Although many people dismiss Pi Network as just a worthless 'air coin' that mines on phones, once CIDIGames launches its games, Pi coin will be able to be directly used for in-game virtual consumption, thanks to its massive social user base and attention economy. The project team can then gradually upgrade the GameFi and metaverse token economy using their own blockchain network and smart contracts, giving Pi real practical utility. At the same time, fun game content will naturally encourage users to actively spend Pi coins, creating a positive cycle. This is exactly how Pi transitions from 'mining' to 'using,' establishing genuine practical value.

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!
