Pi Network recently tumbled to a new all-time low, coinciding with the broader market decline. In the meantime, the project team and community members have recently announced several key updates and warnings. In the following sections, we will focus on the most important ones. Unblocking Millions of Users Pi Network has been criticized for several reasons over the past several months, and its complex and controversial know-your-customer (KYC) procedures are among them. Numerous users (known as Pioneers) have reported that they cannot complete the required verification process and migrate to the Mainnet. Earlier this week, the Core Team revealed that nearly 2.5 million people in certain regions will be unblocked by a new technical update, assuming they have passed the Mainnet checklist and are active in mining. “Over 700,000 additional accounts can also soon submit KYC applications! With these updates, more people are able to participate in the Mainnet ecosystem. Pi has reached 16 million Mainnet migrated Pioneers overall, distinguishing Pi as a massive identity-verified blockchain. Complete your KYC and Mainnet Checklist steps as needed to ensure your account is prepared for the next steps,” the announcement reads. The team further explained that the unblocking occurs in batches because different Pioneer groups face various issues. Each group requires a specific technical solution, and once deployed, the affected users will be unblocked. The Latest Scam Alert Recently, a community member using the X handle PiNetwork DEX warned Pioneers to remain vigilant against a possible fraudulent scheme. According to the alert, an impersonation scam targets Pi Network users, specifically those who are identity holders on the Mainnet checklist. “The Pi Network core team will never email you regarding wallet migration, nor will they ask for your passphrase. Like, share, and warn more people,” the message reads. Pi Price Outlook Pi Network’s native token has experienced a sharp decline over the past several months, and its condition has only worsened in the past few days. Recently, it plunged to a fresh all-time low of $0.15, whereas it currently trades at around $0.16, or a 7% drop on a weekly scale.

Data shows that more than 215 million PI will be freed up in the next 30 days, giving investors the opportunity to offload holdings they have been waiting to receive. The average daily unlock is almost 7.2 million tokens, while the record day is February 13, when 23 million coins will be released. Naturally, this isn’t guaranteed, but the “bullish unlocks” meme exists for a reason, and that reason is that unlocks are almost never bullish.
