Welcome to Pi College, in the next pI college you will learn more about what you want to know, and the secrets of the Pi network you should know, come here and
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.

Why Pi Network?
Because Pi is not just a coin — it’s a vision for an inclusive and sustainable digital economy.
Most other projects (#SUI, #ETHFi, #ARB, #OP…) are focused on:
— Technical superiority
— Developer-driven growth
— Speculative capital movements
What makes Pi Network different?
✔ Mobile-first accessibility
✔ A real community of 50M+ pioneers
✔ Energy-efficient mining
✔ Usage-based adoption, not just circulation
✔ CDLP: a community-driven economic model
✔ Built for everyone — users, merchants, and developers alike
Many projects today are investment tools.
Pi, on the other hand, is infrastructure, participation, and a movement.
The future belongs to solutions that empower people — not just investors.
That’s why Pi Network is not just a coin, it’s a participatory system.
Watch Nicolas Kokkalis, Pi Founder and Head of Technology, discuss the .pi Domains Auction, the newest platform-level utility that translates Pi’s collective resources into network-wide utilities.

Number one, it's a great product, as good as it gets—and number two, because @ElonMusk has devoted his energy and his life to doing this and I think he has been treated very unfairly…
