Today we are sharing an important update about the future of PIN and the next phase of the PIN Network ecosystem.

From Monday 22 December 2025, PIN will become exclusively available within the PIN Network App. Support for the Polygon version of PIN will be phased out.

This is a major milestone designed to strengthen long term stability, protect holders, and ensure PIN remains secure, reliable, and ready for future growth.

Why we are making this change

Over the past two years, the Polygon network has not consistently delivered the reliability required for the long term health of PIN. Periods of congestion, unstable performance, and network delays have impacted bridging, deposits, and the ability for new holders to acquire PIN efficiently.

To protect the future of the ecosystem and support sustainable growth, we believe the best path forward is to make PIN exclusively available within the PIN Network App.

This change delivers several important benefits.

Better long term stability

Moving away from Polygon removes reliance on an external chain that has historically under-performed, creating a more stable foundation for the future of PIN.

Lower costs

Users will no longer be required to pay Layer 1 gas fees, third party fees, or bridging costs.

Improved security

By removing the Layer 1 dependency, we can better protect liquidity, pricing integrity, and the full PIN lifecycle.

Better user experience

Most users already interact with PIN directly inside the App. This change removes the need for DeFi processes, self custodial wallets, slippage, swapping, and unpredictable network conditions.

Freedom to develop new features

Hosting PIN exclusively within the PIN Network unlocks the ability to build new features, rewards, and enhancements that are not possible across external chains.

BTC backed and App exclusive

As part of this transition, PIN Token will move to a BTC backed liquidity model and will be available exclusively within the PIN Network App. This change removes reliance on external Layer 1 networks and supports a more controlled, secure, and resilient operating environment for the PIN ecosystem.

PIN will continue to function as the native settlement and utility token of the PIN Network, supporting payments, staking, trading, and other core network features within the App.

PIN is already the native currency of the PIN Network.

What is changing is where it will be available.

From December, PIN will only be accessible inside the PIN Network App.

What this means for the future of PIN

PIN will continue to operate as the currency that powers payments, staking, trading, rewards, and other ecosystem features within the PIN Network. Its purpose and functionality remain unchanged.

This change positions PIN for a stronger and more secure future.

Staking remains exactly the same

Your current staking benefits will not change.

  • Same APY
  • Same one year lock period
  • Same 2x staking value
  • Same long term growth structure

Staking will continue to operate as normal alongside our existing staking platform and the PIN Network App.

Liquidity becomes safer and more controlled

Liquidity will be migrated away from Layer 1 environments to prevent manipulation and protect holders from extreme price exposure. Pricing will no longer be influenced by external DEX conditions where sudden liquidity shifts or opportunistic trading can negatively impact long term holders.

This approach ensures the ecosystem remains healthy, fair, and sustainable.

If I hold PIN, what do I need to do?

If you hold PIN inside the PIN Network App

You do not need to take any action.

Your PIN will remain in your account and will transition automatically in the background.

If you hold PIN on Polygon (Layer 1) You will need to migrate your PIN into the PIN Network App before the migration window closes.

Steps to migrate:

Create a support ticket at https://support.payitnow.io Provide your external wallet address where your Layer 1 PIN is currently held Our team will verify that your PIN was purchased prior to 21 December 2025 Once confirmed, the PIN Team will manually credit your PIN Network App account with the equivalent amount of PIN Your balance will appear in the App shortly after processing Once your PIN is in the App, you are fully prepared for the transition.

Important note: Six month migration window

There will be a strict six month period for all Layer 1 holders to migrate their PIN and notify Pay It Now that they still hold PIN on Polygon.

After this six month window closes:

  • Bridging PIN into the App will no longer be possible
  • Layer 1 PIN will no longer be sellable or swappable
  • Polygon liquidity will be permanently removed from the smart contract
  • There will be no option to migrate PIN afterward
  • No extensions will be granted

Six months provides sufficient time for holders to either migrate or sell their PIN. This deadline is essential to prevent attempts to exploit pricing once liquidity has been withdrawn.

Manual requests during the migration window

During the six-month migration period, the following actions will require manual review and approval.

  • Bridging Layer 1 PIN into the App
