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.
Pi Network at Consensus
2026 in Miami
This is Big news:
Why?
Answer: Now the USA 🇺🇸
Will come into Pi Network
Miami is the Crypto Capital of the United States. More people use cryptocurrency in Miami than anywhere in the USA.
Pi Network has secured sponsorship and a main-stage speaking session at Consensus 2026 in Miami (May 5–7, 2026).
Details: Speaking slot on May 6 at the MBCC Convergence Stage (11:15 AM EDT), with a focus on Pi and Artificial Intelligence.
This is a major global blockchain event with ~20,000 attendees and institutions managing trillions in assets.
Why it matters: Pi is back on the big stage — visibility boost, potential for partnerships, and showcasing real utility/Web3 progress. One year of advancement, bigger statement this time.

To complete first or second migrations, Pioneers must set up Pi Wallet two-factor authentication (2FA) through Step 3 of the Mainnet Checklist.
This step is required to further strengthen account and wallet security before real Pi is transferred, an irreversible and immutable blockchain transaction.
To complete 2FA, Pioneers may need to add a trusted email address if one has not been set up yet.
Open Network has officially launched, marking a groundbreaking moment for all Pioneers! With external connectivity now enabled, Pioneers can engage in transactions beyond the Pi ecosystem, connect with KYB-verified businesses, and access new integrations like centralized exchanges.

Pi released a deep-dive case study into the recent proof-of-concept project for a new Pi Node utility that supports decentralized AI training and computing tasks for third-parties using the spare computing capacity of over 421,000 Pi Nodes. In collaboration with OpenMind, a robotics startup invested in by Pi Network Ventures, this project showed that Pi Nodes can process AI-relevant workloads and return useful results quickly. This work is part of and provides insights for the general initiative to integrate Pi into AI infrastructure itself, utilizing distributed computing and enabling authentic human input for AI training, inference, and reinforcement learning. https://t.co/ruh6Z7Qyl0
Happy Pi Day 2026, Pi Network’s 7th official anniversary! Today’s releases introduce new ecosystem capabilities and expand how Pioneers can build, participate, and engage with Pi.
New releases include the introduction of the Token Launchpad on Testnet, Node and protocol upgrades, second migrations, KYC validator rewards, new centralized exchange listing, Mainnet payments in Pi App Studio, and a Pi Day Utility Challenge.

Pi Network is excited to announce that second migrations have started and will continue with a gradual rollout, opening the door for Pioneers to bring additional Pi to Mainnet and further participate in the ecosystem! While second migrations roll out, first migrations for eligible Pioneers will continue as normal.
To be eligible for migrations, Pioneers must set up Pi Wallet two-factor authentication (2FA) through the Mainnet Checklist Step 3. This may include adding a trusted email address to their accounts if not set up yet. 2FA is enforced before migrations to enhance wallet security because transfers on the blockchain are irreversible and immutable.
Second migrations will also include referral mining bonuses attributable to Referral Team members who fully passed KYC. Pioneers should therefore remind their Referral Teams to complete KYC so these bonuses can be migrated.
All major Pi nodes have now been upgraded to version 20.2 and are supporting protocol 20. Pi has also completed the upgrade of its Mainnet blockchain to protocol 20.
Protocol 20 provides the foundation to enable smart contract capabilities, and the rollout of smart contracts will occur gradually, prioritizing categories that align with utility-based product innovation and operations. The specific types of smart contracts featured will depend heavily on the needs arising from the utility creation process.

As announced on Pi Day 2026, the initial version of the Token Launchpad has been released as a Pi App on the Testnet with a test token! Watch the video walkthrough to learn the implemented design in action, and read the blog—originally published in the Pi Day announcement—to understand its deeper meaning. https://t.co/tHRFMspF5x
Pi believes financial literacy is necessary for people to live in an AI-pervasive economy, so Pioneers should start learning today by testing the Testnet Launchpad app through the Pi Browser.
Since Pi Day 2026, Pi Network has continued its gradual rollout of second migrations and referral mining bonuses.
This opens the door for Pioneers to bring additional Pi to Mainnet and further participate in the ecosystem. Note that first migrations still take priority for the network to complete, and second migrations do not impact the rate of first migrations.
