Pi Network has begun its second mainnet migration, and this time, referral bonuses are included. The network said that some pioneers have already received their updated balances, marking the first wave of the migration.
“Reports are coming in that several pioneers have already received their second migration — and yes, their referral bonuses are finally moving to the mainnet as well,” the team announced.
Migration moves Pi to the live blockchain
The migration moves users’ Pi balances from the testing system into the live blockchain network. For years, people earned Pi by mining it on the mobile app, but their tokens stayed inside the app and were not part of the real blockchain.
This second migration phase updates those balances and also moves referral rewards into users’ mainnet wallets. The process began in early March 2026, and some accounts have already received the updates.
Referral bonuses now on mainnet
Wallets are updating, and referral rewards are now showing in the mainnet accounts. Early batches moved tens of thousands of Pi tokens, and millions more could follow as more users complete the migration.
The phased rollout is designed to keep the network stable while large numbers of accounts shift to the blockchain. “The next phase of the Pi ecosystem is unfolding,” the team said, highlighting the significance of this migration step.
Meanwhile, users must complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification to have their balances migrated. This step helps prevent duplicate accounts and makes sure tokens are fairly given out.
Some users got only part of their balances, where only a portion of their balances appeared on the blockchain, while others are still waiting for verification. Despite these challenges, this migration is an important step toward making Pi a fully operational blockchain.
Preparing for real-world use
The referral bonuses are one of the most awaited parts of this phase. Many users earned extra Pi by inviting friends to join the network. Until now, these rewards were not part of the mainnet. Moving them into live wallets increases the number of tokens in circulation and gets the network ready for more activity.
The migration also prepares Pi Network for more real-world uses. As more accounts move to the mainnet, more Pi will be available for things like payments, online marketplaces, and decentralized apps.
