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!

Since Pi Day 2026, Pi Network has continued its gradual rollout of second migrations and referral mining bonuses. This opens the door for Pioneers to bring additional Pi to Mainnet and further participate in the ecosystem. Note that first migrations still take priority for the network to complete, and second migrations do not impact the rate of first migrations.

Go to the Pi mining app home screen to learn more. This strategic program intends to invest in high-quality startups and companies across sectors, driving innovation and ecosystem growth. By providing early support to more innovative utility creation and real-world integration, this moment marks a pivotal step forward for Pi.

A Pi ecosystem announcement will be released on May 14. Tune in to find out what's coming next!

The allocation structure of the Pi Supply model ensures the impartial role of any processes that affect the migration speed because all other allocation buckets track the pace of Migrated Mining Rewards. It was intentionally designed to align the interests of all parties in the network to get as many Pioneers and as many Pi onto the Mainnet as possible. The network is committed to migrating Pioneers and their Pi as soon as possible. Learn more about how Pi’s supply is allocated and how each allocation is calculated: minepi.com/blog/mainnet-migr…

Pi Network now has over 4 million followers on X! Congratulations to everyone in the Pi community for supporting Pi and making this possible.
