Urgent Advisory: How to Resolve Name Discrepancies in the Pi Mining App

Ensuring accurate identity verification is a critical step in Pi Network’s journey toward Open Mainnet. However, many Pioneers have encountered name discrepancies between their Pi accounts and their official government-issued identification, potentially delaying their Know Your Customer (KYC) approval.

To address this, Pi Network has introduced an appeal feature, allowing users to correct name mismatches and complete their KYC verification efficiently.

How to Submit a Name Correction Appeal

If you have discovered that your name in the Pi Network app does not match your government-issued ID, you can submit an appeal by following these steps:

1. Open the Pi Network mining app
2. Navigate to the KYC section
3. Select the "Appeal" option
4. Complete the appeal submission form and submit your request

This feature provides an opportunity to align your registered name with official documents, ensuring a smoother KYC verification process.

What Happens If Your Appeal Was Previously Rejected?

For Pioneers who have already submitted a name correction appeal and had their request denied, Pi Network has introduced a new policy. A second appeal will now require forfeiting 20% of your mined Pi balance as a penalty.

While this may seem like a tough decision, it is a necessary measure to maintain the integrity of Pi Network’s identity verification process. This step will:

• Ensure your name is correctly updated to match your official ID
• Expedite the KYC approval process
• Allow you to fully participate in the Mainnet migration

This adjustment underscores Pi Network’s commitment to ensuring that only legitimate users pass through KYC and gain access to the growing ecosystem.

Why Is KYC So Important?

The KYC process is fundamental to the success of Pi Network’s decentralized vision. Only accounts that have successfully passed KYC will be eligible to migrate their mined Pi to Mainnet and participate in the real-world applications of Pi cryptocurrency.

If a user’s name is not correctly verified, it may lead to a KYC rejection or prolonged delays in account verification, potentially limiting their ability to use Pi in the broader ecosystem.

A Second Chance for Pioneers

By introducing this appeal feature, Pi Network provides a second chance for users to correct any errors and secure their place in the next phase of Pi’s development. However, users must act responsibly and ensure their account details align with their official identification.

With Open Mainnet on the horizon, now is the time for every Pioneer to take action. Check your KYC status, verify your details, and complete any necessary appeals. Do not let a minor technical issue prevent you from being part of Pi Network’s historic transition into a fully operational blockchain ecosystem.
