Pi Network认证，Pi认证KYC流程，官方说KYC验证身份或许要钱，或不要钱

我们收到了有关试点计划和KYC流程的问题，并希望就Pi Network如何接近试点和KYC提供一些说明和指导。

飞行员的甄选过程将以社区为导向，有才干，并设计出能够最有效地引导Pi的点对点经济的先锋。将基于以下条件选择先驱者：a）有具体原因的社区成员的建议（所有人类社区成员将推荐3位先驱者），b）过去的贡献（例如，主持人或聊天参与者），以及c）潜在的未来对经济的贡献。

核心团队不会从身份验证（KYC）中获利。我们还致力于开发一种针对Pi社区的分散，低成本到免费的KYC流程。我们的愿望是创建一个免费的KYC选项。尽管我们尚不能保证会实现这一目标，但我们可以保证会尽力而为。

会员隐私是Pi Network的指导原则。 Pi Network不太关心您在KYC期间提交的数据的内容，而不是身份的真实性（即您是真实的人，而不是机器人）。 Pi Network深切尊重会员的隐私，并致力于在保持货币安全的同时最大程度地减少对会员隐私的侵犯。

这里有一些背景资料，介绍了我们用于识别验证/ KYC的方法。

由于我们尚无法提供从低成本到免费的KYC选项，并且我们需要某种形式的KYC来启用应用内传输，因此我们面临以下选择的困境：1）延迟应用内传输，直到我们获得低价到免费的KYC解决方案，以及2）首先通过试点计划使用第三方KYC提供商以较小的规模实现应用内传输。在与社区主持人进行了广泛讨论之后，我们决定启用首个应用内转移服务，以保持我们的口碑并增强我们的点对点经济。

虽然我们仅依赖第三方KYC提供商，但会员需要负担自己的KYC费用，以实现早期应用内转移。不要忘记，此功能是希望较早进行应用内转移的用户的一种选择。您总是可以稍后再等待低价到无价的选择。与其他服务（如向用户收费的交易所）不同，Pi使会员能够免费进行挖掘。此外，Pi没有在任何交易所列出，并且目前没有法定价值。

为什么飞行员可以免费获得KYC？因为这是一个相对较小的群体，所以试点参与者将努力引导我们的经济。尽管核心团队可以负担这少数人的费用，但在我们找到低成本或无成本的解决方案之前，它目前无法负担数以百万计的当前和未来先锋的费用。

如果您有任何想法，问题或反馈，请告诉我们。我们特别欢迎关于如何确保Pi安全并确保Pi被全世界所有Pioneer包容的想法。谢谢！

We’ve received questions regarding the pilot program and KYC process, and wanted to provide some clarifications and guidance on how Pi Network will approach the pilot and KYC.

The selection process for the pilot will be community-driven, meritocratic, and designed to surface Pioneers best able to bootstrap Pi’s peer-to-peer economy. Pioneers will be selected based on: a) recommendations from community members with concrete reasons (ALL human community members will be able to recommend 3 Pioneers), b) past contributions (e.g., as moderators, or chat participants), and c) potential future contributions to the economy.

The Core Team will not profit from identity verification (KYC). We also aim to develop a decentralized, low- to no-cost KYC process, customized for the Pi community. Our aspiration is to create a free KYC option. Although we cannot yet promise we will achieve this goal, we can promise that we will try our best.

Member privacy is a guiding principle at Pi Network. Pi Network doesn’t care as much about the content of the data you submit during KYC as the authenticity of your identity (i.e., that you are a real human being and not a bot). Pi Network deeply respects member privacy and aims to minimize intrusions on member privacy while keeping the currency safe.

Here is a bit more background on where we are in our approach to identify verification / KYC.

Because our low- to no-cost KYC option is not yet available and we need some form of KYC to enable in-app transfers, we faced a dilemma in choosing between: 1) delaying the in-app transfer until we have the low- to no-cost KYC solution, and 2) enabling in-app transfers using a third-party KYC provider at a smaller scale in a pilot program first. After extensive discussions with the community moderators, we decided to enable the first in-app transfers to keep our word and strengthen our peer-to-peer economy.

While we only rely on third-party KYC providers, members will need to cover the cost of their own KYC to enable early in-app transfers. Don’t forget that this is provided as an option for people who want to have in-app transfer earlier. You can always just wait for the low- to no-cost option later. Unlike other services such as exchanges which charge their users, Pi enables members to mine for free. Additionally, Pi is not listed on any exchanges and does not currently have fiat value.

Why is KYC free for the Pioneers in the pilot? Because it is a relatively small group and the pilot participants will be working to bootstrap our economy. While the Core Team can cover the cost for this small number of people, it cannot currently cover the costs for potentially millions of current and future Pioneers before we find the low- to no-cost solution.

Please let us know if you have any thoughts, questions, or feedback. We especially welcome ideas for how we can keep Pi safe while ensuring that Pi is inclusive to all Pioneers from across the world. Thanks!
