Pi Network deploys KYC and Mainnet migration fixes unblocking 900,000+ users, including new palm-print verification and smartphone compatibility improvements.
Tech & Launches ·
Pi Network has released a major update addressing identity verification and Mainnet migration obstacles affecting over 900,000 users. The changes target two primary issues: 417,000 accounts previously flagged as duplicates that have been cleared to proceed with KYC after re-evaluation, and 497,000 users unable to access Mainnet balances due to insufficient Pi tokens in Fast-Track wallets to cover gas fees. The team plans to deploy a fix for the latter group within approximately one week.
Beyond clearing backlogs, the update introduces new identity verification methods. A month-long trial will test palm-print capture as an authentication option, offering an alternative to facial verification while preserving user privacy. Additional improvements include enhanced machine-learning systems to reduce KYC processing errors and expanded compatibility for liveness checks on older smartphones. The team is also addressing resubmission options for users affected by earlier Yoti verification failures or unsupported Indonesian identification documents.
The fixes represent a systematic approach to resolving edge cases in the migration process. However, the material does not specify which users will be prioritized for the near-term Mainnet wallet update or how quickly affected accounts can expect to regain access to their balances once the deployment completes.
