The post Can Pi Network Fix Its Know Your Customer (KYC) Process? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Pi Network is once again under scrutiny over its Know Your Customer (KYC) process, as many users remain stuck in the tentative approval phase.  The stalled verifications have fueled growing frustration within the community, raising concerns about the project’s transparency and long-term credibility.

Amid the ongoing challenges, Pi Network has continued to roll out technical updates to address the problems.  On August 27, the project released a Linux Node version and announced a protocol upgrade from version 19 to version 23. An important part of this update is KYC scalability. Pi Network plans to embed KYC enforcement directly into the blockchain. The protocol will also allow trusted third parties to act as verification authorities in the future.
