To open the Testnet subscription smart contract to technical review and community feedback, Pi has released the second Pi Request for Comment (PiRC2).
Developers are encouraged to try integrating subscriptions in their own apps, review the subscription contract design, and test for bugs or edge cases, if any.

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.

526 million human KYC validation tasks have already been completed on Pi.
By over 1 million verified people.
AI is advancing quickly.
But the hardest part of building reliable systems is still deeply human.
Models don’t improve from compute alone.
They improve from:
Judgment
Correction
Context
Nuance
Pi represents something different.
A globally distributed, identity-verified human workforce that has already demonstrated coordination at scale, already active in the Pi ecosystem.
This is real infrastructure, it’s already been used to process hundreds of millions of real tasks.
For AI systems, that changes what’s possible.
Go to the Pi mining app home screen to learn more.
AI companies can access Pi’s human input infrastructure through the network’s over 18 million identity-verified Pioneers to improve models, tune inference quality, and scale data labeling and evaluation.
Read the announcement to learn more about how Pi can provide such services for AI companies, and share it with AI companies that may be interested!

Most AI systems still need good human input.
Automated training can scale.
But it struggles with:
Ambiguity
Nuance
Real-world judgment
That’s why human-in-the-loop systems still matter.
Not as a fallback. But as a core layer.
The challenge isn’t whether human input is needed.
It’s how to get it:
At scale
With quality
From real people
That’s the bottleneck, and Pi Network has already built the solution: the large-scale, globally distributed workforce of identity-verified human participants already active inside the Pi ecosystem.

Network Update: The Pi Mainnet has successfully upgraded to Protocol 22!
Node operators, please ensure your systems are up to date and stay tuned for instructions regarding the upcoming v23 upgrade.
@BeeNetworkInfo If I may advice doing this is totally wrong, people may start suspecting that after almost 5yrs you still ask users to upgrade don't make user to start remembering what has happened in telegram stuffs
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!
Pi’s first smart contract capability is now live on Testnet: subscriptions!
This fosters real, recurring, utility-driven use cases.
Think e-commerce, streaming, online tools, and more, powered on-chain.

Today, we stood inside classrooms where dreams sit on No desks or chairs. We saw eager eyes where resources are missing. This isn’t just about schools it’s about futures. We’re here to rebuild more than walls; we’re here to give these kids the chance they deserve.
XM Charity Foundation.
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.

Consensus Miami is getting a slice of Pi!
Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan will speak at Consensus 2026 on Wednesday, May 6, from 11:15–11:35 AM EDT at the Convergence Stage.
As AI dramatically lowers the barriers to building products, competition increasingly centers on authentic data, user acquisition, and trusted human participation.
Chengdiao’s presentation will explore how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utility‑driven products and AI‑era business models.
The session presents a fresh perspective on crypto tokens not as exits, but as tools for sustainable growth and real‑world adoption.
See you all there!
There are over 18 million identity-verified users on Pi.
But there is one clear difference between Pi’s users and others.
1 million verified users on Pi ≠ 1 million users on other networks.
Most networks measure growth in accounts.
Few measure it in verified users.
There’s a difference.
Pi recognized the importance of identity verification early on and that unverified account creation is simply not enough. Verified identities are needed for any meaningful transactions, especially in real-world economies.
Any time an asset (like crypto, fiat currency, property, etc.) is transferred, it raises a basic question of identity: who is sending it, and who is receiving it. If those identities aren’t clear, it becomes difficult to trust that the transfer is valid or that it went to the right person.
Therefore, Pi Network has built a fully KYC-verified Mainnet ecosystem.
Because when users are verified:
Spam drops.
Trust increases.
Utility becomes more reliable.
I’m building an Estate called “Blockchain Estate.
Each house will be uniquely identified using the names of popular crypto coins and tokens instead of traditional numbers.
And when done you can only purchase with Crypto.
PRESS STATEMENT
29-03-2026
RESIGNATION FROM THE NEW NIGERIA PEOPLE’S PARTY (NNPP)
I wish to formally announce my resignation from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) with immediate effect.
I seize this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for the honour and privilege of serving as the Party’s National Leader and its Presidential Candidate in the 2023 General Elections. As a committed and bonafide member of the party, this was not an easy decision to make.
However, considering the current trajectory of the nation’s political landscape, which calls for strategic realignment, I have found it necessary to identify with another political platform that offers the best opportunity to effectively change the nation.
I extend my deepest appreciation to the National Chairman, Ajuji Ahmed and the entire National Working Committee for their steadfast support throughout my time. I also thank the Board of Trustees, the National Executive Committee, and all levels of leadership across the party — from the ward to the state level, as well as the legacy members of the party and all followers of the Kwankwasiyya Movement for their dedication and commitment to our shared mission.
We shall continue to collaborate and work together towards charting a better and more prosperous future for our dear nation.
Signed,
Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, PhD, FNSE
Former Kano State Governor,
2023 Presidential Candidate,
New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP)
@Beenetworkintl Continue building is your time, from what I am seeing bee network might be another long time project that could come to fruition in 10 to 20yrs to come just to your time and build
