Pi Network reports over 18 million verified users as Mainnet migrations resume and new blockchain accounts are activated.
Pi Network says over 18 million identity-verified users now stand at the center of its growth story.
The project argues that verified users offer a better measure than account totals alone. It says real economies need known participants, especially when value moves between people.
The message comes as Mainnet migrations resume and on-chain activity starts to increase again.
Pi Network puts Verified Users Ahead of Account Totals
Pi Network says many crypto platforms still measure progress by total accounts. However, the project says that figure can be misleading at times.
Some accounts may stay inactive, and others may never complete verification. Because of that, Pi points to over 18 million verified users as a better benchmark.
The network says identity checks were treated as a core part of development early on. It argues that unverified account growth is not enough for real use.
Instead, it says verified users create a stronger base for trusted activity. As a result, the project gives more value to confirmed identities.
There are over 18 million identity-verified users on Pi.
But there is one clear difference between Pi’s users and others.
1 million verified users on Pi ≠ 1 million users on other networks.

Pi also says account numbers do not always show true network readiness. A large account total may reflect interest, but not actual participation.
In contrast, verified users can support clearer and more secure transactions. So, the network continues to focus on people who have completed KYC.
The project says this model is tied to its Mainnet ecosystem. It describes that system as built around verified participation.
That approach is meant to support practical use and not simple user growth. For that reason, Pi keeps verified users at the center of its message.
Identity Checks Support Trust in Real Transactions
Pi Network says every transfer of value raises a basic identity question. It asks who is sending the asset and who is receiving it.
If those details are not clear, trust can fall quickly. Then users may question whether the transfer is valid.
The network applies this idea to both digital and traditional assets. It refers to crypto, fiat currency, property, and goods.
In each case, identity helps confirm the people in the exchange. Therefore, Pi says verification is needed for meaningful transactions.
The project states, “Verified identities are needed for any meaningful transactions, especially in real-world economies.”
That quote reflects Pi Network’s main position. It links identity verification with trust and with everyday use. At the same time, it presents KYC as a practical requirement.
Pi also says verification can reduce unwanted network activity. It reports that spam drops when users complete identity checks.
Trust then increases, and service reliability can improve as well. Because of this, the network keeps stressing verified participation.

Mainnet Migrations Return as Blockchain Activity Grows
Pi Network has announced that Mainnet migrations have resumed. This process moves eligible balances to the blockchain for use.
It also activates accounts that are ready for the next stage. As a result, users have started watching the explorer more closely.
According to the network, new accounts are being created, funded, and activated. That pattern suggests the system is moving again behind the scenes.
Pi says each migration helps build a more active ecosystem. In that system, the token is expected to move beyond mining.

The project says resumed migrations support its wider goal for Mainnet. It wants a network where assets can be used in practical settings.
However, that goal depends on verified users and not account totals alone. So, migration progress and identity checks remain closely linked.
Pi also says users still waiting for migration should stay prepared. It has not given one timeline for every account.
Still, it says the process is active again and moving forward. Taken together, the update supports Pi’s claim that verified users matter more in real economies.
