Pi Network Expands Second Migrations and Referral Bonuses

Pi Network is slowly rolling out its second phase of Mainnet migrations. This update comes after Pi Day 2026 and brings new opportunities for users, also called Pioneers. Now, users who have already moved their Pi once can transfer more of their balance. 

Since Pi Day 2026, Pi Network has continued its gradual rollout of second migrations and referral mining bonuses.

This opens the door for Pioneers to bring additional Pi to Mainnet and further participate in the ecosystem. Note that first migrations still take priority for the…

This includes extra rewards earned over time. The update helps users take a bigger part in the growing Pi ecosystem. So far, over 119,000 users have completed this second migration. The rollout is still gradual, which means not everyone gets access at the same time.

Second Migrations Unlock More Rewards

The second migration is important because it includes referral bonuses. These rewards come from people in a user’s referral team. However, there is a condition. Referral team members must complete KYC verification. Without this step, the bonus cannot be transferred. Because of this, many users are now asking their teams to finish KYC. It directly affects how much Pi they can move to Mainnet.

At the same time, calculating these rewards is not simple. Each user has different mining sessions and referral activity. So, the system needs to check everything carefully before moving balances. This is why the rollout is slow and controlled. The team wants to make sure all rewards are correct and fair.

First Migrations Still Come First

Even with this update, Pi Network is still focused on the first migrations. These are for users who have not yet moved their Pi to Mainnet. The team has made it clear that the first migrations are the top priority. Second migrations will not slow them down.

This means that others moving their second balance does not affect new users. Both processes run together but with clear priority. This approach keeps things balanced and ensures that developers complete early steps before moving ahead fully.

Security Steps Remain Important

Before any migration, users must complete a key step. They need to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on their Pi Wallet. This is part of the Mainnet checklist. It helps protect accounts before funds are moved.

Blockchain networks cannot reverse transactions. Consequently, once a user sends Pi to a wallet, the system cannot undo the transfer. Because of this, the network adds extra security steps. Users may also need to link a trusted email to finish setup. These steps may feel slow, but they help prevent mistakes and protect funds.

Growing Use Cases for Pi

At the same time, Pi Network is building more ways to use its token. Developers are introducing new tools and apps. For example, the Pi Launchpad is now live on Testnet. It allows projects to launch tokens and build apps inside the ecosystem.

There are also updates to Pi App Studio and other features. These changes aim to give Pi real-world use, not just holding or mining. Looking ahead, Pi Network plans to continue migrations in cycles. Once the current queue is cleared, regular migrations may begin. For now, the focus remains on steady growth. Step by step, the network is trying to move from mining to real utility.
