A considerable number of Pi Network’s users (referred to as Pioneers) have complained over the years, even before the product’s launch earlier in 2025, about the Know-Your-Customer (KYC) procedures, which sometimes took weeks and months.

The Core Team has made several improvements in the past several months, and the latest was announced on Friday.

AI Integration

Pi Network’s team has long dabbled with AI integrations, including in the Pi App Studio. Now, they have opted for the new tech revolution in the Standard KYC system by incorporating the same technology infrastructure that powers the Pi Fast Track KYC. The idea is to dramatically speed up identity verification, reduce bottlenecks, and support the next major wave of Mainnet migration.

The statement reads that this enhanced AI system has already cut the pending human-review queue by around 50%, making KYC faster, more scalable, and more accessible to the millions of claimed Pioneers worldwide.

The expanded AI validation layer improves the system in the following manner, said the team:

Reduces validator shortages in regions with limited human reviewers
Speeds up Mainnet-unlocking KYC for more Pioneers
Decreases the number of applications needing manual review
Further enhances privacy by reducing what human validators can see (sensitive data is already redacted)

The Core Team added that human validators will still be present despite the introduction of AI services. The system intentionally uses ‘very conservative AI checks’ to prevent false approvals, so any shady cases are routed to human reviewers for final analysis. The statement noted that this process should maintain accuracy while reducing the total labor required.

This saved human labor from KYC will be reallocated toward other areas in Pi’s ecosystem, such as human-feedback processes for AI training, app utilities, and emerging platform-level opportunities.

KYC Statistics

The team said that more than 17.5 million users have fully passed KYC, while 15.7 million have already migrated to the mainnet. Around three million Tentatively KYC’d Pioneers can now self-unblock by completing additional liveness checks.

They also advised all fully KYC’d users to finish the mainnet checklist, including wallet confirmation, 2FA setup, and signing the token-receipt terms.

“These millions of KYC’d Pioneers on the Pi Mainnet, with many more to join, are an important achievement of the collective efforts of the Pi community and a great resource of the network that not only help maintain the security and integrity of our network but serve as the foundation to nurture more real utilities in Web3 and AI industries that will shape our future,” finished the statement.
