The reward is calculated based on factors such as uptime, port openness, CPU contribution, and a tuning factor. These factors assess the reliability, accessibility, and performance of Nodes in the network.

Uptime: The proportion of time a Node is active and accessible. Port openness: The availability of ports for connectivity to the network. CPU contribution: The average CPU provided by the Node to the network. Tuning factor: Normalizes the reward to ensure comparability with ...Read more

By encouraging the operation of reliable Nodes, the reward contributes to the decentralization, security, and scalability of the Pi blockchain. It also enables the development of peer-to-peer node-based applications, expanding the utility of the network.

Nodes validate transactions, process blocks, and maintain the integrity of the blockchain. They ensure consensus among participants and facilitate the smooth functioning of the network.

KYC verification is required for Pioneers to transfer their Pi balances to the Mainnet. Failure to complete KYC within the rolling grace period of six months results in the reallocation of unverified Pi to Pioneer mining rewards.

The grace period balances the need to give Pioneers adequate time for verification with the urgency to complete KYC. It also prevents unverified Pi from migrating to the Mainnet, ensuring the integrity of the ecosystem.

Newly created accounts must wait 30 days before applying for KYC verification to limit abuse by bots and fake accounts. This prioritizes resources for real human Pioneers and helps maintain the integrity of the verification process.

Unverified Pi beyond the grace period is reallocated to Pioneer mining rewards and not transferred to the Mainnet. This ensures that Pi on the Mainnet is held by verified Pioneers who contribute to the network’s growth.
