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

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

Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis spoke today at Consensus 2026 Miami on the panel, “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself).” The discussion focused on one of the most urgent challenges in the AI era: how to maintain trust and verify real human identity as AI systems become capable of generating convincing bots, profiles, and interactions at scale. Stay tuned for the full video!

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!

The first session on our dedicated AI track, sponsored by @PiCoreTeam, asks the trillion-dollar question: What’s the Framework for Agentic Payments? Agentic experts from across the industry share their takes: @programmer of @CoinbaseDev & x402, @0xbury of @virtuals_io, @lei_lei0904 of @GoKiteAI, @rohinlohe of @cloudfare, moderated by Carole House of Penumbra Strategies

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!

Open Network has officially launched, marking a groundbreaking moment for all Pioneers! With external connectivity now enabled, Pioneers can engage in transactions beyond the Pi ecosystem, connect with KYB-verified businesses, and access new integrations like centralized exchanges. Want to explore all the new possibilities? Go to the Pi mining app home screen to watch a video from Pi Network founder, Chengdiao Fan, and read the official announcement. Discover how Open Network unlocks a new era for Pi and how you can be part of it!

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.
