This is the fullest version of the notice in the footer of every page here. Where a shorter statement elsewhere on the site conflicts with it, this page governs.
Not the official website, and not affiliated
Pi Compass is not the official Pi Network website. We are an independent editorial project with no affiliation to, sponsorship by, employment relationship with or endorsement from Pi Network, the Pi Core Team, SocialChain Inc., the Pi Community Company, the Pi Foundation or PiBit Ltd. We have never been paid by any of them and we speak for none of them.
The official Pi Network website is minepi.com. The official Pi Network and Pi Browser apps are distributed only through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Anything else claiming to be an official Pi download, wallet, validator or migration tool is not, and should be treated as hostile.
Trademark notice
Pi, Pi Network, Pi Browser, the Pi logo and the π symbol are the property of their respective owners, as are the exchange and app-store names appearing here. We use all of them nominatively — for identification, reporting and commentary — under fair use. No use of a mark here implies affiliation, sponsorship or approval by its owner.
No financial, investment, tax or legal advice
Nothing on this site is financial, investment, tax or legal advice, and nothing here recommends buying, selling or holding anything. We are not a licensed adviser, broker, dealer or fiduciary in any jurisdiction, and no page takes your circumstances into account because we do not know them. We publish no price predictions, targets or forecasts, and we do not sell, custody, broker or issue any digital asset. If you need advice, consult a licensed professional in your own country.
Market data, accuracy and staleness
Crypto data goes stale fast. Prices, volumes, supply figures and listing status change by the minute, and this is a static site: the numbers you are reading were true when they were read, not necessarily now. Every volatile figure carries the date it was captured. Treat any undated number, anywhere, as worthless.
Aggregators also disagree. Where two credible sources differ we publish both and name each rather than silently pick a favourite. We warrant nothing about the completeness, currency or accuracy of any figure here.
Sourcing, and how we label what we cannot verify
Exact figures are attributed inline: Pi's March 2019 whitepaper and its December 2021 addendum, the MiCA white paper filed in October 2025, Pi Network's blog and support pages, individual exchange notices, or public blockchain data read from Pi's Horizon-compatible API. Where a number circulates only as a community claim or third-party estimate, we say so and treat it as unverified. Where Pi publishes no figure at all — the current mining base rate being the clearest case — we say that rather than guess. Our about page sets out the method.
Affiliate disclosure
Two affiliate buttons appear across this site. They are tagged nofollow sponsored, they open a third-party exchange in a new tab, and we may earn a commission if you open an account or trade through them, at no extra cost to you.
Those buttons are not an endorsement, and the venue behind them is not the official Pi Network app or the official Pi Wallet. A hosted balance is not self-custody. Most importantly, the PI instrument sold at a linked venue may be an IOU rather than native mainnet Pi — an exchange-internal claim that cannot be withdrawn to a Pi address you control. Commercial relationships do not influence our conclusions, and we publish unflattering findings about venues we link to.
Third-party links
Outbound links exist for verification and convenience. We do not control third-party sites, we do not audit their security or terms, and a link is never an endorsement of the operator, its products or its claims. Once you leave this site, their terms and privacy policy apply, not ours.
Risk warning
You can lose everything you put in
Cryptocurrency is volatile, largely unregulated in many jurisdictions, and can lose all of its value. Pi is no exception, and Pi's own MiCA white paper says so: the asset "may lose its value in part or in full, may not always be transferable and may not be liquid." That is the issuer's language in a regulated filing, not ours. Thin order books, unlock schedules, exchange failure, lost passphrases and irreversible transactions are all realistic routes to nothing. Never commit money you cannot afford to lose entirely.
Limitation of liability
This site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of accuracy, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pi Compass and its contributors accept no liability for any loss or damage — direct, indirect, incidental or consequential, including lost funds, profits or data — arising from your use of this site, your reliance on anything published here, or your dealings with any third party reached through it. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Our terms of use govern your use of the site; our privacy policy covers data.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pi Compass the official Pi Network website?
No. The official Pi Network website is minepi.com, and the official Pi Network and Pi Browser apps are distributed only through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Pi Compass is an independent editorial project with no affiliation to, sponsorship by or endorsement from Pi Network, the Pi Core Team, SocialChain Inc., the Pi Community Company, the Pi Foundation or PiBit Ltd.
Is anything on this site financial advice?
No. Nothing here is financial, investment, tax or legal advice, and we are not licensed to give it. We publish no price predictions, targets or forecasts, we make no recommendation to buy, sell or hold, and we do not sell, custody, broker, exchange or issue any digital asset. Decisions about your own money remain entirely yours.
Why do you say the PI on a linked exchange may be an IOU?
Because two different assets share the ticker. Some venues list native PI that settles on the Pi blockchain and can be withdrawn to a G… address you control. Others list an exchange-internal IOU with deposits and withdrawals permanently disabled — a claim against the venue, not a cryptocurrency. HTX force-converted its PI IOU holders at 61.28 USDT in February 2025, days before real PI opened near $1.47.
Can I rely on the prices and volumes you publish?
Only as a dated snapshot. Every volatile figure on this site carries the date it was read, and aggregators disagree with each other — even on Pi's all-time high, recorded as $2.98 by CoinMarketCap and $2.99 by CoinGecko. Verify against a live source before you act on any number here, ours included.
