. “Same here buddy,” another one don reply. Na so dem dey share their sorrows.
While Pi Core Team never give any clear explanation of di matter, community developers dey speculate say di wahala fit come from backend sync errors, UI delays or manual steps wey people miss like transferring tokens. The price of Pi coin don dey fall, with 4%-5% drop this June, now trading at $0.60-$0.64. That drop show say trust don dey shaky, especially with one wallet wey dey hold 276 million Pi tokens — users dey wonder if insider liquidity management dey happen.
Scammers dey also dey catch the moment — with coins missing, fake support agents don start to target users wey dey confused. Dem dey distribute fake migration forms and “KYC reset” services wey fit collect credentials and tokens unnecessarily. Did you know? The core team dey hold 100 billion PI in genesis wallets and 20 billion tokens divided across 20,000 wallets without any lock-up info wey dey public?
As pressure dey rise, Pi Core Team don start to give updates for dia channels, including app notifications, about di KYC verification, 2FA errors, and wallet sync problems. Dem dey work on fixing di tech issues but still don dey remind users to make sure say all prerequisites dey correct.
One beta test for Chinese users don dey unfold, where users dey watch a compliance video during login to help resolve some issues. E seem say this beta don help plenty folks unstick frozen balances and pending 2FA problems. But e still dey clear say no roadmap or timeline dey published for full resolution. And as tokens dey unlock, the community dey wonder when Pi coins go finally transfer. Did you know? Over 100 Pi-based apps don develop for closed mainnet, but few don launch for public ready for mass-adoption.
As June 28 mainnet migration wave dey come closer, Pi Network dey face high-stakes test. Dis migration dey expect plenty action, but nathing go jolly if balances dey keep disappearing and wallets dey broken. Di trust issue don turn urgent as di tech issue. The credibility wey Pi Network don build dey hinge on di reliability of di Pi coin migration and how de wallets dey operate properly. Di burden don rest for Pi Core Team to fix dis issues. If dem fit resolve KYC, 2FA, and wallet syncs before di deadline, Pi Network fit still deliver on di promises wey dem don make.
