Pi Network Users Pay Attention: Key News on the Verification Front

2025/10/24 15:47

Ever since its inception over half a decade ago, the Pi Network project has attracted millions of users, even before it officially launched, but also a fair share of controversy and criticism.

One of those has been the verification process, with countless users complaining online about having to wait weeks or even months only to be denied at the end. Now, though, the team behind the project has issued a new update, providing more detailed information on the KYC procedures, the number of successfully verified users, and what’s next.

Verified Pioneers

The new update from the Pi Network Core Team reads that over 3.36 million additional users (referred to as Pioneers) had successfully passed the complete Know-Your-Customer (KYC) procedures. This became possible after the recent release of a system process that conducts additional checks for Tentative KYC cases and enabled more than 4.76 million Tentative KYC’d users to become eligible for full KYC completion.

These new procedures allow the team to prevent “cheating accounts” from passing KYC, help uphold the project’s policy of one account per person, and “further protect the integrity of the network and fairness for honest, real Pioneers.”

It’s worth noting that not all of the 3.36 million noted above have migrated to the Mainnet blockchain – the number as of press time stands at 2.69 million. Those who have not made the move yet need to check if they have fully passed KYC and complete the Mainnet Checklist.

They might also need to conduct “liveness checks as soon as possible” to become eligible for the new system process to help get fully verified.

PI Price Update

Despite all the updates and news coming from the Core Team, Pi Network’s native token has been in a free-fall state for months. It has lost over 93% of its value since the ATH marked in late February.

Its correction continued this week with another slip below $0.20. However, it has defended that level as of press time and trades just inches above it.

The token unlock schedule for the next month doesn’t appear too painful as the average number of coins to be released daily sits at just over four million, which is a lot less than the 8-9 million seen during the summer. This means that the immediate selling pressure could ease, especially from investors who receive their tokens now.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark.

Shytoshi Kusama Addresses $2.4 Million Shibarium Bridge Exploit

Shytoshi Kusama Addresses $2.4 Million Shibarium Bridge Exploit

The post Shytoshi Kusama Addresses $2.4 Million Shibarium Bridge Exploit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The lead developer of Shiba Inu, Shytoshi Kusama, has publicly addressed the Shibarium bridge exploit that occurred recently, draining $2.4 million from the network. After days of speculation about his involvement in managing the crisis, the project leader broke his silence. Kusama emphasized that a special “war room” has been set up to restore stolen finances and enhance network security. The statement is his first official words since the bridge compromise occurred. “Although I am focusing on AI initiatives to benefit all our tokens, I remain with the developers and leadership in the war room,” Kusama posted on social media platform X. He dismissed claims that he had distanced himself from the project as “utterly preposterous.” The developer said that the reason behind his silence at first was strategic. Before he could make any statements publicly, he must have taken time to evaluate what he termed a complex and deep situation properly. Kusama also vowed to provide further updates in the official Shiba Inu channels as the team comes up with long-term solutions. As highlighted in our previous article, targeted Shibarium’s bridge infrastructure through a sophisticated attack vector. Hackers gained unauthorized access to validator signing keys, compromising the network’s security framework. The hackers executed a flash loan to acquire 4.6 million BONE ShibaSwap tokens. The validator power on the network was majority held by them after this purchase. They were able to transfer assets out of Shibarium with this control. The response of Shibarium developers was timely to limit the breach. They instantly halted all validator functions in order to avoid additional exploitation. The team proceeded to deposit the assets under staking in a multisig hardware wallet that is secure. External security companies were involved in the investigation effort. Hexens, Seal 911, and PeckShield are collaborating with internal developers to…
