Congratulations to all our pioneers for being one step closer to the prerequisites for the open mainnet. I believe that the efforts of the team and every pioneer have made this great project a success.
Pi Network is partnering with @openstandard, the company powering Open USD (OUSD), a partner-governed stablecoin designed as open infrastructure!
Open Standard brings together more than 200+ partners across payments, finance, technology, and crypto, including Visa, Google, and Stripe.
OUSD is designed with an incentive model focused on supporting ecosystem growth, and Pi will explore rewards programs for Pioneers and broader utility across the Pi ecosystem.
Look forward to more details about this partnership.
The Pi mining app side menu and app profile page have been redesigned!
As the first step of a broader mining app design refresh, this update makes important Pioneer info and ecosystem features easier to find, understand, and navigate. Tap the hamburger (☰) icon in the top left of the Pi mining app to check it out.
Since the mining app is a central part of the Pioneer experience and its interface has supported the Pi community’s growth to over 60 million engaged Pioneers, changes to its design and user experience must be introduced thoughtfully and iteratively to improve clarity, style and usability while maintaining core functionalities.
Go to the Pi mining app to learn more, and provide feedback on the new design and style!
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.
Stay tuned for the full session video!
Tokenization isn't a concept anymore. Real estate, equities, credit, the infrastructure to put real-world assets on-chain is being built right now.
The Tokenization track at Consensus Miami is where the people building it come to learn, network and deploy. Don't miss it, check the Consensus agenda for all sessions in tokenization.
Presented by @swiftcommunity, @changenow, @hedera, @kula_dao and @t7x0io 🤝
The Pi Founders will both take the stage as speakers at the Consensus 2026 conference!
Dr. Chengdiao Fan will deliver a presentation exploring how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utility-driven products and AI-era business models.
Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis will join a panel discussion on human identity and authenticity in an AI World.
Don’t miss the Founders at Consensus Miami to learn more!

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!
The Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 22 – Deadline: Apr 27.
All Mainnet nodes are required to complete this step before the deadline to remain connected to the network.
Details here: https://t.co/9VehO7hhj1
@PiCoreTeam Excellent. I hope the ecological construction can be implemented as soon as possible, after all, we don't have many seven-year periods to wait for.
What are Pi ecosystem tokens and what is the design thinking for ecosystem tokens on Mainnet?
Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan dives deep into Pi’s unique approach to ecosystem token design — Pi’s focus is not on tokens for their own sake, or on mechanisms and integrations in isolation, but on enabling useful, utility-driven tokens and supporting the real innovation behind them.
Learn more on the specifics of ecosystem token design here. Pioneers are encouraged to comment, discuss with other community members and share specific suggestions on specific sections.

As the new year starts, it’s time to build! Pi Network has released a new developer library that enables Pi payments to be integrated into Pi apps in under ten minutes. The library combines the Pi SDK and backend APIs into a single setup, reducing integration time across common stacks. https://t.co/Ws5eywwGdW
By simplifying payment integration, developers can instead spend more time creating and improving actual products for users, aligning with Pi’s longer term strategy to strengthen and expand Pi’s utility-driven ecosystem. Learn more and check out the documentation and demo videos explaining how to use the library.
Node version 0.5.4 includes a new mechanism that tracks open ports on Pioneers’ Nodes. This update allows for more reliable and secure Node bonus calculations, and is a step towards the larger goal of enabling the migration of Node mining rewards.

Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan speaks at TOKEN2049 Singapore, one of the largest crypto events in the world! Join her talk, "Crypto’s Future: From Liquidity to Utility - Web3 Pathways to Innovation" live from 4:30 - 4:45 PM SGT on October 1, 2025.
A new Fast Track KYC feature, built using more AI in the KYC flow, now allows new Pioneers to activate a Mainnet wallet even before completing 30 mining sessions. https://t.co/rqOjwKtLBn
This means earlier access to Pi apps and ecosystem—without waiting for standard KYC process or full Mainnet migration. Note that the Fast Track KYC feature currently does not enable Mainnet migration. If eligible, you'll see the option in the Pi Wallet app. Read the full blog for details.
Dr. Chengdiao Fan, one of two Founders at Pi Network, will be a speaker at the TOKEN2049 conference, which takes place on October 1-2 in Singapore! https://t.co/URxK409f8C
As one of the largest crypto events in the world, this conference is a great opportunity for Pi Network to engage with the wider blockchain community and to share its unique perspective on real-world utility, community building, and the broader future of blockchain adoption. Learn more about the focus of Dr. Fan’s discussion, and stay tuned for more information!
@LukiSaputr12362 @PiCoreTeam Yes, I completed all the steps, but I waited almost a year for the ninth step. There are not many three to five years to waste in life. Respect your project and respect other people's time.
