The Pi Network has rolled out a new video-based login protocol for users in China, while global users report issues following the recent 1.41.0 app update. These developments have led to growing concerns about transparency and platform stability.

Pi Network Launches Mandatory Video for Chinese Users

The Pi Core Team has introduced a mandatory video message that plays when users in China log into the app. The video addresses three major concerns in the Chinese Pi community:

  • Migration Delays: It explains why the transition to mainnet has been slower in China.
  • Security Threats: It warns users against illegal actions like “swiping numbers.”
  • Wallet Safety: It advises users to be cautious of scams targeting Pi wallets.

No Official Representatives in China

The Pi team clarified that no individual or organization has been authorized to represent Pi Network in China. All official support and updates should be accessed through verified Pi Network channels.

Pi Network App 1.41.0 Triggers Global Technical Issues

Following the May 9 release of version 1.41.0, users around the world have reported multiple problems, including:

  • Two-factor authentication failures
  • Missing Pi balances
  • Reluctance among users to install the new version

The Pi Network has yet to release an official statement addressing these concerns.

Migration Still Stuck at Step 9 for Many Users

A significant number of users report that their migration process is stuck at Step 9, even after completing identity verification and agreeing to lock-up conditions.

At the same time, other users are migrating without issues. This inconsistent experience has raised concerns about the fairness and reliability of the overall migration system.

Pi Coin Market Update

Despite long-term declines, Pi coin has shown minor short-term recovery:

  • 30-day performance: down 33.6%
  • 7-day performance: down 6.7%
  • 24-hour change: up 5.2%
  • 1-hour change: up 0.3%
  • Current price: $0.5873

Conclusion

The Pi Network community continues to face technical and procedural challenges. With a new login requirement in China and unresolved app-related issues, users are calling for greater clarity and responsiveness from the Pi Core Team.
