The Issue

We, the undersigned early pioneers of Pi Network, are calling on the Core Team (CT) to address the long-standing and unfair treatment of thousands of us who have been stuck in Tentative KYC status, many for over two years, despite fulfilling all requirements.

The Problem
Numerous pioneers, including those who joined as early as 2019, submitted their KYC applications as far back as March 2022. Despite undergoing multiple liveness checks, many remain in Tentative Approval with no clear reason or resolution.

Some were marked as “Passed” for a brief period in 2024, only to be reverted to Tentative without explanation. Many of us have not received a single additional liveness check since July 2024 or earlier, leaving us completely in the dark.

Meanwhile, new users who joined after Mainnet:

  • Complete KYC after just 30 mining sessions
  • Get approved and migrated in hours or days,
  • Even when they have no prior contribution to the early stages of the network.

The Injustice
This clear disparity in how KYC and Mainnet migration are being handled sends a damaging message to the very people who:

  • Mined Pi when no one believed in it
  • Invited friends and built strong referral networks
  • Stuck around through testing phases and bugs
  • Helped spread the word without expecting instant rewards

We are being excluded from Mainnet while others leap ahead — and the Core Team has remained silent, offering no timeline, update, or support path.

Our Requests to the Core Team
We are asking for the following:

  • Immediate review of Tentative KYC cases submitted before Mainnet launch
  • A public roadmap for resolving long-stuck KYC statuses
  • Equal and fair migration treatment for all pioneers — new and old
  • Respect for the efforts and patience of early adopters

 We Believed in Pi Before the World Did — Please Don’t Leave Us Behind.

If Pi is to stand as a decentralized, fair, and people-powered movement, the voices of its earliest supporters must not be silenced or sidelined. The credibility of the ecosystem depends on honoring the trust we gave it from the beginning.

Sign this petition and help us demand justice, fairness, and transparency for all early pioneers.
