Pi Network uses a proprietary and revolutionary technology combining energy-light mobile mining and a crowd-scaled KYC solution. This ensures access and identity verification within the Web3 ecosystem.

Pi’s Know Your Customer (KYC) solution is essential for ensuring fairness, securing the blockchain, maintaining ecosystem integrity, and empowering real people while disempowering malicious actors, bots, or free riders. KYC helps build collaboration within the network by verifying user identities.

Pi uses an energy-light mining method that allows users to mine Pi cryptocurrency using their mobile phones. This method is designed to be fair and meritocratic, rewarding users for their contributions and digital citizenship.

The vision is to build the world’s most inclusive peer-to-peer ecosystem and online experience, fueled by Pi, the world’s most widely distributed cryptocurrency.

Yes, Pi is always free to mine on mobile devices.

Pi Network is available where permitted by applicable laws and regulations, which may change frequently.

You cannot mine from more than one device. Pi uses machine learning algorithms, Security Circles, and KYC verification to prevent fake accounts and bots.
