Pi Network has gained massive popularity as a decentralized digital currency that can be mined using a smartphone. However, many users are eager to know how to withdraw their Pi coins and convert them into real-world money. In this guide, we will walk you through the entire withdrawal process, from KYC verification to transferring Pi to external wallets and cashing out successfully.

Step 1: Complete KYC Verification
The first and most crucial step in withdrawing Pi coins is completing Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. Pi Network requires KYC to ensure compliance with anti-fraud and security policies.
How to Complete KYC:
- Open the Pi Network app and go to the Mainnet checklist.
- If selected for KYC, you will see an invitation.
- Follow the instructions, upload a valid ID, and take a selfie for identity verification.
- Wait for approval—this may take hours to days.
Without KYC verification, you cannot transfer your Pi coins to external wallets or withdraw them.
Step 2: Move Pi Coins to the Mainnet
Once your KYC is approved, the next step is moving your mined Pi from the app’s balance to the Mainnet wallet.
How to Transfer Pi to the Mainnet Wallet:
- Open the Pi Network app and go to the Mainnet section.
- Click on Migrate to Mainnet and confirm your transaction.
- Wait for the migration process to be completed.
Your Pi coins will now be stored in your Mainnet wallet, ready for withdrawal.
Step 3: Link an External Wallet
To withdraw Pi, you need to transfer it to an external wallet that supports Pi Network transactions.
Popular Pi-Compatible Wallets:
- Pi Browser Wallet
- Trust Wallet (future support expected)
- Binance or Coinbase (if they list Pi in the future)
Steps to Link an External Wallet:
- Go to Pi Network app > Wallet.
- Create a Pi wallet (if not done already) and copy the address.
- Link your wallet to the Pi Network app.
- Test the transaction by sending a small amount first.
Step 4: Use a P2P Exchange or Sell Directly
As of now, Pi Coin is not listed on major exchanges like Binance or Coinbase, but there are peer-to-peer (P2P) markets where users can trade Pi for fiat currency.
How to Sell Pi Using P2P:
- Join a trusted Pi trading group (on Telegram, Facebook, or Discord).
- Find a verified buyer willing to purchase Pi.
- Transfer the agreed amount of Pi to their wallet.
- Receive payment via PayPal, Bank Transfer, or Crypto Wallet.
⚠️ Warning: Be cautious of scams in P2P trading and always use escrow services if available.
Step 5: Wait for Official Exchange Listings
Pi Network is expected to list on major exchanges once the Open Mainnet phase launches. When that happens, you will be able to withdraw Pi directly through:
- Binance
- Coinbase
- KuCoin
- Kraken
This will allow users to sell Pi for USDT, Bitcoin, or local fiat currency securely.
Conclusion
Withdrawing Pi Coin requires KYC approval, Mainnet migration, and linking an external wallet. While official exchange listings are still pending, users can sell Pi via P2P platforms in the meantime. Stay updated with Pi Network announcements for the latest withdrawal options.
