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.

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.

AI is creating a new wave of builders.

People are turning ideas into apps faster than ever before.

But most creators still face the same problem after building:

How do you actually reach users?

Pi App Studio can now help close that gap.

Creators can now take apps built with external AI coding tools and connect them directly into an ecosystem with:

60M+ engaged users
Integrated payments
Decentralized human workforce
Platform-level infrastructure

If you know builders, vibe coders, indie creators, or AI communities looking for distribution and real users, share this with them.

The next generation of apps will come from more people than ever before.

Now they need places where those apps can actually be used.

Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis spoke today at Consensus 2026 Miami on the panel, “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself).”

The discussion focused on one of the most urgent challenges in the AI era: how to maintain trust and verify real human identity as AI systems become capable of generating convincing bots, profiles, and interactions at scale.

Stay tuned for the full video!

✨ Some of you may think we went silent because we stopped working on ION.

We didn’t.

As we said weeks ago, we are still here, still building, and still fighting to put the project back on the right path.

Yes, the team is smaller now. But I still believe this team is capable of doing something powerful once the work we’ve been doing is ready to be shown publicly.

In the past, you were used to weekly bulletins, timelines, updates, and constant transparency.

That changes now.

We will no longer share every step, every internal milestone, or every expected timeline before things are ready. We learned the hard way that too much transparency can sometimes create more damage than trust, especially when technical delays happen and people turn unfinished work into FUD.

This period may look difficult from the outside, but I believe it will make the community stronger. It will separate the noise from the believers, the bad mouths from the builders, and the short-term panic from the long-term vision.

Our focus now is simple: build products that generate real revenue, so we never end up in this position again.

Big changes are coming. The website will be updated. The whitepaper will be updated. And when the time is right, the new direction will be clear.

One lesson I learned personally: never brag before the product is ready. If what we are building was easy, everyone would have done it already.

Right now, words will not convince everyone. And that is fine.

Because if our plan works and we execute it properly, the results will speak louder than any post.

We are not building only for crypto users.

We are building something that can scale beyond crypto, cheaper, faster, and with real utility.

Silence does not mean surrender.

It means focus.

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!

Seeing 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 in a bridge-related token flow does not expose a “hidden wallet.” It exposes a lack of understanding of how bridge contracts work.

The null address is used to represent mint and burn events. That is standard behavior in cross-chain token infrastructure.

So when someone looks at a burn/mint bridge flow and asks, “where is the original wallet behind the null address?”, they are asking the wrong question because the null address is not a user wallet.

It is amazing how quickly some people jump to accusations before understanding even the most basic contract mechanics.

The community deserves facts, not theatrics from people misreading standard bridge behavior.

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.

🏦 Not everyone has the capital to trade futures at the level they want.

That’s why we partnered with @BaoMarkets to give the #ION community access to a simpler path toward larger crypto trading accounts.

Whitelist is now open: https://t.co/jR3nuWA2TA

#BaoTrader is a Hong Kong-based company offering programs across 50+ crypto pairs and account sizes of up to $200,000. For the average user, that means you do not need a large starting balance to begin. If you trade responsibly and meet the platform’s rules, you can unlock access to a much larger trading account.

The platform is going live next week, and users who join the waiting list now lock in a 100% bonus on their first package, meaning if you select one package size, you receive double the account size for that specific plan at launch.

As part of this partnership, $ION will be integrated into Bao Trader’s ecosystem with real platform utility, while the platform revenue will also support $ION buy-backs over time.
