To complete first or second migrations, Pioneers must set up Pi Wallet two-factor authentication (2FA) through Step 3 of the Mainnet Checklist.

This step is required to further strengthen account and wallet security before real Pi is transferred, an irreversible and immutable blockchain transaction.

To complete 2FA, Pioneers may need to add a trusted email address if one has not been set up yet.
Pi Node Activity Is Increasing 🖥

More pioneers are running Pi Nodes, helping the network become stronger and more decentralized.

Nodes play an important role by supporting the infrastructure that will power the Pi ecosystem in the future.

The more nodes join the network, the more resilient and secure the system becomes.

Behind the scenes, the Pi network keeps getting stronger. ⚡️

The first distribution of KYC validator rewards has been completed! This first round began on Pi Day 2026, and all KYC validators with Mainnet wallets have now received their rewards on the Mainnet blockchain.

Over 526 million validations were successfully completed by over one million human validators. Combined with the AI processing in the system, this work resulted in 18 million people’s identities being verified worldwide. The completed work in KYC validation demonstrates the capability, consistency and scale of Pi’s global, distributed human workforce in driving meaningful real-world outcomes, especially in areas that require human judgment and input.
Pi Network has released a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) server on Testnet!

This is an important infrastructure milestone that supports the development, testing, and future deployment of smart contracts within the Pi ecosystem.

The release builds on the Node and Protocol upgrades announced on Pi Day 2026, where Pi’s Mainnet blockchain was upgraded to Protocol 20 to establish the foundation for smart contract capabilities. Pi Mainnet protocol upgrades have continued, with the network now upgrading to Protocol 21.
Pi Community Keeps Expanding 🌐

The Pi Network community continues to grow as more pioneers join from different parts of the world.

What makes Pi unique is its focus on building a large user base before full adoption.

A strong network isn’t just about technology — it’s also about the people behind it.

And the Pi community keeps getting bigger every day.

Consensus Miami is getting a slice of Pi!

Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan will speak at Consensus 2026 on Wednesday, May 6, from 11:15–11:35 AM EDT at the Convergence Stage.

As AI dramatically lowers the barriers to building products, competition increasingly centers on authentic data, user acquisition, and trusted human participation.

Chengdiao’s presentation will explore how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utility‑driven products and AI‑era business models.

The session presents a fresh perspective on crypto tokens not as exits, but as tools for sustainable growth and real‑world adoption.

See you all there!
Pi Network: Quiet Progress ✔️

While the crypto market often focuses on hype, Pi Network continues developing quietly.

Behind the scenes, updates, node improvements, and ecosystem testing are still happening.

Sometimes the most important progress isn’t loud — it’s consistent.

For many pioneers, the focus remains simple:
watch the development and wait for the next stage. 🌀

Pi Network Passes 60M+ Users 🌐

Pi Network’s community has reportedly grown to over 60 million pioneers worldwide. This makes it one of the largest crypto communities even before full open network trading.

A massive user base could become a powerful advantage once the ecosystem fully expands.

In crypto, technology matters…
but network effect matters even more. 🌀

Pi is tackling one of the most urgent problems in the AI era: proving real human identity online.

Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis will speak on a panel at Consensus 2026 on Thursday, May 7, from 10:15-10:45 AM EDT at the Convergence Stage.

The session, “How to Prove You're Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself),” explores 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.

At the core of the discussion is a simple challenge: how do you verify a real human online without exposing private identity data?

Want to know how? Join us in Miami on May 7th!

See you there!
To open the Testnet subscription smart contract to technical review and community feedback, Pi has released the second Pi Request for Comment (PiRC2).

Developers are encouraged to try integrating subscriptions in their own apps, review the subscription contract design, and test for bugs or edge cases, if any.

Pi Network Is Entering a Quiet Phase 🌙

There’s less noise around Pi Network lately — fewer headlines, fewer discussions.

But in crypto, quiet phases often come before major shifts.

Smart users don’t just watch hype…
they watch timing.

Sometimes silence is part of the setup. 💧

Pi Volatility Is Rising ⚡️

Pi price is starting to show stronger movements again, with sharper ups and downs in short periods.

Rising volatility usually means the market is getting ready for a bigger move.

Traders watch these moments closely —
because calm markets don’t stay calm forever.

Something is building under the surface. 🔍
Pi Traders Are Watching Closely 👁

Pi is currently moving in a tight range, and many traders are waiting for a clear breakout.

When price stays compressed like this, it usually means the market is preparing for a stronger move.

No rush, no panic — just observation.

In moments like this, patience becomes a strategy. 🎯
🔝 Pi Holders Are Not Selling

Despite price fluctuations, many Pi holders are staying patient and not rushing to sell.

This kind of behavior often shows long-term belief in the project rather than short-term trading.

In crypto, strong communities don’t panic easily.

Sometimes holding is a strategy… not just a decision. 🧠

526 million human KYC validation tasks have already been completed on Pi.

By over 1 million verified people.

AI is advancing quickly.

But the hardest part of building reliable systems is still deeply human.

Models don’t improve from compute alone.

They improve from:

Judgment
Correction
Context
Nuance

Pi represents something different.

A globally distributed, identity-verified human workforce that has already demonstrated coordination at scale, already active in the Pi ecosystem.

This is real infrastructure, it’s already been used to process hundreds of millions of real tasks.

For AI systems, that changes what’s possible.

Go to the Pi mining app home screen to learn more.
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 through Pi’s native KYC solution.

See you there, Pioneers!
Reminder: All Mainnet nodes are required to complete the Protocol 23 upgrade by May 15, 2026 to remain connected to the network. This upgrade takes longer to complete, so please plan ahead.

Pi Is Building a Human Network 👥

Most blockchains are built around machines.
Pi is built around people.
Its security model focuses on real users and trusted connections, not massive mining farms.
That’s why Pi feels different from traditional crypto projects.
The idea is simple:
a strong network of real humans may become more valuable than pure computing power. 🌐
