Pi Network has introduced a major AI upgrade to its Standard KYC system, making the verification process faster and more scalable. The new AI technology, adapted from Pi’s Fast Track KYC, now handles a larger part of the validation work, cutting the waiting queue of KYC applications by nearly half. This update helps reduce delays caused by validator shortages in certain regions and lowers the amount of information shown to human validators, improving both speed and privacy. While AI handles most routine checks, uncertain cases are still reviewed by human validators to maintain accuracy.
Supporting Mainnet Migration and Ecosystem Growth
The upgrade supports Pi’s broader vision of building a secure, identity-verified blockchain ecosystem. With millions of users depending on KYC to migrate to Mainnet, faster processing is crucial. So far, 17.5 million Pioneers have fully passed KYC, and 15.7 million have migrated. About 3 million Tentatively KYC’d users can still unblock themselves by completing the liveness check in the app.
Validator Rewards Distribution
The Core Team is also working on distributing validator rewards, a complex task due to the huge volume of data. The first distribution is expected by the end of Q1 2026.
Conclusion
Overall, the new AI integration makes Pi’s KYC system more efficient, consistent, and ready to support the next stages of Mainnet growth.
