So, a lot of people have been asking me—can we earn Pi coins without just clicking that lightning button every day? And the answer is yes. There’s another way you can earn Pi, and it’s actually pretty simple.
It’s called the Validation Method. Instead of mining Pi like you usually do, here you do a small task: you help Pi Network validate documents for KYC (Know Your Customer). And for each successful validation, you can earn Pi coins. The more you do it and the more accurate you are, you earn more pi coins as pi network validator
Let me walk you through how it works.
Step 1: Open Your Pi App and Go to Mainnet
First, open your Pi Network app. Go to the Mainnet section. There, you’ll see your transferable balance and some KYC-related steps. Tap on “View Checklist” to see all 9 steps you need to complete for full KYC.
Look for Step 7, which says “Submit your KYC Application” or something similar. Tap on it. It’ll open a new window in your browser that’s connected to the Pi Wallet or Pi Browser.
Step 2: Join the Validation Program
Once that page loads, you’ll see an option that says “Let’s Go”. Tap that.
If it’s your first time, it’ll take you through a short tutorial or quiz. If you’ve done it before like me, you might be able to go straight to your Dashboard.
On my dashboard, it shows that I’ve already done 30 successful validations, and my accuracy rate is 97%. So yeah, you can really earn Pi here if you take it seriously.
Now, if you’re doing this for the first time, the system will guide you with a few quiz questions. Don’t worry, I’ll help you with those too.
Step 3: Answer the Quiz Correctly
So, before you can start validating documents for others, you’ll need to pass a small quiz. It’s super important because if you mess it up, you might not get access to the validation tasks.
Here are some examples of questions you’ll get:
- Is this a valid passport from the US?
- If the image is unclear or fake, the answer is Incorrect ID.
- Is this passport from France?
- If the text says “République Française,” then the answer is Yes.
- Does this ID card match the person?
- If the photo is blurry, answer Unclear Photo.
- Do both images match the same person?
- If yes, the answer is Yes.
- Does the ID match the name shown on the KYC form?
- Answer accordingly. If it’s a match, select Yes.
- Does the birthdate on the document match the expected birthdate?
- If it doesn’t, answer No – Data does not match.
- Is this a real video of a human?
- If the face is moving slightly, it’s Yes.
Answer all the questions carefully. You’ll probably get around 10 to 12 questions total. Once you pass the quiz, you’ll be invited to start validating real user documents.
Step 4: Start Validating and Earning Pi
Once you’re approved, you’ll start receiving actual KYC validation tasks. Each task asks you to check ID documents and match names, faces, or birthdates. You just answer if the info matches or not.
The more tasks you do, and the more accurate you are, the better. Pi Network tracks your accuracy. If your answers are right most of the time, they keep giving you more work.
For example, I got around 30 tasks in one go, and after finishing those, I did 300 validations total. Right now, my dashboard says “Waiting for new validations.” That means I’ve done all available tasks for now, and I’ll get more when they release new ones.
What About the Pi Coins?
Now let’s talk about the Pi rewards. This Pi you earn from validation is different from the Pi you get from daily mining. It’s called KYC Validator Rewards.
You’ll get your reward based on how many validations you complete and your accuracy. It won’t show up instantly. Sometimes it says “Coming Soon” under the reward section. That just means they’re calculating or waiting to release the coins.
So just be patient. If you’ve done the work correctly, you’ll get your Pi. No stress.
Why Is This a Big Deal?
Because this is one of the only legit ways to earn extra Pi without inviting people or just mining. You’re helping the Pi Network community by making sure only real people with real IDs get through the KYC process.
It’s like working behind the scenes. And they’re paying you for it with real Pi coins.
Also, you’re not just pressing a lightning button anymore. You’re actually doing something useful, and in return, you get a chance to earn even more Pi.
Quick Tips Before You Start
- Make sure your KYC is already verified, otherwise you won’t see the validation option.
- Read the quiz questions properly. Don’t rush. One wrong answer can delay your chance to get in.
- Keep checking the dashboard for new validation tasks. Sometimes you’ll get 10, sometimes 50.
- Do it seriously. If your accuracy is good, you’ll get more tasks. If you mess up, they might stop giving you work.
- This feature might not be open for everyone all the time. If you don’t see the validation option, try checking back later.
Final Thoughts
So yeah, you can earn Pi not just by mining, but also by doing Pi KYC validations. This is totally free. No money is needed. Just time and focus. If you’re serious about earning from Pi Network, this is something you should definitely try.
