🔒 Why Some Pioneers Can't Migrate Pi to Mainnet Even After KYC

Many Pioneers are celebrating the successful launch of Pi Network’s Open Mainnet, but some are frustrated to see that their Pi balance is still stuck under “transferable” status—even though they’ve already completed their KYC verification.

So, why can’t these Pioneers migrate their Pi to the Mainnet? Let’s break it down.

🧩 Understanding Transferable vs. Locked Balance

When you open your Pi app, your mined balance is divided into different categories:

• Transferable Balance: Eligible for migration to Mainnet
• Unverified Balance: Linked to unverified members of your earning team
• Locked Balance: Pi you've chosen to lock voluntarily for rewards

Even after KYC approval, your transferable balance may remain low or stuck due to a few key reasons.

❗ Key Reasons Why Migration is Delayed

1. ✅ Incomplete Earning Team Verification

Your mined Pi includes bonuses from your earning team. If some of those team members haven’t completed KYC, their portion remains unverified—and can't be included in your transferable balance yet.

2. ⏳ Delay in Migration Queue

After passing KYC, your account enters a migration queue. The Core Team is handling migrations in batches to ensure network stability and avoid spam. It may take days or even weeks before your transfer is processed.

3. 📲 App Version Not Updated

Make sure you're using the latest version of the Pi Network app. Outdated versions may show inaccurate balances or fail to sync with Mainnet updates.

4. 🛠️ Technical Glitches

Occasional bugs in the app or sync issues with the Pi wallet may delay the visibility of your transferable balance. Restarting the app or reinstalling may help.

✅ What Can You Do?

• Encourage your earning team to complete KYC
• Stay patient and wait for your batch migration
• Monitor official announcements from the Pi Core Team
• Don’t attempt to trade Pi on unofficial exchanges

🧠 Final Thoughts

If your Pi is stuck in transferable balance despite KYC, you're not alone. It’s part of a phased migration process designed to ensure long-term security and fairness. Trust the process—and soon you’ll be part of the full Pi Mainnet experience.
