Pi Network (also known as Pi Coin, π Coin) announced the integration of more AI technology into its standard KYC system to improve identity verification processing speed and scalability. This upgrade uses the same underlying AI technology as Pi FastPass KYC, reducing the KYC application queue waiting for manual verification by 50%, alleviating verifier bottlenecks, and shortening processing time.
AI technology upgrades KYC verification process
AI integration not only improves verification efficiency but also addresses the shortage of validators in certain countries and regions, helping more pioneering users complete mainnet migration faster. The system employs a conservative AI review strategy to prevent false positives; uncertain cases are still referred to human validators for further verification.
The upgraded KYC system reduces the need for manual verification while maintaining accuracy. The saved human resources can be reallocated to new opportunities, such as ecosystem development, AI model feedback, and reinforcement training products.
Updated KYC and migration statistics
According to the latest statistics from Pi Network, 17.5 million pioneer users have fully passed KYC verification, of which 15.7 million have successfully migrated to the mainnet. In addition, approximately 3 million users are still in temporary KYC status and need to complete a liveness detection within the application to obtain full verification eligibility.
The distribution of verifier rewards is underway.
Pi Network also announced that validator reward distribution is progressing, with the first reward distribution expected to be deployed by the end of the first quarter of 2026. This distribution plan requires processing hundreds of millions of validator task data accumulated since 2021, involving complex task type analysis, quality assessment, and fair allocation design.
Pi's Identity Authentication Blockchain and Ecosystem Vision
Pi Network states that its upgraded KYC solution aims to provide accurate, accessible, scalable, and privacy-focused authentication services to millions of users worldwide. The system may not only serve the Pi ecosystem but also support external Web3 and AI services requiring authentication, transforming the network's collective resources into platform-level utilities.
By integrating AI technology, Pi Network has developed a faster, more consistent, and more scalable authentication system, further supporting the authentication-centric Pi blockchain ecosystem.
