The co-founders of Pi Network, Dr. Fan Chengdiao and Nicholas Kokkalis, are set to speak at Consensus Miami 2026, a major cryptocurrency conference. Dr. Fan will discuss "The Practical Convergence of Web3, Artificial Intelligence, and Blockchain" on May 6, focusing on how AI is reshaping digital product development and emphasizing the importance of verified user engagement. Nicholas Kokkalis will address the challenge of proving human identity in the AI era without compromising personal data on May 7. These talks precede the activation of Pi Network's smart contract upgrade, Protocol 23, scheduled for May 11. The network, boasting 16.5 million migrated users and over 17.7 million KYC-verified accounts, recently launched a subscription smart contract on its testnet, highlighting its commitment to supporting real commercial activities. Pi's KYC system has processed over 526 million verifications, and Kokkalis plans to extend this infrastructure to other projects via API. Pi Network's token currently trades at $0.18, with a market cap of $1.86 billion, leading the mobile mining category.
