Pi Network Under Fire As PiDaoSwap Launches NFTs On Binance Chain

Critics are taking swipes at Pi Network and the PiCoreTeam after PiDaoSwap raised concerns over lengthy delays for Know Your Business (KYB) approvals. The delays have forced the hand of PiDaoSwap to roll out non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on Binance Chain as a short-term solution. Pi Network Faces Criticism for KYB Delays Decentralized exchange PiDaoSwap has expressed worry over the prolonged delays of the KYB review process on Pi Network. According to a statement on X , PiDaoSwap submitted a KYB application, but 15 days later, the PiCoreTeam (PCT) has yet to issue an approval. To build on the Pi Network, projects will need to submit a KYB application to pass the PCT’s due diligence process. An approval will give projects access to developer support, funding, and other ancillary perks for building in the Pi ecosystem. However, after over two weeks, PiDaoSwap describes the wait as an “agonizing” one. Per the statement, PiDaoSwap is unable to start full development on the Pi mainnet because of the delay. Following the delay, PiDaoSwap says it will launch NFTs on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) while it waits for approval. Binance continues to exclude Pi Network in its Vote To List initiative as it focuses on BSC projects. “We have chosen to launch community NFTs on BSC as an interim solution rather than continuing to wait idly,” said PiDaoSwap. “Only after KYB approval can we proceed with in-depth development and ecosystem building on the Pi mainnet.” PiCoreTeam Catching Backlash In Recent Weeks Thought leaders in the Pi ecosystem have been vocal in their criticism of the PCT. Dr Altcoin, an active member of the ecosystem, took swipes at the PCT over the KYB approval delays. He argues that PiDaoSwap is not an isolated incident, adding that several centralized exchanges are waiting for KYB approvals. “This is one example of a clear failure by the PCT,” said Dr Altcoin. “I also know some CEXs are on the waiting list for KYB approval.” Furthermore, Dr Altcoin theorizes that Bybit not listing Pi Network is the fault of the PiCoreTeam. Dr Altcoin disclosed that the delays in centralized exchanges result from a lack of transparency by the PCT for token locking and burning mechanisms. Pi Coin price has fallen by 15% over the last day to settle at $0.55, dousing optimism for a move to clinch $1. As investors scan the horizon for a correction, a listing by a top exchange and a string of ecosystem partnerships by the PCT can send prices to new highs. Despite the criticisms, the PCT is proceeding with its domain auction, receiving over 200,000 bids in the latest update.
