Pi Network, once celebrated as a revolutionary cryptocurrency project, is now facing intense criticism from its own community. Pioneers—the network’s early adopters—are voicing concerns over the difficult process of transferring their mined Pi Coins (PI) to the Mainnet before the looming March 14 deadline. The network has set 8:00 AM UTC as the final cutoff for Know Your Customer (KYC) verification and migration. Users who fail to meet this deadline risk losing the majority of their Pi holdings, except for those mined in the last six months. While the team introduced a Grace Period to ease the transition, many are still battling technical issues that prevent them from migrating their balances. “I have completed KYC and followed the Mainnet checklist, yet my balance remains unverified,” one user complained on social media. Another stated, “I’ve filed a support ticket weeks ago, but no response from the Pi Network team.” Crypto analysts have also weighed in, with many calling for an extension of the deadline until all technical glitches are resolved. Others have gone further, accusing the Pi Network team of being unresponsive and raising doubts about the project’s long-term viability.
