Pi Day Celebration: Additional 100K Free KYC
KYC News
As part of the Pi Day celebration news, we are announcing today another free 100K KYC slots for the community. Since our announcement of the initial 100,000 free KYC slots, we have completed all of them for selected Pioneers all over the world based on their past and future contributions to Pi, including Node, Platform, community and engagement etc.. Today we are offering an additional 100,000 free KYC slots that sums up to 200,000 in total for the community, to continue the flow of KYC’ed members to support our Testnet, build our ecosystem and bootstrap the Pi economy.
In the meantime, the Core Team has started working technically and logistically on the community-driven KYC solutions proposed in the Brainstorm app for the mass majority of Pioneers, in the hope to achieve low-to-no cost KYC solutions for all real human Pioneers. So if you have not received a KYC slot yet, please be patient.
As defined in our privacy policy at https://pi.app/privacy , the KYC data is collected and used solely to verify the identity of the Pioneer and to be compliant with regulatory requirements and the Pi Network policy that only real human beings can receive Pi. We have never sold any KYC data collected and will not do so without your consent.
Reminder: All Pi KYC processes will only be initiated from this App, and Pioneers will be notified within this app if they are selected for a free KYC slot. Beware of any scams that claim to give or sell Pi KYC opportunities outside of our app.
An updated version of our previous announcement about KYC for complete context
Why do we need KYC?
The vision of Pi Network is to build an inclusive and most widely-distributed digital currency and economy for all people around the world. The mining mechanism of Pi Network is social-network based, and the mining rate halves as the social network size grows by 10x. So Pi has a strict policy of one account per person. This requires a high degree of accuracy to establish that members in the network are genuine human beings, in order to prevent individuals being able to hoard Pi through creating fake accounts unfairly. In addition to various layers of technical solutions to detecting, preventing and excluding fake accounts to enforce the one account per person policy, KYC provides an extra defence to ensure the true humanness of the network. The KYC process of Pi Network does not just fulfill regulatory requirements, but is important to guarding Pi’s mining mechanism and the purpose of the project.
How is the current KYC conducted?
Current Pi KYC is conducted by a third-party KYC provider. Even though the current required documents in some countries are limited to only passports, such identity verification solutions provide the level of authenticity that we’re looking for right now, while preserving people’s privacy. Member privacy is a guiding principle of Pi Network. Pi Network does not care as much about the content of the data you submit during KYC as the authenticity of your identity (i.e. that you are a real human being and not a bot). Pi Network deeply respects member privacy and aims to minimize intrusions on member privacy while keeping the currency safe.
We recognize and hear that obtaining passports is difficult for some Pioneers, and we have been proposing in the Brainstorm app and trying to organize the community to develop a decentralized, reliable, low- to no-cost KYC process customized for the Pi community that does not necessarily require passports. The ultimate goal is to enable every real Pioneer in the network to pass KYC or prove their humanness eventually for the Mainnet. For more details on the initial designs of such KYC solutions, please visit the Brainstorm app at the bottom of the home screen.
What does KYC right now enable Pioneers to do?
Currently, we mostly use KYC to enable Pioneers to run certain versions of nodes, be a developer of Pi Apps on our platform, spend Pi in Pi Apps, which are pillars of building Pi’s economic ecosystem. Eventually, every Pi member will need to pass KYC in order to migrate their Pi to the Pi Mainnet.
KYC does not exempt Pioneers from complying with Pi policies and from prohibited behavior, including selling Pi to exchange with other currencies, selling Pi accounts to others, using any automated scripts in their accounts, and creating fake accounts. Even if a Pioneer passed KYC, the prohibited behavior may cause the KYC’ed account to be frozen, revoked, burnt or banned before the Mainnet. Thus, please do not participate in any prohibited activities. Being a real human following Pi’s policies is the best strategy to secure your Pi.
What are the selection criteria and process for the additional 100K free KYC slots?
The selection criteria as previously announced will be meritocratic, based on Pioneer’s previous contributions to Pi including the length of time being a Pioneer, the amount of time and reliability of Nodes, engagement, growing the community, fostering constructive conversations, and future potential contributions including Pi Node and Testnet, Pi Apps Platform, bootstrapping Pi’s peer-to-peer economy and building the ecosystem. The consideration for future potential contribution means there will be both recent and senior Pioneers being selected, but in aggregate the distribution will have more senior Pioneers than Pioneers who recently joined.
We also take into account the probability of being or associating with fake account creation. We actually also invite to KYC some of these accounts that we suspect to be "fake" or “running automated scripts”, so that we can further study their practices and evaluate them. These accounts will obviously be excluded from transferring their Pi to the Mainnet if we confirm our suspicions.
We will continue using the same KYC selection process where our system automatically selects Pioneers probabilistically based on the above criteria on a daily basis. The selected Pioneers will be notified by a popup prompt inside this app. On the in-app prompt, the Pioneer will be asked to confirm if they have the right identity documents given their country of issuance. If so, they proceed to conduct the KYC in the third-party app. If not, it does not mean they will not be selected again. If someone has been prompted by the system to pass KYC this time, there is a chance they may be selected again for the additional 100K free slots later, but it’s not guaranteed. Falsely claiming to have a certain document not only will lead to a KYC failure right now, but also reduce this person’s chance of being selected in the future to pass it again.
If someone is selected and has the right documents, they have the next 48 hours to pass the KYC. After 48 hours, if the Pioneer has not used this slot, this free KYC opportunity will roll over to other Pioneers. The reason for the 48-hour period for Pioneers who already confirmed they have the right document is because we want to ensure each day we complete a targeted number of KYCs, having an even allocation of KYC slots each day and avoiding peaks of traffic for us and for our third-party provider.
All in all, the total 200K free KYC is only the beginning of our enrollment of Pioneers for identification verification that enables more Pioneers to build Pi’s decentralized network and bootstrap Pi’s economy, and again, you can always wait for future opportunities and future KYC solutions as mentioned above.
Why is KYC free for the 200K Pioneers?
Because it is a relatively small group and the 200K Pioneers will be working to bootstrap our economy and build our Testnet. KYC is costly because it is currently performed by a third-party app that charges on a per KYC check basis. While the Core Team can potentially cover the cost for a small fraction of Pi’s global community, it cannot cover the KYC costs for our millions of current and future Pioneers before we find the low- to no-cost solution. The Core Team will not profit from the identity verification KYC processes for Pioneers to go to the Mainnet. For the large mass of Pioneers, the future KYC will either be at cost for Pioneers (i.e. whatever the third-party KYC provider charges) or a decentralized, low- to no-cost KYC process, customized for the Pi community. Our aspiration is to create a free KYC option. Although we cannot yet promise we will achieve this goal, we can promise that we will try our best.

Pi 日庆祝活动:额外提供 10 万个免费 KYC
什么新闻
作为 Pi 日庆祝新闻的一部分，我们今天宣布另一个免费的 100K KYC 插槽为社区。自我们宣布首批 10 万个免费 KYC 插槽以来，我们已经为全球各地入选的先进者完成了所有的插槽，基于他们过去和未来对 Pi 的贡献，包括节点、平台、社区和参与等。今天，我们为社区提供了额外的 10 万个免费 KYC 插槽，总计 20 万个，以继续 KYC 'ed 会员的流动，以支持我们的测试网，建立我们的生态系统和引导 Pi 经济。
与此同时，核心团队已经开始在技术和后勤方面开展工作，为广大先驱者提供头脑风暴应用中提出的社区驱动的 KYC 解决方案，希望为所有真正的人类先驱者实现低成本甚至零成本的 KYC 解决方案。因此，如果您还没有收到 KYC 插槽，请耐心等待。
请参阅我们的隐私政策 https://pi。在 app/隐私方面，KYC 数据仅用于验证先锋的身份，并符合法规要求和 Pi 网络政策，即只有真正的人类才能接收 Pi。我们从未出售收集的任何 KYC 数据，也不会在未经您同意的情况下出售。
提醒:所有 Pi KYC 进程将仅从本应用程序启动，先锋将在本应用程序内得到通知，如果他们被选择为免费 KYC 插槽。当心任何声称在我们的应用程序之外提供或出售 Pi KYC 机会的骗局。
我们先前关于 KYC 的声明的更新版本，以获得完整的上下文
为什么我们需要 KYC?
Pi Network 的愿景是为世界各地的所有人建立一个包容性、分布最广泛的数字货币和经济。Pi 网络的挖掘机制基于社会网络，随着社会网络规模增加 10 倍，挖掘率减半。所以 Pi 有一个严格的政策，每人一个帐户。这需要高度的准确性来确定网络中的成员是真实的人，以防止个人通过不公平地创建虚假账户来囤积 Pi。除了多层技术解决方案来检测、防止和排除虚假账户，以执行每人一个账户的政策，KYC 还提供了额外的防御，以确保网络的真正人性化。Pi 网络的 KYC 过程不仅满足监管要求，而且对于保护 Pi 的挖掘机制和项目目的是重要的。
当前的 KYC 是如何进行的?
目前 Pi KYC 是由第三方 KYC 提供商进行的。尽管一些国家目前要求的文件仅限于护照，但这种身份验证解决方案提供了我们现在所寻求的真实性，同时又保护了人们的隐私。会员隐私是 Pi 网络的指导原则。Pi Network 并不像关心你在 KYC 期间提交的数据内容那样关心你的身份的真实性(即你是一个真实的人，而不是一个机器人)。Pi 网络高度尊重会员隐私，在保证货币安全的同时，尽量减少对会员隐私的侵犯。
我们认识到并听说，对于一些先行者来说，获得护照是困难的，我们一直在头脑风暴应用中提议，并试图组织社区开发一个去中心化、可靠、低至零成本的 KYC 流程，为 Pi 社区定制，不一定需要护照。最终的目标是让每一个真正的网络先锋通过 KYC 或者最终为主网证明他们的人性。有关此类 KYC 解决方案初始设计的更多细节，请访问主屏幕底部的头脑风暴应用程序。
KYC 现在能让先驱者做些什么?
目前，我们主要使用 KYC 让先驱者运行特定版本的节点，在我们的平台上开发 Pi 应用程序，在 Pi 应用程序中投入 Pi，这些都是构建 Pi 经济生态系统的支柱。最终，每个 Pi 成员都需要通过 KYC 才能将他们的 Pi 迁移到 Pi 主网。
KYC 不免除拓荒者遵守 Pi 政策和禁止的行为，包括出售 Pi 以与其他货币交换，向他人出售 Pi 帐户，在其帐户中使用任何自动脚本，以及创建虚假帐户。即使先驱者通过了 KYC，禁止的行为也可能导致该 KYC 'ed 账户在主网前被冻结、撤销、烧毁或禁止。因此，请不要参与任何被禁止的活动。作为一个真正的人，遵守 Pi 的政策是确保你的 Pi 的最佳策略。
额外的 100K 免费 KYC 插槽的选择标准和流程是什么?
与此前宣布将精英选择标准,基于π先锋之前的贡献包括的时间作为一个先锋,和可靠性的时间节点,参与,社区发展,促进建设性的对话,和未来的潜在贡献包括π节点和 Testnet,π应用平台,引导π对等的经济和构建生态系统。对未来潜在贡献的考虑意味着将有近期的和资深的先驱者被选择，但总的来说，分配的资深先驱者将多于近期加入的先驱者。
我们还考虑了虚假账户创建或与之关联的可能性。实际上，我们也邀请一些我们怀疑是“假的”或“运行自动化脚本”的帐户进行 KYC，以便我们可以进一步研究他们的实践和评估他们。如果我们确认我们的怀疑，这些账户显然将不能将 Pi 转移到主网。
我们将继续使用相同的 KYC 选择过程，我们的系统每天都会根据上述标准自动选择先驱者。被选中的先驱者将在该应用程序内弹出提示。在应用程序内提示中，先驱者将被要求确认他们是否拥有根据其发行国提供的正确身份文件。如果是，他们将继续在第三方 app 中进行 KYC。如果不是，并不意味着他们将不再被选中。如果有人被系统提示通过这次的 KYC，他们有机会再次被选中获得额外的 100K 免费插槽，但这是不能保证的。错误地声称拥有某个文档不仅会导致现在的 KYC 失败，而且还会降低这个人将来再次被选中通过的机会。
如果有人被选中并拥有正确的文件，他们将在接下来的 48 小时内通过 KYC。48 小时后，如果先驱者还没有使用这个时段，这个免费 KYC 机会将移交给其他先驱者。48 小时期限的原因开拓者已经确认他们有正确的文档,因为我们要确保每天完成一个目标 KYC 的数量,甚至有一个每天什么时段分配,避免高峰的交通,为我们和我们的第三方供应商。
总而言之，总计 20 万的免费 KYC 只是我们注册先驱者进行身份验证的开始，使更多先驱者能够建立 Pi 的去中心化网络和引导 Pi 的经济，再次，您可以随时等待未来的机会和未来的 KYC 解决方案，如上所述。
为什么 KYC 对 20 万拓荒者免费?
因为这是一个相对较小的群体，20 万的先驱者将推动我们的经济和建立我们的测试网络。KYC 的成本很高，因为它目前是由第三方应用程序执行的，并根据每个 KYC 检查的基础收费。虽然核心团队有可能承担 Pi 全球社区的一小部分成本，但在我们找到低成本甚至零成本的解决方案之前，它无法支付我们当前和未来的数百万先驱者的 KYC 成本。核心团队不会从先驱者进入主网的身份验证 KYC 过程中获利。对于大多数先行者来说，未来的 KYC 要么是先行者的成本(即无论第三方 KYC 提供商收费多少)，要么是为 Pi 社区定制的去中心化、低成本甚至零成本的 KYC 流程。我们的愿望是创建一个免费的 KYC 选项。虽然我们还不能保证我们会实现这个目标，但我们可以保证我们会尽最大努力。
