Pi Network’s June 28 Upgrade Sparks Migration Mayhem – Can the Project Survive the Chaos?

Pi Network's long-awaited Mainnet migration hits turbulence just days before the June 28 deadline. The 'people's crypto' faces its biggest stress test yet as users report frozen wallets and transaction failures.

Migration headaches pile up

Community forums exploded this week with complaints about stuck KYC verifications and disappearing coin balances. The timing couldn't be worse – Pi's team promised this upgrade would finally deliver on years of 'mining' promises.

Make-or-break moment

With the clock ticking, developers scramble to fix backend issues while maintaining their trademark optimism. 'Temporary growing pains,' claims one moderator – though some early adopters aren't buying it after three years of IOUs.

Just another crypto promise?

The debacle hits as traditional finance snickers about 'another crypto project learning hard lessons about real-world deployment.' Whether Pi becomes a case study in community resilience or vaporware history depends on these next critical days.

Just as Pi Network users were gearing up for the next big migration on June 28, a storm of problems shook their confidence. From stuck KYC verifications and broken 2FA emails to disappearing wallet balances, things aren’t going as planned. 

While users wait to transfer their PI coins to the open network, many are now asking: Is the Pi system even ready?

KYC Problems Block Migration Progress

A major issue for thousands of Pioneers is the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification step. Many users who passed KYC months ago are experiencing problems again, with their migration status looping endlessly or displaying a “tentative approval” that prevents further progress. 

Even after clearing photo and document checks, the Pi system isn’t syncing properly, and support from the team has been mostly silent.

2FA Step Adds to Frustration

Another trouble point is the two-factor authentication (2FA) feature, which was added to make transfers safer. But instead of helping, it’s causing more headaches. Many users report never receiving the confirmation email or getting error messages when they click the link. 

In some cases, completing 2FA sends the tokens back to the mobile app, forcing users to start over.

Zero Balances After Migration Attempt

Even users who complete every step correctly are facing a surprising issue — their wallet shows zero balance. Some say the coins appeared briefly and then vanished. 

Others are watching their unlocked tokens disappear without ever reaching their mainnet wallet. This has led to anger and confusion, especially after years of waiting.

Bugs, Delays, and Broken Trust

The Pi Core Team says they are working on fixes, but there is still no clear timeline. They recommend updating the app, clearing the cache, and rechecking the steps. Meanwhile, scammers are targeting frustrated users with fake support messages. 

With the Pi native coin (Pi) price already down 75% from its peak, users are now hoping the June 28 migration doesn’t turn into another disappointment.
