Pi Network is explicit that the duplicate-account resolution does not replace other applicable KYC requirements, meaning those 417,000 users must still clear whatever checks remain before their status is fully verified.<\/p>\n<p>This positive news dropped as PI crypto began the week with a +4.8% move over the past 24-hours. However, the token is still down 9% over the past seven days, so the bullish daily move is only the first step in reversing the token\u2019s fortunes. Even more worrying, PI is down -75% year-to-date.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<div class=\"chart crypto-chart-instance\">\n<div class=\"chart__header\">\n<div class=\"chart__info\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-icon\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-name\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-symbol\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<div class=\"chart__info-current\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-price\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-change\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-extra\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-label\">Market Cap<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-marketcap\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"chart__controls\">\n<div class=\"chart__controls-group\">\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--24h\">24h<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--7d\">7d<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--30d\">30d<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--1y\">1y<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--all-time\">All Time<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"chart__container\"><\/div>\n\n<h2>PI Crypto News: What Did the Fix Actually Change for the Stuck Users?<\/h2>\n<p>The first fix targets Pioneers whose accounts were caught in a duplicate-account review, one of several corner cases built into Pi\u2019s verification system to separate genuine users from bots and bad actors.<\/p>\n<p>After further evaluation, Pi Network determined the flagged accounts were not duplicates, clearing the way for those users to continue through KYC.<\/p>\n<p>The second fix addresses a more technical snag. Some Pioneers received their Mainnet wallet through Pi\u2019s Fast-Track process, which later doubled as the destination wallet for their Mainnet migration balance.<\/p>\n<p>Because those wallets were not created through the standard KYC-and-migration route, many lacked enough PI token in balance to cover the gas fee required to claim the migrated funds.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming update is designed to close that gap between the two KYC routes and prevent the same issue from recurring in future cases.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/goto\/kraken\" class=\"sc-button sc-button-green sc-button-medium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Discover 800+ Trading Pairs You Can Trust With Kraken<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Additional Fixes Layered Into the Same Update<\/h2>\n<p>Alongside the two headline fixes, Pi Network rolled out several smaller technical changes. The KYC app now manages system resources more efficiently during machine-learning-based video processing, which the team says should reduce errors that previously caused applications to stall.<\/p>\n<p>Pioneers who got stuck under the earlier Yoti verification process due to missing liveness-check data can now resubmit their applications, and liveness-check logic has been adjusted to work on older or lower-spec devices that previously failed the check.<\/p>\n<p>Pi is also running a one-month gradual trial of palm-print capture for some users required to complete multiple liveness checks, framed as an added layer of human-authenticity verification that does not require showing a face.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Indonesian users rejected for submitting a KIA identity document, which Pi no longer accepts for KYC, can resubmit using another supported ID.<\/p>\n<p>Pi Network completes last step towards Protocol v27 Launch<\/p>\n<p>Pi Network (<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PiCoreTeam?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@PiCoreTeam<\/a>) is moving to Protocol V27 on its Testnet 2 environment as it works toward a mainnet launch.<\/p>\n<p>The new protocol has stabilized at 250 transactions per block with no recorded failures, showing it\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zrZylCQNGj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/zrZylCQNGj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BSCN (@BSCNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BSCNews\/status\/2101995159822930327?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">September 21, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/visit\/kalshi\" class=\"sc-button sc-button-green sc-button-medium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Make Your Prediction With $25 Free on Kalshi<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Why Pi Handles Fixes in Batches<\/h2>\n<p>Pi Network\u2019s KYC and Mainnet migration system runs multiple layered checks meant to let genuine Pioneers through while filtering out bots, duplicate accounts, and policy violators.<\/p>\n<p>When a specific corner case blocks a group of users, Pi says it requires custom technical solutions that get developed, tested, and released before that batch can move forward, which is why unblocking tends to happen in waves rather than continuously.<\/p>\n<p>For readers tracking the network\u2019s broader roadmap, <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/presales\/pi-crypto-network-price-update-september\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent coverage of Pi Network\u2019s v27 protocol upgrade and Mainnet developments<\/a> offers additional context on where migration fits into the network\u2019s wider technical push.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/best-solana-meme-coins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Top Solana Meme Coins to Buy in 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/99bitcoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">99Bitcoins on X<\/a>\u00a0For the Latest Market Updates and\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@99Bitcoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Subscribe on YouTube<\/a>\u00a0For Daily Expert Market Analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/altcoins\/pi-crypto-network-kyc-fixes\/\">Pi Network Clears 417,000 KYC Flags as PI Crypto Price Surges +5%<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pi crypto Network says it has resolved two long-standing bottlenecks affecting more than 914,000 Pioneers stuck in its KYC (know-your-customer identity verification) and Mainnet migration pipeline, according to an official blog post the Pi Core Team published last Friday (September 18).
