For the first time, OKX has made Pi available to millions of people in the US through its platform, adding another access point to the Pi ecosystem for US users.
Pi continues to expand its global network of Pioneers and partners, and strengthen ecosystem participation, utility, and real user adoption across the world.
More users. More usage. Stronger network
This is the first lightweight gaming ecosystem application incubated by startpi, a blind box gaming platform that only requires 1 Pi to have a chance to get 100 Pi. Do you dare to challenge it?

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!
The Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 23 – Deadline: May 15.
All Mainnet nodes are required to complete this step before the deadline to remain connected to the network. This upgrade takes longer to complete, so plan accordingly.

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.

Pi is a Layer 1 blockchain and utilities-backed Web3 ecosystem with widespread token distribution.
Tens of millions of identity-verified users mine Pi cryptocurrency to engage with Pi apps and transact with one another for goods and services.
Officially launched on March 14, 2019 by a team of early innovators in blockchain and social computing, with PhDs from Stanford University, Pi Network offers a mobile-first mining mechanism with low financial cost and a light environmental footprint.
In February 2025, after six years of development, Pi launched its Open Network phase, finally opening the doors to external connectivity.

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.
Why is Pi focusing on AI? What does AI have to do with blockchain? Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan explores how Pi is working to address the fundamental changes emerging in the AI era.
What are Pi ecosystem tokens and what is the design thinking for ecosystem tokens on Mainnet?
Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan dives deep into Pi’s unique approach to ecosystem token design — Pi’s focus is not on tokens for their own sake, or on mechanisms and integrations in isolation, but on enabling useful, utility-driven tokens and supporting the real innovation behind them.
Learn more on the specifics of ecosystem token design here. Pioneers are encouraged to comment, discuss with other community members and share specific suggestions on specific sections.
