Beware of fake Pi listings on various DEXs. It is important to note that Pi trading pairs currently listed on all DEXs are fraudulent and are likely to be part of a scam which results in loss to you. Pi Network strongly recommends that you refrain from participating in any current DEX trading pairs. If you choose to proceed, despite this warning, you run the risk of being defrauded, receiving fake Pi and losing your money. Please refer to the KYB’d services page on the Pi official website for verified businesses that integrate with Pi. We recommend that you only engage with businesses listed on this page. #VerifiedBusinesses" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">minepi.com/kyb-list/#Veri…

One day left before Open Network's launch at 8:00AM UTC on February 20, 2025! youtube.com/shorts/hIbfhu0… The transition to Open Network will enable external connectivity on the Mainnet blockchain, allowing Pi to interface with other compliant networks and systems. This means Pioneers will be able to engage in transactions beyond the Pi ecosystem, expanding Pi’s utility and reach.

There's less than three days before Open Network, which launches at 8:00AM UTC on February 20, 2025! What are you doing to prepare for Open Network, and how can you help build and grow Pi’s utility?

Reminder: The Grace Period requires both KYC and Mainnet migration to be completed by February 28, 2025, to avoid forfeiting most of your Pi other than Pi mined within the rolling window of the last 6 months before your Pi is migrated. minepi.com/blog/grace-per… Especially now that Open Network is around the corner, make sure to stay within the deadline!

Essential reminder as we get closer to Open Network: It is important for Pioneers to safeguard their Pi account and watch out for potential bad actors and activities, scams, and individuals impersonating others. Please be careful of unaffiliated and unauthorized activities, some of which may be associated with fraudulent events and actions meant to defraud our users by their misappropriation and unauthorized use of Pi’s name and trademark. Neither Pi Network, nor anyone affiliated with Pi Network, has any affiliation whatsoever with any parties organizing or engaging in such illegal or harmful activities to our users or the community. Any such activities which seek to charge users money or make false and misleading promises of monetary rewards or future profits, or MLM are unauthorized by Pi Network—Pi is free to mine and has never been for sale. Always refer to the official Pi Safety Center for official communications channels, official links to Pi apps and products, and other information on how to safeguard your Pi account and wallet. minepi.com/safety/

Learn more about the Grace Period extension of KYC and Mainnet migration deadlines to February 28, 2025—why we're extending, what Pioneers should do, and why the Period is important. Remember: the extension is independent of Open Network timing. minepi.com/blog/grace-per…

The KYC and Mainnet migration deadlines for the Grace Period have been extended to February 28, 2025, ensuring Pioneers have additional time and opportunity to secure their Pi. Read the full announcement to learn more about the extension and importance of the Grace Period. minepi.com/blog/grace-per… This extension operates independently of the Open Network launch timeline, meaning it is possible that Open Network could occur before or after the Grace Period ends, and upholds the Grace Period's core objectives of fairness and accessibility. Submit your KYC application and complete your Mainnet Checklist by February 28, 2025, to avoid any forfeiture.
