PI Network Deploys AI to Turbocharge Mainnet KYC Process
PI Network just dropped an AI-powered hammer on its KYC bottlenecks—and Mainnet users are feeling the velocity.
No more waiting weeks for manual verification. The system now scans documents, cross-references data, and greenlights users in minutes instead of months. It's like swapping dial-up for fiber optic in identity verification.
Behind the Scenes: How AI Gets It Done
Machine learning algorithms chew through paperwork—passports, IDs, proof of address—spitting out verified accounts before you finish your coffee. Facial recognition tech adds another layer, matching selfies to document photos with scary accuracy.
The Ironic Twist
Meanwhile, traditional finance still requires notarized letters from your grandmother and a blood sample—just to open a savings account. Some things never change.
Bottom line: PI's move could finally unlock Mainnet's full potential—or give us all one more reason to question why KYC still exists in a decentralized world.
Pi Network launches fast wallet activation without migration
The new feature opens doors for Pioneers with fewer than 30 mining sessions to submit identity verification and activate a Mainnet wallet. Non-users can also apply if eligible, and if selected, the option will appear directly in the Pi Wallet app, where verification and wallet activation will be instantaneously available.
Once verified, users can begin using the Mainnet wallet together with Pi applications, local commerce, and community events. However, the new process does not yet allow migration of mined balances. Transfers are still restricted until applicants meet the 30-session threshold and complete the full Mainnet Checklist, which includes the standard KYC process.
The CORE Team also wrote that Fast Track KYC is “a native solution within the Pi ecosystem” that reduces reliance on third-party providers. They added that Banxa, an onboarding service on the ecosystem, is “no longer the only available path.”
“Fast Track KYC does not guarantee fast passing and does not compromise the quality of KYC acceptances,” the blog read. The team added that rejections will occur if applications fail to meet the same requirements as regular verification.
Standard verification counts 14.82 million pioneers
Pi reported that more than 14.82 million people have already migrated with verified KYC status to its Mainnet blockchain. The project doubled down on its commitment to compliance and verification, noting that its approach is in tandem with industry standard ERC-3643, which incorporates identity and compliance logic directly into public network tokens.
“Identity verification via KYC is important for the integrity of the network, compliance, and readiness for integrations,” the Pi team stated.
Alongside the Fast Track KYC launch, Pi confirmed a policy expansion for users in Syria following the termination of the US government’s Syria Sanctions Program in late June, through Presidential Executive Order 14312.
Consistent with the change and with applicable laws and regulations, Pi KYC services are now available to eligible individuals located in Syria.
Pi coin down 0.5% after Fast KYC announcement
The launch of Fast Track KYC gave Pi Coin a modest gain in market value, which saw it rise 0.42% to enjoy a brief tenure above $0.3620, but after a price correction on the negative side, the token fell 0.54% to change hands at $0.3565 at the time of this publication.
A new Fast Track KYC feature, built using more AI in the KYC flow, now allows new Pioneers to activate a Mainnet wallet even before completing 30 mining sessions. https://t.co/pnbnWPX4cm
This means earlier access to Pi apps and ecosystem—without waiting for standard KYC process…
