The Pi, previously known as the Phoenix Protocol, is Pi's rewards initiative for Pi token holders on Ethereum, and for our players across the Pi ecosystem. There will be five episodes in total, and each episode offers new and interesting ways to collect Pi Token.

Pi Token, previously known as Loot, is the name given to the points that you collect in the Pi. The purpose of Pi Token will be revealed in a later episode!

No. Your Pi Token balance elsewhere (eg. Telegram or Arc8) and here on the Pi website are currently separate balances.

You can take a look at this article for more information, or visit our Pi FAQ page, which is regularly updated.

No – the Pi Token you collect elsewhere, such as on Telegram or in Arc8, are currently stored there. However, before the end of the Wat Protocol, it will be possible to merge your balances, and your entire Pi Token balance from across the Pi ecosystem will be counted.

Episode 3 of the Pi is a hard-staking initiative on Ethereum: this means that the Pi you commit to stake is locked for the period of time that you choose. You can choose to stake for 30 days or 60 days, with the latter option resulting in more Pi Token.

The minimum staking amount is 1000 Pi. There is no upper limit on how much Pi you can stake. However, the more Pi you stake (and the longer you do it), the more Pi Token you will earn.

Yes. Your Pi is locked into a contract for the duration of time you choose (30 or 60 days). It will be returned to you afterwards. However, note that you cannot access or trade your staked Pi during this period; if you withdraw your stake, there is a 5% tax on the amount staked.
