🔥Breaking news: From @PiCoreTeam - #PiNetwork👇
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.

Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan spoke today at Consensus 2026 Miami in her session, “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility.”
Dr. Fan shared how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, identity verification, and a globally engaged network can support utility-driven products and businesses in the AI era.
Her talk built on a central challenge in the broader crypto industry: the frequent misalignment between token design and real innovation. While tokens in the industry have often been used primarily as capital-raising tools or quick exits, Dr. Fan discussed Pi’s approach to treat tokens as tools that can support growth, engagement, and long-term utility.
Pi’s approach to ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms focuses on tokens for user acquisition and integrating token design into the product innovation process. By using tokens to help products acquire real users who can engage, provide feedback, and use those tokens within actual product experiences, this approach connects token design more directly to utility and product development.
More broadly, Dr. Fan’s talk invited discussion on how blockchain can help shape AI-era business models, financial literacy, ownership, and socioeconomic participation. As AI lowers the barrier to building, the focus shifts toward something harder to replicate: real users, real participation, and trusted human input at scale.
Stay tuned for the full session video!
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!
😱 #PiNetwork (@PiCoreTeam) From March 2019 to May 2026: Pi mining speed decreased by 99.90492% <=> 1/1051 👇
✅The opportunity to mine for free is almost closed for newcomers 🙃
Mining speed has decreased by 99.90492% (meaning only about 0.09508% of the original rate remains).
Pi's pre-designed web3 economy roadmap: from widespread distribution to scarcity.
Current mining speed is only about 1/1051 of what it was in March 2019 (almost a complete drop).
Pi Network is a real cryptocurrency project, operating with an Open Network, its own Layer-1 blockchain, wallet, browser, KYC system, and direct integration of Pi web3 HST and other blockchains!
What do you think the rate of Pi decrease and its future value will be? Share your thoughts in the comments!

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 don’t 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, it’s already been used to process hundreds of millions of real tasks.
For AI systems, that changes what’s possible.

🔥Node Operators and App Developers 💥 and #PiCoreTeam:
✅We have built an RPC on a Pi Node and successfully connected it to a Pi Smart Contract as requested by the PiCoreTeam.
To build an RPC on a Pi Node, you need to understand the Stellar and Pi architecture to write the code.
If you need @fireside_pi to build an RPC for you on an active Node and connect it to Pi Smart Contracts, please message me on X. I will program it all for you! (If you agree to contribute a small fee for the programming.)
#PiNetwork #Psmartcontracs #pi #pidex #pirpc #blockchain #pinode #Pidev
Pi’s 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.
Read more in the Pi mining app.
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.
Consensus Miami is getting a slice of Pi!
Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan will speak at Consensus 2026 on Wednesday, May 6, from 11:15–11:35 AM EDT at the Convergence Stage.
#PiNetwork
The Pi Mainnet has successfully upgraded to Protocol 21.
Node operators, please ensure your systems are up to date and stay tuned for instructions regarding the upcoming v22 upgrade.
Pi Network has released an RPC server, currently available on Testnet, supporting the development, testing, and future deployment of smart contracts within the Pi ecosystem.
The RPC server enables developers to build responsive applications, test contract behavior, and integrate services using real-time blockchain data.
Node operators and third-party services can also run their own RPC servers.
Read the blog to learn more, and explore the RPC capabilities as a developer.

💥Wrapped Pi (WPI) Update 🏁🚀
wPI = Wrapped Pi: This is the "wrapped" version of Pi coin from Pi Network.
How it works 👇:
- When a user deposits Pi on Pi Network, the cross-chain relayer will automatically mint (recreate) wPI.
- Conversely, when redeeming, the relayer will burn (discard) wPI.
Smart contracts for the WPI token are currently under development.
✅A significant step forward for DeFi Pi Network!

🔥 Breaking news! @PiCoreTeam -💥 Escrow Smart Contract in Pi Network – The "smart vault" holding funds in escrow on the Pi blockchain.🚀
Everything is transparent, automated, and no one (including the Pi team) can arbitrarily access or modify it. Read and share👇
✔️ Main Purposes:
- Buying and selling NFTs, tokens, and digital assets
- Milestone payments
- Service contracts, investments, and partnerships
- Support for launchpads and other DeFi features
Operates through 4 distinct states on the chain:
- Create: Creates the contract and records the conditions
- Lock: Locks the funds (the funds are held securely)
- Release: Automatically or conditionally → payment to the recipient
- Dispute/Cancel: Dispute or cancellation → refund or arbitration
The entire process is permanently recorded on the blockchain, and anyone can verify it.
Before official release:
- Must have a 100% clear state machine
- Strict security audit to avoid errors and abuse Uses
👉 In short: Escrow allows two parties to transact safely, quickly, and transparently without needing to trust each other.
💥 In the next article, I will analyze smart contracts: Staking, Rewards, Dividends, and Launchpad. If you are a Pioneer interested in these types of contracts and their features, don't miss out! Follow and turn on notifications @fireside_pi
