Universe of Pi

At the TOKEN2049 conference, Dr. Chengdiao Fan, co-founder of Pi Network, gave a presentation that focused on how technology should serve people in practical ways. Her talk emphasized the importance of building blockchain applications that solve real problems, not just technical challenges or market trends. She explained that Pi Network is working to make blockchain useful for everyday life. This includes creating tools that are easy to use, accessible to everyone, and designed with long-term value in mind. Dr. Fan also spoke about artificial intelligence, highlighting the need for systems that support human well-being. She believes that decentralized infrastructure can help guide AI development in a direction that respects people’s needs and values. Another key point was the idea of mass adoption. Dr. Fan made it clear that reaching large numbers of users is not just about growth, it’s about making sure the technology is understandable, fair, and beneficial to all. Pi Netw...

Something important just happened in the Pi ecosystem, and it’s a big step forward. The Pi Browser, which many of us use to access Pi apps and tools, is no longer owned by SocialChain. It’s now officially under the care of something called the “Pi Community Company.” What does that mean? The control is moving from a private team to the hands of the broader Pioneer community. This is what decentralization looks like in action. Instead of decisions being made behind closed doors, we’re heading into a phase where Pioneers like you and me can vote, give feedback, and help shape the future of Pi. Community governance is coming, and that means more transparency, more participation, and more shared responsibility. It’s not just a technical update. It’s a mindset shift. "The real decentralization starts with Pi” is a signal. We’re entering a new chapter where the community isn’t just watching from the sidelines. We’re stepping in. More updates are on the way, and t...

What Is Fast Track KYC? Pi Network has launched Fast Track KYC, a streamlined identity verification feature that allows new users to activate their Mainnet wallet earlier—even before completing the usual 30 mining sessions. This marks a major shift in how quickly new Pioneers can begin engaging with the Pi ecosystem. Earlier Access, Fewer Barriers Traditionally, users had to mine Pi for 30 sessions before becoming eligible for KYC and wallet activation. Fast Track KYC removes that delay. Now, even non-users and fresh sign-ups can verify their identity and unlock their Mainnet wallet if eligible. This means: - Immediate access to Pi apps - Participation in local commerce - Engagement with ecosystem utilities Built-In Security, No Third-Party Dependence Fast Track KYC is native to Pi Network’s infrastructure, meaning it doesn’t rely solely on external providers like Banxa. It maintains high security standards, and while it speeds up wallet activation, it does not compromise K...
