The team has previously claimed that major milestones will occur once 15 million users pass necessary Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verifications and migrate to the mainnet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">process<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> deadline, known as the Grace Period, was set for January 31 but was recently <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/important-pi-network-pi-update-users-are-losing-patience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">moved<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to February 28. One reason behind the constant extensions could be the issues that some users experience when trying to abide by the rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Pi Network issued key guidance to those struggling with the procedures in the past few months.
