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.

Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan’s talk at Consensus 2026 was centred on a simple but important challenge:

The frequent misalignment between token design and real product innovation.

Her presentation, “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,” explored how tokens can be treated as tools that can support user acquisition, product engagement, and long-term utility.

One implementation of this approach is Pi Launchpad, Pi’s design for ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms that aims to help products acquire real users who can engage, provide feedback, and use those tokens within actual product experiences.

As AI makes it easier to build applications, the limiting factor is no longer creation.

It is distribution and usage.

Pi’s approach combines blockchain infrastructure, innovative token and launch mechanisms, identity verification, and a large engaged network of real users to address that gap directly.

Enjoy the full talk & leave your thoughts on Pi’s approach to tokens and launch mechanisms!

Big kudos to Mainnet Node operators for upgrading to v23.

Most major Nodes have now been upgraded, and the protocol is expected to move to v23 soon.

This was one of the most challenging upgrades to date, as it involved multiple subsystem upgrades and optimizations that required internal data reprocessing.

Protocol 22 -> 23, Ubuntu 20 -> 24, PostgreSQL 12 -> 16

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.

Vibe coders and creators can now tap into Pi Network’s massive user base of over 60 million Engaged Pioneers by easily bringing their external AI-created apps to Pi’s real distribution network and utility ecosystem through Pi App Studio!

Creators, who may be technical developers or non-technical product people, can build apps using platforms such as Codex, Claude Code, Replit, Cursor, Lovable or other AI-assisted coding tools, and then use Pi App Studio to convert those apps into Pi Apps.

That changes the equation for creators.

AI can already help people generate apps quickly; the harder part is distribution and turning those apps into products people actually use.

Pi helps close that gap.

Instead of rebuilding infrastructure from scratch, creators can connect their apps to an existing ecosystem with users, payment capabilities, identity verification, decentralized human infrastructure and platform-level tools already in place.

This feature makes Idea → App → Users that much faster.

Because your ideas are too good not to be seen.

Try the Pi App Studio Now! If you’re a vibe coder or know someone building apps with AI who needs distribution, head to Pi App Studio today to convert AI-created apps into Pi Apps and access the Pi ecosystem’s users, infrastructure, and monetization opportunities.

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!

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.
