Gate News message: Pi Network has rolled out a critical security update, requiring all Pioneers to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) before completing the first and second mainnet migrations. This measure is part of the mainnet checklist, intended to protect users’ wallet and account security and prevent loss of funds during the Pi Coin irreversible migration process. After enabling 2FA, users may also be required to link a trusted email address in order to complete verification and recovery actions.
This upgrade comes as the Pi community continues to face persistent scam threats. Attackers use fake websites, messaging platforms, and QR codes to trick users into disclosing wallet information or sending Pi Coin, resulting in funds being stolen. By forcing 2FA, Pi Network helps ensure that sensitive account actions can only be approved by the account owner, thereby reducing security risks. The team also reminds users not to visit unknown links or applications, never to disclose wallet phrases, and to stay alert to information from official channels.
On the technical side, Pi Network is also moving forward with the upgrade in parallel. Node operators have upgraded to protocol 21.2, improving system performance and scalability to support future features and user security. The mainnet migration is still progressing in stages: the first phase is prioritized for completion, and the second phase is gradually opened to ensure steady network growth.
For Pioneers, the next steps are very clear: first complete the mainnet checklist, then enable 2FA, and finally carry out the mainnet migration under guidance from official channels. With this set of security measures, Pi Network aims to address the ever-growing risk of scams, while laying a solid foundation for ecosystem development and safeguarding users’ assets.

Pi Network PIRC baseline protection mechanism sparks controversy, implying a “quasi-stablecoin” logic
Pi Network member Daniel F raised a logical contradiction in the PIRC token design, noting that if it has a 23.8% floor protection, it would need to behave like a stablecoin, which conflicts with its high volatility on CEX. This floor is based on Pi’s price calculations; if Pi itself fluctuates significantly, it will be unable to effectively protect holders. Daniel emphasized the importance of transparency, but the project team did not respond to it, leading the community to continue speculating about the reasons for its silence.
