Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan’s talk at Consensus 2026 was centred on a simple but important challenge:
The frequent misalignment between token design and real product innovation.
Her presentation, “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,” explored how tokens can be treated as tools that can support user acquisition, product engagement, and long-term utility.
One implementation of this approach is Pi Launchpad, Pi’s design for ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms that aims to help products acquire real users who can engage, provide feedback, and use those tokens within actual product experiences.
As AI makes it easier to build applications, the limiting factor is no longer creation.
It is distribution and usage.
Pi’s approach combines blockchain infrastructure, innovative token and launch mechanisms, identity verification, and a large engaged network of real users to address that gap directly.
Enjoy the full talk & leave your thoughts on Pi’s approach to tokens and launch mechanisms!

Straight talk on facts
Pi Network still has this much attention after all these years needs to be studied
Most people still don’t believe Pi Network will ever become anything serious
which is exactly why topic never dies
@Szymansk_ii But anytime you make a post, you must say things unnecessary, all these things for years now. That's the same thing you keep saying. It doesn't make sense anymore.
@Szymansk_ii I never believed in GCV price, and I'm an earlier pioneer who started mining late 2019. But I've been seeing your posts for the longest time saying things about these GCV things. Bro, just move on. Let them believe what they want to believe. You keep educating your audience
