This update is crucial for Pioneers who haven't migrated to Mainnet yet because it ensures the security of their Pi tokens and accounts. Here's why:
- *Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)*: Completing 2FA for your Pi Wallet is now a mandatory step in the Mainnet migration process. This adds an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorized access and protect your tokens.
- *Preventing Pi Returns*: If you don't complete 2FA within the 14-day pending period, your migrated Pi will be returned to your mining app. This is a security measure to ensure that only authorized users can access and manage their Pi wallets.
- *Smooth Migration*: Completing 2FA helps ensure a smooth transition to the Mainnet blockchain. Without it, your migration might be delayed or your tokens might be returned.
- *Account Security*: 2FA verifies the ownership of Pi Wallets, preventing potential scams and phishing attempts. Pioneers will only receive emails from “[email protected]”, so be cautious of other emails.
To complete 2FA, follow these steps¹ ²:
- *Set up a trusted email address*: You'll need to complete a liveness check to verify you're the account owner.
- *Confirm your migration wallet*: Receive prompts after mining sessions or via email notifications to complete 2FA.
- *Verify via email*: Finalize the confirmation process through the Mainnet Checklist in the app or via email.
By completing 2FA, you'll ensure the security and integrity of your Pi tokens during the Mainnet migration process.
- *Two-Factor Authentication*: This is an essential requirement for Mainnet migration to ensure the security and integrity of Pi tokens
- *Migration Progress*: Over 19 million Pioneers have completed KYC verification, and more than 10.14 million have migrated to Mainnet
The Pi Network team has been working diligently to meet the necessary conditions for the Open Network launch, including technical preparations, user verification, and ecosystem development. With the launch approaching, users are encouraged to complete their KYC verification and migrate to Mainnet to participate in the new era of decentralized finance.
