Network Update: Upgrade to protocol 24 has been completed successfully.
Great job to all Nodes! This was one of the most challenging migrations.
Next up will be v25, deadline June 18.
🚀 Great News for Users with Burned Recovery Rewards Before Private Mainnet
This is also a great opportunity for active Human Nodes to improve their Active Referral Rate.
With the latest update, claiming burned recovery rewards is now much simpler. Users no longer need to maintain an uninterrupted mining streak. Instead, they only need to accumulate mining sessions as usual. Recovery rewards can then be claimed through a much more user-friendly process, reducing the pressure and frustration caused by accidentally losing a streak.
@inter_link understands that everyone faces different challenges in life whether it’s health issues, work commitments, family responsibilities, or other personal circumstances. Being overly strict with users can sometimes feel more like punishment than encouragement. A more open and flexible approach helps strengthen the network and supports long-term growth.
We have also improved the user interface and added additional notifications to make the recovery process easier and more transparent. Furthermore, users who accumulate enough mining sessions will be able to claim not only their current recovery rewards but also all lower recovery tiers they qualify for.
In addition, we are exploring the possibility of introducing protection days for users who have consistently contributed to the network, based on recommendations from members of the community.
Our goal is simple: make the network stronger, more inclusive, and more rewarding for everyone who continues to contribute., claiming burned recovery rewards is now much simpler. Users no longer need to maintain an uninterrupted mining streak. Instead, they only need to accumulate mining sessions as usual. Recovery rewards can then be claimed through a much more user-friendly process, reducing the pressure and frustration caused by accidentally losing a streak.

The Era of InterLink Ecosystem Building Starts Now
Next week, we will officially announce the first dApp to receive investment and incubation support from @itl_fdn.
This is just the beginning.
dApps are the lifeblood of any blockchain network. Every dApp built on InterLink Chain creates new demand for $ITL, new utility for verified users, and new reasons for the world to choose the Human Network over any alternative.
Payments. Commerce. DeFi. AI agents. Gaming. Identity. RWA. The surface area of what can be built here is enormous.
Our goal is not to build every application ourselves. Our goal is to create the conditions where tens of thousands of builders, backed by funding, infrastructure, and ecosystem support from @itl_fdn, can bring their best ideas to life on top of @inter_link.
The first dApp is a milestone. But the vision is an ecosystem that rivals the best in the world.
Thousands of dApps. Millions of users. One Human Network.

CiDi Games organically reached over 81,000 users across 160+ countries in less than a week after launching its beta in the Pi ecosystem.
That led to:
1.2M+ game sessions
21,000+ tournament participants
3.19M+ Pi staked by the community to support the platform.
What makes this important is not just the gaming activity itself.
It is what the launch demonstrates about building on Pi.
Apps built on Pi launch directly into a network with existing distribution, engagement, and infrastructure already in place.
As AI lowers the barrier to building apps, ecosystems with real users like Pi become increasingly valuable for developers.

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.

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.
