🔥 IS PI NETWORK AIMING FOR A TRILLION-DOLLAR FUTURE?
At Consensus 2026, an AI discussion session was sponsored by PiCoreTeam, with a big question:
👉 “What is the Framework for Agentic Payments?”
It sounds far-fetched, but in reality, it’s very close:
In the future, AI will not only answer questions or write content…
But also be able to BUY and PAY ON ITS OWN.
For example:
* AI books plane tickets ✈️
* AI rents servers 💻
* AI buys data 📊
No human intervention needed.
And to make that happen, it requires:
✔️ A fast and cheap payment system
✔️ Clear identity (KYC)
✔️ A real app ecosystem
👉 This is exactly what Pi has been building all along.
Notably, this session included experts from Coinbase and Cloudflare.
📌 This shows:
Pi is no longer just a "simple coin mining" project
But is striving to become part of the future:
➡️ AI + Payments + Digital Identity
⚠️ However, we must be realistic:
Pi is still in development
Not fully Open Mainnet yet, no large liquidity
👉 But at least:
Pi has started "sitting at the table" with the big players.
💡 If the AI Agent trend explodes…
Payment platforms like Pi could have a huge opportunity.
What do you think?
Is Pi heading in the right direction? 🤔
Before Dr. CFan announced the Pi price at $0.186, it is currently $0.179. In reality, after every event, the phenomenon of "buy the rumor, sell the news" happens very frequently in the cryptocurrency market, not just with Pi. And Pi's price drop after Dr. CFan's announcement reflects a certain disappointment among those expecting an immediate Mainnet launch. The project is a long-term journey, so there's no rush and no need to expect overnight life changes. But if anyone wants to keep hoping, go ahead.
"Tokens are not meant for capital exit."
That is probably the most notable statement by Dr. Chengdiao Fan at Consensus Miami 2026 🔥
While most of the market still focuses on:
• token price
• hype
• launch to dump
• speculative cash flow
Pi Network, however, is talking about:
👉 real products
👉 real users
👉 real utility
The most notable points in the speech:
• Over 60 million global users
• 18 million KYC-verified accounts
• 16.5 million non-custodial Mainnet wallets
• Smart Contract & Pi Launchpad preparing to expand the ecosystem
Especially, the Pi Launchpad model is designed completely differently from the current market:
❌ No direct funding to project teams
✅ Liquidity permanently locked in the liquidity pool
✅ Projects must have real products
✅ Early user experiences receive special benefits
The message Pi wants to send is very clear:
Tokens are no longer tools for "fundraising then dumping."
They become tools to:
• attract real users
• create real interactions
• build a real ecosystem
• and generate long-term utility
In the AI era, as product creation becomes easier…
the most valuable thing may no longer be technology.
But rather:
"Verified real humans."
Pi founder Chengdiao Fan delivered a speech today at Consensus 2026 Miami during her panel discussion, "Connecting Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility."
Dr. Fan shared how Pi's blockchain infrastructure, identity verification, and global network can support utility-oriented products and businesses in the AI era.
Her talk focused on a core challenge in the cryptocurrency industry at large: the frequent mismatch between token design and real innovation. While tokens in the industry are often primarily used as fundraising or quick exit tools, Dr. Fan discussed Pi's approach of viewing tokens as instruments that can support growth, engagement, and long-term utility.
Pi's approach to ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms centers on tokens to attract users and integrate token design into the product innovation process. By using tokens to help products attract real users who can interact, provide feedback, and use those tokens in actual product experiences, this approach more directly connects token design with utility and product development.
More broadly, Dr. Fan's presentation sparked discussion on how blockchain can help shape business models in the AI era, financial knowledge, ownership, and socio-economic participation. As AI lowers barriers to building, the focus shifts to things that are harder to replicate: real users, genuine engagement, and reliable human input at scale.
The Pi Core team's X badge has changed from Green to Gold.
This signifies the evolution from a project to a global infrastructure organization.
The gold check indicates official business status.
This change comes ahead of Consensus Miami, where founders will discuss Web3, AI utility, and humanity online.
Protocol v23 is expected on May 15. ⚙️
