In case you missed it: Watch the video of the TOKEN2049 talk in October by Chengdiao Fan, one of two Pi Founders, edited to include the slides of the presentation used on stage in Singapore. At one of the largest crypto events in the world, her talk explored how blockchain can drive real societal utility and impact, especially in the age of AI, highlighting current challenges in Web3 and potential solutions for pushing the crypto space towards more innovation in real-world utility rather than focusing solely on liquidity.

💡 INSIGHT: Pi Network aims to turn its 50M nodes into a decentralized AI compute layer, letting everyday devices power AI instead of big cloud providers.
🚀 Pioneers, the wait is over — thePitogo Token is now LIVE for testing on Testnet! 🎉
You can now enable THEPITOGO token inside your Pi Wallet and start exploring how future travel bookings will work on our platform. This is a major step toward creating a fully Pi-powered global travel ecosystem.
🌍 Soon, once approved by the Pi Core Team, Pioneers will be able to purchase thePitogo Token on Mainnet and use it to book flights, hotels, tours, and services inside thePitogo.
This testnet phase is crucial — it prepares our ecosystem, validates utility, and strengthens our readiness for the Pi Mainnet economy.
🔧 Ready to test?
Enable THEPITOGO token now inside your Pi Wallet and be part of the early wave shaping real-world Pi utility.

The Mainnet app list in the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface does not include all Mainnet and Mainnet-ready Pi apps, as selection is limited based on Pi ecosystem policies and guidelines. There are many more third party Pi apps that are not listed here. Some third-party Pi apps that serve as a directory of Pi Mainnet apps may display more or even all Mainnet apps, so Pioneers can reference those for a broader view of available apps.
Check out the most recent blog about new Mainnet Ecosystem Interface app listings, where this has also been noted! https://t.co/Knb0yGwHlu
The Pi Ad Network finished its pilot, and developers can apply to join the Pi Ad Network now! The premise of selection is to be listed in the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface and compliant with developer ecosystem guidelines. This platform-level utility transforms the collective attention of Pi’s millions of Engaged Pioneers into a tangible and sustainable mechanism for supporting the Pi Apps and the ecosystem.

A2U Payment allows direct payment through the Pailot app into your Pi wallet.
Every payment made to the Pailot through the Pailot app goes directly to Pailot's Pi wallet.
Pi Network is adding email-based two-factor authentication to the overall account management and verification. https://t.co/mppVnNAmqP
This change addresses challenges with current SMS (text message) account verification, improves security, and lays the groundwork for future verification methods like passkeys and biometrics. To ensure a secure shift, system level analytics and checks were required to validate how Pioneers verify their accounts using the new method, which led to a temporary pause in migrations. Migrations have now resumed and will gradually expand. Read the full blog for more information about the update and how it benefits the network in the long term.
The first PiFest after Open Network has concluded! It was inspiring to see Pioneer shoppers and local merchants around the world demonstrate the expanding utility of Pi! Stay tuned for a full recap of the PiFest in the coming weeks.

The shopping period for the first Open Network PiFest has officially begun and will run until Friday, March 21, 2025. With the full support of Open Network connectivity now enabled, visit and shop at local Pi-Powered businesses using Pi. Learn more https://t.co/rJIJAjvyQL
Users who have had one migration in the past may notice a decrease in their transferable balance or that it has gone to 0. They didn’t actually lose anything.This will be improved next week. No Pi lost or gained.
Tomorrow could mark a significant turning point in the markets. Large-scale manipulation attempts are likely. Do not be deceived by short-term price movements—analyze market dynamics carefully and base your strategy on solid fundamentals.
The Pi community spent 6 years building its infrastructure, its ecosystem, and making sure that its utility is ready for use before opening up! Learn more about Open Network https://t.co/xW4GFYD7pt
Bybit CEO Ben Zhou’s statements about Pi Network reveal a deep lack of understanding and a superficial assessment of the crypto ecosystem.
Pi Network is not just a “press a button and earn money” project; it is one of the largest community-driven, open-source, and KYC-verified decentralized finance initiatives in the world. With over 60 million active users and 25 million KYC-verified accounts, Pi Network’s adoption and strength are undeniable.
Ben Zhou’s ‘Ponzi scheme’ comparison is completely uninformed and lacks technical foundation. Ponzi schemes operate by paying early investors with the money of new entrants. Pi Network, on the other hand, is an ecosystem that grows through community strength without requiring mandatory investments and aims to establish real-world utility. Yes, Pi has been listed on certain exchanges, but evaluating it before the full launch of its mainnet and complete ecosystem development is premature and misleading. Pi Network continues to evolve based on decentralization and transparency principles, and no speculative statement can change this.
Centralized exchanges like Bybit fail to understand and properly assess truly decentralized projects. One of the core principles of the crypto ecosystem is financial freedom and fair access for individuals. However, Bybit misrepresents Pi Network’s strong ecosystem without fully understanding its fundamentals.
Pi Network does not rely on centralized exchanges. With a robust ecosystem, sustainable technology, and strong community support, it will secure its place in the future of finance. Manipulative statements and shallow assessments will not stop the rise of decentralization.
Reminder: The Grace Period requires both KYC and Mainnet migration to be completed by 8:00am UTC on March 14, 2025, to avoid forfeiting most of your Pi other than Pi mined within the rolling window of the last 6 months before your Pi is migrated. Learn more https://t.co/G4y12QU6qi
