@PiCoreTeam Only updates come but our tentative problem is not being solved.

AI is creating a new wave of builders. People are turning ideas into apps faster than ever before. But most creators still face the same problem after building: How do you actually reach users? Pi App Studio can now help close that gap. Creators can now take apps built with external AI coding tools and connect them directly into an ecosystem with: 60M+ engaged users Integrated payments Decentralized human workforce Platform-level infrastructure If you know builders, vibe coders, indie creators, or AI communities looking for distribution and real users, share this with them. The next generation of apps will come from more people than ever before. Now they need places where those apps can actually be used. Read more: minepi.com/blog/vibe-code…

@PiCoreTeam Only updates come but our tentative problem is not being solved.

Big kudos to Mainnet Node operators for upgrading to v23. Most major Nodes have now been upgraded, and the protocol is expected to move to v23 soon. This was one of the most challenging upgrades to date, as it involved multiple subsystem upgrades and optimizations that required internal data reprocessing. Protocol 22 -> 23, Ubuntu 20 -> 24, PostgreSQL 12 -> 16

As some Pioneers may have noticed, affiliate badges have recently been assigned to the Pi Founders’ official X accounts. This helps you identify their only real accounts!

@PiCoreTeam The same update is being given many times but nothing is working.

Reminder: All Mainnet nodes are required to complete the Protocol 23 upgrade by May 15, 2026 to remain connected to the network. This upgrade takes longer to complete, so please plan ahead. Details: minepi.com/pi-node

Here is last month's Network Update! Over 100,000 Pioneers have been KYC'd and over 30,000 migrated to Mainnet.

Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan spoke today at Consensus 2026 Miami in her session, “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility.” Dr. Fan shared how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, identity verification, and a globally engaged network can support utility-driven products and businesses in the AI era. Her talk built on a central challenge in the broader crypto industry: the frequent misalignment between token design and real innovation. While tokens in the industry have often been used primarily as capital-raising tools or quick exits, Dr. Fan discussed Pi’s approach to treat tokens as tools that can support growth, engagement, and long-term utility. Pi’s approach to ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms focuses on tokens for user acquisition and integrating token design into the product innovation process. By using tokens to help products acquire real users who can engage, provide feedback, and use those tokens within actual product experiences, this approach connects token design more directly to utility and product development. More broadly, Dr. Fan’s talk invited discussion on how blockchain can help shape AI-era business models, financial literacy, ownership, and socioeconomic participation. As AI lowers the barrier to building, the focus shifts toward something harder to replicate: real users, real participation, and trusted human input at scale. Stay tuned for the full session video!

@PiCoreTeam While promoting "verified identity" at Consensus, many of us are still stuck in Tentative KYC for months with no progress. Please prioritize the backlog.

The Pi Founders are featured speakers at Consensus 2026 in Miami this week. Chengdiao Fan will speak on Wednesday, May 6 (11:15–11:35 AM EDT, Convergence Stage) on “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,” exploring how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utility‑driven products and AI‑era business models. Nicolas Kokkalis will join a panel on Thursday, May 7 (10:15–10:45 AM EDT, Convergence Stage) titled “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself),” exploring 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. Together, these sessions highlight Pi’s approach to the AI era: supporting utility-driven products and sustainable business models through blockchain, verified identity, and a globally engaged network, while enabling global identity verification and providing authenticity solutions through Pi’s native KYC solution. See you there, Pioneers!

The expansion of @Livepeer from a transcoding network to a realtime AI video infrastructure is well underway. Here are some of the highlights, and some of the upcoming challenges for the ecosystem: Highlights: * AI fees represent over 60% of the share of the network. * Quarterly fee capture at an all time high. * Diverse AI job types from generative realtime AI video and world models, to embodied agents, to LLM inference for OpenClaw, to audio and media generation. * Inflation rate decreasing daily for 6 months+ and continuing to fall. * Agent-based network access through MCPs and skill files. Challenges ahead: * AI apps built on the network moving from development and beta into scaled production use with product market fit. * Eliminate or reduce circular fees (Gateways using only their own hardware and not falling over to broader network for scale.) * Better DevX for using the Network as a Product. See @MessariCrypto Q1 2026 report on Livepeer below.

@PiCoreTeam While promoting 18M+ verified users for AI business, millions of Pioneers including me are still stuck in Tentative KYC for many months with no progress. Please prioritize clearing the Tentative backlog.

Most AI systems still need good human input. Automated training can scale. But it struggles with: Ambiguity Nuance Real-world judgment That’s why human-in-the-loop systems still matter. Not as a fallback. But as a core layer. The challenge isn’t whether human input is needed. It’s how to get it: At scale With quality From real people That’s the bottleneck, and Pi Network has already built the solution: the large-scale, globally distributed workforce of identity-verified human participants already active inside the Pi ecosystem. minepi.com/blog/pi-for-ai/

AI companies can access Pi’s human input infrastructure through the network’s over 18 million identity-verified Pioneers to improve models, tune inference quality, and scale data labeling and evaluation. Read the announcement to learn more about how Pi can provide such services for AI companies, and share it with AI companies that may be interested! minepi.com/blog/pi-for-ai/

526 million human KYC validation tasks have already been completed on Pi. By over 1 million verified people. AI is advancing quickly. But the hardest part of building reliable systems is still deeply human. Models don’t improve from compute alone. They improve from: Judgment Correction Context Nuance Pi represents something different. A globally distributed, identity-verified human workforce that has already demonstrated coordination at scale, already active in the Pi ecosystem. This is real infrastructure, it’s already been used to process hundreds of millions of real tasks. For AI systems, that changes what’s possible. Go to the Pi mining app home screen to learn more.

The Pi Founders will both take the stage as speakers at the Consensus 2026 conference! Dr. Chengdiao Fan will deliver a presentation exploring how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utility-driven products and AI-era business models.

@PiCoreTeam When will the tentative cases be resolved?

To open the Testnet subscription smart contract to technical review and community feedback, Pi has released the second Pi Request for Comment (PiRC2). Developers are encouraged to try integrating subscriptions in their own apps, review the subscription contract design, and test for bugs or edge cases, if any. github.com/PiNetwork/PiRC…
