About Pi Rescue

Pi Rescue is an emergency recovery tool designed to help users protect locked Pi balances at the moment they unlock, especially in situations where a wallet may be compromised or at risk.

Operational Limits and Abuse Prevention

Pi Rescue is intentionally time-restricted to reduce misuse and prevent automated abuse of the Pi network.

• The rescue process can only be armed within 5 minutes before a scheduled unlock.
• Once the balance unlocks, Pi Rescue will attempt to claim the balance for up to 5 minutes.
• If the claim does not succeed within that window, the process stops automatically.

These limits exist to ensure Pi Rescue is used strictly for legitimate recovery scenarios and not as a general-purpose automation or monitoring tool.

How to Use Pi Rescue

1. Enter your secret key
   Only do this if you understand the risk and need to perform an emergency recovery.
2. Enter the destination address
   This is the wallet (G… or M…) where the unlocked balance will be sent.
3. Select the transaction fee
   Choose a lower fee to save cost or a higher fee to prioritize speed near unlock time.
4. Check the next unlock
   Load the next scheduled unlock to confirm timing and amount.
5. Arm the bot
   Pi Rescue will prepare to act within the allowed time window.
6. Good luck
   Claims are time-critical and depend on network conditions.

Pi Wallet Update

Recent updates to the Pi Wallet now allow users to view and access their wallet secret key directly inside the Pi Browser.

Previously, users had to derive their secret key using recovery phrases or external tools. Because the secret is now available directly from the Pi Wallet, those steps are no longer required for most users.

This change reduces friction and removes the need for third-party key derivation in normal recovery scenarios.

About the Offline Key Tool

The offline key recovery tool was created at a time when the Pi Wallet did not expose the wallet secret key to users. It provided a way to derive the secret key locally from 12 or 24 recovery words without trusting any website.

Since the Pi Wallet now allows users to view their secret key directly, this tool is no longer required for most users. It remains available as an advanced and educational utility for those who wish to understand or verify key derivation independently.

The tool should only be used by experienced users on secure, offline systems.

Risks and Limitations

• Once Pi is unlocked and sent, it cannot be recovered.
• Incorrect destination addresses result in permanent loss.
• Network congestion or fee spikes may cause missed claims.
• Pi Rescue cannot recover balances that have already been drained.

Best Practices

• Always send rescued Pi to a wallet you fully control.
• Use a muxed address (M…) when depositing to exchanges.
• Do not reuse compromised wallets.
• Clear the page and close the browser after rescue actions.
