🚀 OpenPay Becomes the First Successful Implementation of Pi Network’s New Pi Sign-In Feature
Big news for the Pi ecosystem! 🎉 @PiCoreTeam@OpenPayTeam
OpenPay has successfully implemented and demonstrated Pi Network’s new Pi Sign-In (OAuth) feature, becoming one of the first platforms to showcase the complete authentication flow from an external website to Pi’s official authorization system.
This milestone proves that developers can now integrate secure Pi authentication into their applications while providing users with a seamless login experience.
🔐 What is Pi Sign-In?
Pi Sign-In is Pi Network’s new OAuth-based authentication system, similar to “Sign in with Google” or “Sign in with Apple.” It allows users to securely log into applications using their Pi accounts without sharing passwords with third-party apps.
With Pi Sign-In, users can:
✅ Authenticate using their Pi account
✅ Securely share their Pi username with applications
✅ Sign in faster across the Pi ecosystem
✅ Experience a more seamless Web3 onboarding process
🌟 OpenPay Leads the Way
OpenPay’s implementation demonstrates the entire Pi Sign-In journey:
User selects Continue with Pi (OAuth).
The app redirects to Pi’s official authentication page.
User approves the sign-in request in Pi Browser.
The user is securely redirected back to OpenPay and successfully signed in.
This successful integration showcases the potential of Pi Sign-In for future applications across the Pi ecosystem.
🚀 Why This Matters
The new Pi Sign-In feature opens opportunities for developers to build:
Payment platforms
Web3 applications
Marketplaces
Games
Merchant solutions
Social platforms
all powered by a secure and unified Pi identity system.
OpenPay’s successful deployment serves as a real-world example for developers who want to integrate Pi Sign-In into their own projects and help expand the Pi ecosystem.

Pi Network's final Protocol 23 upgrade lands Monday with smart contracts in tow
@PiCoreTeam confirmed Protocol 23 activates May 18, flipping Pi from a basic mainnet into a programmable L1 with native smart contracts and dApps.
The node deadline was pushed from May 15 to May 19 to keep validators synced, while Pi App Studio now converts AI-generated apps from Claude Code and Codex into Pi-native apps in minutes.
Editor's take: This is potentially the biggest update of the year for crypto.
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.

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.
