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!

Someone asked, are we ever going to have projects like $NOT and $PI that feed the community without requesting for a dime? My response, the space is currently filled with inferior projects and Devs who wants to raise money from their community. Some of the Devs don't even have confidence in their project. Always invest wisely. Never invest in a project because of the hype. Ensure you carry out an extensive research.

The initial version of the Pi Launchpad has been released as a Pi App on the Testnet with a test token! Because the Launchpad introduces new concepts for many Pioneers and uses mechanisms that differ from typical token launches in Web3, it is being introduced on Testnet first so the community can become familiar with how the process works before the Mainnet launch. The Launchpad implements the mechanism in Design 1 of the PiRC (github.com/PiNetwork/PiRC) released on the Open Network anniversary.
