Have you seen the news saying that the Pi Network launched a multi-signature wallet? Sites like MEXC, Coinfomania, and Gate published articles about it. But is it true? I went straight to the official source — the GitHub of the Pi Core Team — and I will show you what is really happening.
WHAT IS MULTI-SIGNATURE?
First of all, let me explain what this function is.
Multi-signature (or multi-sig) is a security system that requires more than one key to approve a transaction. Instead of one person controlling everything alone, you need 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5 approvals to move the coins.
Practical example: Imagine you have a safe that requires two different keys to open. Even if someone steals one key, they cannot open it alone.
This is considered the gold standard of security in cryptocurrencies. Major exchanges, companies, and DAOs use multi-sig to protect their funds.
WHAT THE NEWS SAYS-
In early January 2026, several sites reported that the Pi Network had launched support for multi-signature wallets. The articles mentioned integration with the Stellar ecosystem, use of Ed25519 encryption, and use cases for developers and businesses.
It seemed like a big news. But I wanted to confirm at the official source.
WHAT I DISCOVERED ON THE OFFICIAL GITHUB-
I went to the official repository of the Pi Core Team
And I found something very interesting in the README file:
Version 0.3.0 (Future)
🔲 Multi-signature transaction support
🔲 Advanced Stellar operations
🔲 Plugin system for extensions
🔲 GraphQL API support
What does this mean?
Indicates that the function is PLANNED, but has NOT yet been implemented. It is on the official roadmap for version 0.3.0 of the SDK — a future version.
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE UPDATE
After investigating, I arrived at the following conclusion:
✅ Confirmed: Multi-signature is on the official roadmap of the Pi Core Team
✅ Confirmed: It is documented in the official repository (pi-apps)
✅ Confirmed: Pi already uses Ed25519 (the same encryption as Stellar)
❌ Not confirmed: That it has already been released or is available for use
The last update to the README was in September 2025. That is, the plan already existed before the news in January 2026, but the implementation has not yet happened.
WHAT CHANGES WHEN IT IS RELEASED?
When multi-sig is implemented, it will benefit three groups:
For Regular Users:
Extra protection against single key theft
Shared wallet with a trusted family member
Ideal for those who store large amounts of Pi
For Developers:
Creation of dApps with automated treasuries
Wallets with role-based permissions
Integration via Pi SDK (Rust, Node.js, PHP)
For Businesses:
Treasuries that require multiple approvals (CEO + CFO)
Compliance with regulatory standards
Community governance and DAOs.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
90% of cryptocurrency thefts occur due to the compromise of a single private key. Multi-signature solves this problem.
The Pi Network is preparing for a more robust and secure ecosystem. Even though the function is not yet available, the fact that it is on the official roadmap shows that the Pi Core Team is thinking about long-term security.

CONCLUSION
The multi-signature wallet on the Pi Network is real — but it is still future, not present.
The news exaggerated by saying it was "released". In fact, it is planned for version 0.3.0 of the SDK, which has not yet been released.
But the good news is: it is in the official code. The Pi Core Team is working on it. When it comes out, it will be a significant advancement for the ecosystem's security.
In the meantime, protect your current wallet and keep an eye on real updates.
