CiDi Games organically reached over 81,000 users across 160+ countries in less than a week after launching its beta in the Pi ecosystem.
That led to:
1.2M+ game sessions
21,000+ tournament participants
3.19M+ Pi staked by the community to support the platform.
What makes this important is not just the gaming activity itself.
It is what the launch demonstrates about building on Pi.
Apps built on Pi launch directly into a network with existing distribution, engagement, and infrastructure already in place.
As AI lowers the barrier to building apps, ecosystems with real users like Pi become increasingly valuable for developers.

Hier, j’ai eu l’honneur de recevoir l’appel d’un ministre avec qui j’ai échangé sur un sujet important : les cryptomonnaies, leurs avantages et la technologie blockchain.
À l’issue de cette discussion, j’ai été intégré à leur équipe d’étude afin de contribuer à l’analyse de cette innovation. L’objectif est de parvenir à des conclusions d’ici le mois de mars. Si les résultats sont concluants, cela pourrait ouvrir la voie à une réglementation des cryptomonnaies dans son pays.
L’avenir se construit aujourd’hui grâce à l’innovation, à l’éducation et à la collaboration.

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!

Watch Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis speak in the Consensus 2026 panel “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself)”.
The discussion focused on how digital trust and identity verification systems must evolve as AI makes it possible to generate bots, agents, and synthetic identities that closely resemble real human behavior at scale.
The panel explored a core question for the AI era: how systems can continue to verify real human participation without requiring unnecessary disclosure of personal information.
A key theme was that proof of humanity is context-dependent, with different systems requiring different levels of verification depending on use case and risk.
The importance of privacy-preserving design was also highlighted, ensuring verification can scale while remaining usable for real users.
As AI lowers the barrier to building and interacting online, the harder challenge may be connecting digital systems to real users, trusted participation, and meaningful utility.
Pi’s Layer 1 blockchain, identity verification, payments infrastructure, non-custodial wallets, smart contracts, and engaged global community are all part of Pi’s ongoing work to address that challenge.

Wyoming didn’t wait for Washington to figure out digital assets. We built the framework ourselves. I didn’t come to the U.S. Senate to slow that down, I came here to scale it—and that’s exactly what my bill, the Clarity Act, does.
Notre combat dans le Web3 ne se limite pas à la tokenisation. Il vise également à résoudre de nombreux autres défis qui seront intégrés dans cette dynamique d’amélioration. Parmi eux, la lutte contre la désinformation sur Internet occupe une place importante. À l’avenir, la propagation de fausses informations ne devrait plus être aussi dominante qu’aujourd’hui. Les créateurs de contenu ne pourront plus facilement tirer profit de la diffusion d’informations trompeuses ou mensongères. L’objectif est de construire un écosystème plus transparent, plus responsable et plus fiable pour tous.
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.

Honestly, a lot of people are missing what this couple actually presented at #Consensus2026. Yet it’s something truly powerful. I’ve rarely seen a vision this coherent and well thought out.
You can clearly feel a shift happening: less speculation, the end of identity-less blockchains, the decline of useless projects, and even a rethink of traditional exchanges.
What’s being built now goes beyond hype. It’s a new phase—more solid, more regulated, and designed for the long term. #PiNetwork 🫡

Yesterday, during a meeting focused on crypto and blockchain technology, I had the opportunity to exchange with several pioneers. What really stood out to me is that some people had never been exposed to crypto before, yet they were able to easily understand Pi and start mining directly from their phones.
Even older participants felt comfortable and were genuinely excited about how simple Pi is to use. This raises an important question: are we witnessing a real revolution in crypto adoption, or just a more accessible form of mining?

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.

Quelqu’un vient de retrouver un magasin en Chine grâce à Map of Pi… et ça marche vraiment. Cela prouve que Pi, ce n’est pas juste une crypto. C’est un écosystème avec des applications utiles et accessibles, comme Map of Pi,qui connecte les gens aux commerces réels
Pionniers, mettez vos infos correctement
Les gens font des recherches
Soyez visibles.
L’adoption commence déjà 🚀

@djamil_Y@PiCoreTeam Il est normal de s'entendre à une hausse de prix surtout lors de #Piday malheureusement selon l'évolution actuelle du prix rien n'a été divulgué par ct concernant la hausse de prix. Laissez la spéculation faire son boulot
