Pi Network has rolled out a new Self-Unblock KYC tool, giving suspended users a direct way to resolve their verification issues without waiting for manual review. The feature targets Pioneers whose KYC checks were stuck due to incomplete steps or flagged documentation, allowing them to complete missing verification details, confirm their information, and submit an unblock request entirely within the app. The goal is to reduce delays and accelerate Mainnet migration, especially for users who have waited months to regain access.
Alongside the self-unblock tool, Pi Network confirmed a major upgrade to its Standard KYC system. AI technology—previously exclusive to Fast Track KYC—has now been integrated into the main verification flow. This improvement cut the KYC review queue by 50% almost immediately. The AI system is designed to be conservative, forwarding uncertain cases to human validators to maintain accuracy and avoid incorrect approvals. This upgrade helps alleviate validator shortages, boosts processing speed, and reduces human exposure to sensitive user data, strengthening privacy protection.
The network also launched Testnet2 with new smart contract support, Linux compatibility, and expanded open-network tools. This upgrade enhances developer capabilities, allowing them to test real utilities and prepare dApps for the upcoming Open Mainnet phase. With more than 100 Mainnet-ready applications already in development, Testnet2 signals that Pi’s infrastructure is maturing and shifting toward full-scale execution.
Current network metrics highlight Pi’s rapid growth:
• 17.5 million users have fully passed KYC
• 15.7 million have migrated to Mainnet
• About 3 million tentatively verified users still need to complete liveness checks
These numbers position Pi Network as one of Web3’s largest verified user bases. The new self-unblock tool aims to clear the remaining bottleneck, potentially accelerating migration even further. Together, the AI-powered KYC upgrade and Testnet2 integration show Pi’s commitment to scaling identity, improving verification speed, and enabling real utility development. For a project often criticized for slow progress, these updates represent meaningful forward momentum.
