CiDi Games, a Pi Network Ventures portfolio company, launched their beta app in the Pi Browser!
This brought Pioneers 10 instant-access games along with skill-based tournaments, platform progression through CiDiScore, the Pi ELF companion experience, Elf Continent, and developer infrastructure for Pi-integrated games.
In less than one week after the beta launch, CiDi Games independently attracted over 81,000 Pioneers across 160+ regions and 1.2 million game sessions organically, demonstrating how the Pi Platform can help utility-focused apps reach real users, drive engagement, and monetization, which in turn expands utility across the Pi ecosystem.

For the first time, OKX has made Pi available to millions of people in the US through its platform, adding another access point to the Pi ecosystem for US users.
Pi continues to expand its global network of Pioneers and partners, and strengthen ecosystem participation, utility, and real user adoption across the world.
More users. More usage. Stronger network
The Pi Founders are featured speakers at Consensus 2026 in Miami this week.
Chengdiao Fan will speak on Wednesday, May 6 (11:15โ11:35 AM EDT, Convergence Stage) on โAligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,โ exploring how Piโs blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utilityโdriven products and AIโera business models.
Nicolas Kokkalis will join a panel on Thursday, May 7 (10:15โ10:45 AM EDT, Convergence Stage) titled โHow to Prove Youโre Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself),โ exploring how the internetโs 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 Piโs 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 Piโs native KYC solution.
See you there, Pioneers!
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 donโt 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, itโs already been used to process hundreds of millions of real tasks.
For AI systems, that changes whatโs possible.

The Pi Founders will both take the stage as speakers at the Consensus 2026 conference!
Dr. Chengdiao Fan will deliver a presentation exploring how Piโs blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utility-driven products and AI-era business models.

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.
https://t.co/nLpGQQngvs
Piโs 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.

There are over 18 million identity-verified users on Pi.
But there is one clear difference between Piโs users and others.
1 million verified users on Pi โ 1 million users on other networks.
Most networks measure growth in accounts.
Few measure it in verified users.
Thereโs 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 arenโt 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.
๐ Update on the Upcoming Verification Process
We know many of you are looking forward to verification - and weโre stepping closer to that moment.
This process is designed to be structured, transparent, and fair, ensuring every qualified Human Node moves forward with clarity. Hereโs how the flow will work:
Phase 1: Matching
You begin by tapping ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝMatch Curator.โ
An anonymous list will appear, and you can choose a curator to match with.
After selecting, you enter the matching state and wait to be successfully picked. Once picked, your application advances to the submission stage.
Phase 2: Submission
When itโs your turn, a strict 24-hour countdown will start.
You must complete and submit your documents within this time. Missing the deadline may move you to a later pool, delaying your progress.
There are 3 submission levels. After completing all required steps, you press Submit, and your status changes to In Review.
Phase 3: Verification Process
This is the last stage - your application will be reviewed carefully.
This process is more than a technical update - itโs a defining milestone before full verification rollout.
Prepare early. Understand each phase.
Be ready when your turn comes!
