Pi is tackling one of the most urgent problems in the AI era: proving real human identity online. Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis will speak on a panel at Consensus 2026 on Thursday, May 7, from 10:15-10:45 AM EDT at the Convergence Stage. The session, “How to Prove You're Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself),” explores how the internet’s trust model is breaking as AI systems become capable of creating bots that can generate profiles and interact like real users. At the core of the discussion is a simple challenge: how do you verify a real human online without exposing private identity data? Want to know how? Join us in Miami on May 7th! See you there!

Pi’s first smart contract capability is now live on Testnet: subscriptions! This fosters real, recurring, utility-driven use cases. Think e-commerce, streaming, online tools, and more, powered on-chain. Read more in the Pi mining app.

The Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 22 – Deadline: Apr 27. All Mainnet nodes are required to complete this step before the deadline to remain connected to the network. Details here: minepi.com/pi-node

There are over 18 million identity-verified users on Pi. But there is one clear difference between Pi’s users and others. 1 million verified users on Pi ≠ 1 million users on other networks. Most networks measure growth in accounts. Few measure it in verified users. There’s a difference. Pi recognized the importance of identity verification early on and that unverified account creation is simply not enough. Verified identities are needed for any meaningful transactions, especially in real-world economies. Any time an asset (like crypto, fiat currency, property, etc.) is transferred, it raises a basic question of identity: who is sending it, and who is receiving it. If those identities aren’t clear, it becomes difficult to trust that the transfer is valid or that it went to the right person. Therefore, Pi Network has built a fully KYC-verified Mainnet ecosystem. Because when users are verified: Spam drops. Trust increases. Utility becomes more reliable.

🧑‍💻 An Update from the CEO Over the last two days, we made the decision to continue — and more importantly, we acted on it. We have already restructured the company and reduced operating costs from roughly $400,000 per month to around $45,000 per month. This was not easy, but it was necessary. We moved fast, cut deep, and focused only on what is essential. The last four years taught us many lessons, but one stands above all: A good idea means nothing if execution is too slow. That is the lesson we are taking forward into this next chapter. Our priority now is simple: focus on a fresh direction that can rebuild trust in the community while also generating real revenue for the company. We are no longer interested in wasting time, energy, or capital on anything that does not directly move us closer to product-market fit and sustainable growth. I will personally be joining the development effort to help bring this next product to market as fast as possible and to work directly with the team on execution. We are not going to repeat the mistake of overpromising before delivery. We will not reveal what we are building until it is ready. For those who still believe in us, stay with us a little longer — and when the time comes, we will show you. To move faster, we will be building this product in a closed-source environment during development. That decision is purely about speed and execution. Right now, shipping matters more than optics. Once we are live, we can focus on opening things up properly. We are now a smaller team, made up primarily of developers, and our time will be spent exactly where it should be spent: building. No distractions. No wasted effort. No unnecessary overhead. Just execution. Whether people choose to stand with us or not, we are moving forward with this plan. We are going to take this shot and see it through. Once the product is live, it will be something that can be marketed far beyond the crypto industry, which gives us a much stronger path toward real adoption and sustainable company revenue. At this moment, the company still holds a little over 1 billion $ION. These tokens will be used only to cover essential development and infrastructure costs. Because the previous service agreement has ended and that external funding is no longer available, we will be activating an automatic daily sale of $1,500 worth of tokens to help fund operations at the current market price. This is not a choice we make lightly, but it is the practical path that allows us to keep building over the coming months. Over the next 4 to 8 weeks, you should expect to see major changes across the website, the whitepaper, and most importantly, the launch of the first version of the new product. Our goal is clear: go live fast, get real feedback fast, and scale 10x faster than we did in the past. What we are building is a real utility product with real-world use, something unique within crypto and something we believe the market genuinely needs. Once it goes live, we believe adoption can accelerate faster than anything we have done before — because for the first time, our growth will be driven by real utility and real demand, not just belief alone. To everyone who has stood by us for the past four years: thank you. Give us 4 to 8 more weeks. That is all we ask. Stay with us, watch what we build, and witness how we turn the hardest moment in this project’s history into the foundation of its strongest chapter. We are still here. We are still building. And we are not done yet. Thank you for the support.

Consensus Miami is getting a slice of Pi! Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan will speak at Consensus 2026 on Wednesday, May 6, from 11:15–11:35 AM EDT at the Convergence Stage. As AI dramatically lowers the barriers to building products, competition increasingly centers on authentic data, user acquisition, and trusted human participation. Chengdiao’s presentation will explore how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utility‑driven products and AI‑era business models. The session presents a fresh perspective on crypto tokens not as exits, but as tools for sustainable growth and real‑world adoption. See you all there!

The Pi Mainnet has successfully upgraded to Protocol 21. Node operators, please ensure your systems are up to date and stay tuned for instructions regarding the upcoming v22 upgrade.

✨ After listening to the community, we’ve made our decision: We stay. We build. We win. We’re restructuring the company from the ground up. Cutting waste. Dropping distractions. Doubling down on what actually matters. No more dead weight. No more inefficient spending. No more side paths. Just a leaner team, better execution, and total focus on scaling. This is not the end of anything. It’s the beginning of a stronger chapter. $ION is here to stay. The road to $1B market cap begins now.

🔥 As mentioned, we’re actively working on it. Real usage, weekly buybacks, and growing impact across the ecosystem. 
This is how we build through market conditions.

🤖 We’ve seen your comments and messages. Some think we slowed down or stopped building. The reality is the opposite. We’re fully focused and moving faster than ever. 👨🏻‍💻 Today we’re opening another repository, showing the progress from the past weeks and making public the new AI-built ecosystem, including both backend and frontend for Online+ and the ION dApp Framework. github.com/ice-blockchain… This is real work, real code, and real progress. You can see it for yourself. We’re here. We’re building.

📉 We see the price action. We’re not ignoring it. There are whales moving, liquidity shifting, and it looks like coordinated activity in the market. This is outside our direct control, but how we respond is not. There are ~11B $ION in circulation, with more than half already on the ION chain. No new coins are being minted. What we’re seeing is movement through bridging, not dilution. On our side, we are taking action today. We’re working closely with @baomarkets and @bao_rush to drive buybacks, burns, and real usage across the ecosystem. We’ll keep building, integrating, and pushing forward.

👨🏻‍💻 What used to take months, even a year to build, was delivered in just 2 weeks.

🚀 A major breakthrough for Ice Open Network. ice.io/ion-pulse-the-… Introducing ION Pulse, our decentralized database powering the next generation of scalable Web3 applications. 👨🏻‍💻 What used to take months, even a year to build, was delivered in just 2 weeks. This is the new speed of building. Extremely proud of the team.

Ice Open Network data is now officially live on #CoinGecko 🚀 Tracking the real-time total supply of ION is already adjusted after $ION burns 🔥 Goodluck to @ice_blockchain
