Pi has released several technical updates to KYC and Mainnet migration processes that address specific KYC application corner cases, improve verification processes, and help eligible Pioneers who were previously unable to progress.

KYC and Mainnet migration involve many different checks designed to allow genuine Pioneers to progress while preventing bad actors, bots and those with policy violations.

While most Pioneers move through these processes continuously, certain groups can become stuck because of specific corner cases that require additional evaluation or custom technical solutions.

Pi has introduced new capabilities for developers building on Pi! This includes local storage support, access to app-specific staking data, and file and video sharing.

Pi’s new developer documentation is also now released, providing a single destination for technical resources and a clearer path from getting started to building and launching an app on Pi.

Improving developer tools is important for Pi’s broader focus on utility because they directly affect the types of apps and services that developers can create for the community and beyond.

SoloHost gives Pioneers more ways to use their computers for local AI and easier access to other self-hosted applications, further extending the utility of Pi Desktop and Nodes beyond blockchain infrastructure.

OpenClaw and the Atlassian MCP Server show how SoloHost can support different types of self-hosted software for different user needs, from local AI agents to more specialized developer utilities.

Through SoloHost, people can benefit from AI while keeping more of their data and computation on their own devices and reducing reliance on third-party remote infrastructure.

Following the successful completion of the Protocol 26 upgrade on Pi Mainnet, Pi Testnet is upgrading to Protocol 27!

Protocol 27 introduces more flexible and secure smart contract authentication capabilities, enabling more advanced ways for accounts and applications to authorize transactions. The upgrade continues Pi’s broader work to incorporate newer protocol features and expand the network’s smart contract capabilities.

The target date for the Mainnet upgrade to 27 is September 15, 2026.

Along with the new Node 0.6.2 release, Pi has completed an initial distributed computing functionality test through SoloHost with five volunteer Node runners.

The devices operated by all five participants successfully completed the computing tasks sent to them automatically through a SoloHost app.

The test validated the end-to-end flow of tasks across real devices, including connecting to a Pi coordinator, receiving and processing computing jobs, and reporting results back.

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!
