Important Announcement 🚨 Regarding #PiNetwork Node v23 Upgrade

The deadline has been extended to May 19.

The underlying database has undergone a full migration and upgrade.

The v24-v26 iteration schedule has been slightly adjusted. As technology continuously advances, a significant ecosystem event is on the horizon.

This ship is about to set sail, and the pioneers are ready to go! 💎 #PİNetwork

🚨At the Consensus Summit in Miami in 2026, Dr. Nicolas, the founder of #PiNetwork, participated in a roundtable discussion themed: "In the Age of AI, How to Prove You're a Real Human Without Disclosing Personal Privacy." 🎙

The key points of the discussion are as follows:

1. Current Major Pain Points:
Deepfakes and the proliferation of AI bots make it hard for people to distinguish between real humans and AI programs online.
Traditional verification requires IDs, facial recognition, and phone numbers, which means giving up all personal privacy, making it easy to tamper with, leak, and misuse.

2. Dr. Nicolas's Main Point:
Emphasizing the core logic of Pi:
It can verify that you are a real person without asking for or revealing your sensitive private information.
Using decentralized + privacy-protecting foundational technology,

Its goal is: to prove you are human without exposing privacy.

Building a clean, privacy-free real human global network.

3. Opinions from Linux Foundation Guests:
The future of online identity can no longer be monopolized and controlled by big companies.

It must move towards decentralized identity, where individuals can control their own data.

They recognize the direction of Pi's development, which fully aligns with global open-source industry standards.

4. Opinions from FaceTec Biometric Experts:
Biometric technology is most concerned with two issues: AI impersonation and privacy breaches.
Pi's verification model addresses the following two problems:
Preventing AI bots from engaging in impersonation + protecting personal biometric privacy
is currently a mature and compliant solution in the industry.

5. Unified Consensus:
In the future, simply registering an account won't be enough;

The ability to protect privacy while verifying real human identity
will become a basic necessity in the future internet, Web3, and digital world.

Pi has been planning this for several years, and now, at a top global conference, it is engaging in in-depth discussions with industry leaders,

Its direction has been recognized by authorities, and its logic has gained industry acknowledgment.

At the recently concluded Miami 2026 Consensus Conference, the two founders of Pi Network, Nicolas Kokkalis and Chengdiao Fan, delivered important speeches.
It's worth noting that Pi Network was also one of the official sponsors of this event. Here are the specific speech schedules and related information for these two doctors:
1. Dr. Chengdiao Fan

Related background information
• Conference date: May 5 to May 7, 2026.
• Key timeline: The timing of this appearance is quite delicate. Pi Network just completed the node upgrade for Protocol 22 on April 27, 2026, and plans to officially launch Protocol 23 on May 11 (a few days after the conference ends).
• Strategic significance: The release of Protocol 23 means that Pi will introduce full smart contract functionality. Therefore, this presentation at the Miami Consensus Conference is seen as an important signal of Pi's shift from 'infrastructure development' to 'ecosystem application activation.'

It's also in the top 50 by market cap globally, with 70 million holders' expectations...

📢#PiNetwork is launching its first smart contract feature on the Pi testnet: a subscription service. This feature will give rise to a series of use cases directly corresponding to various real-world products and utility-based recurring services, such as e-commerce, streaming media, and online tools. Although subscription models are quite common in traditional Web2 commerce, achieving a seamless user experience in blockchain systems is often quite challenging due to trade-offs involving authorization repetition, the need for full upfront payments, reliance on off-chain coordination, or requiring additional account infrastructure. Pi provides a solution for this: its design supports recurring payments while not relinquishing the wallet-level control that blockchain systems aim to maintain, and it also avoids requiring users to pay the entire budget upfront. A new "Pi Insight Draft" (PiRC2) has been published on GitHub. We encourage developers to try integrating the subscription feature into their applications, review the design of the subscription contract, and assist in testing to identify any vulnerabilities or edge cases.🔥

Gate News - April 16 - Pi Network is preparing to launch its V23 upgrade next month, introducing three major features: smart contracts, a DApp ecosystem, and a decentralized exchange (DEX). Currently, the network has over 18 million users who have completed KYC verification, laying a solid foundation for the new features. The launch of smart contracts will enable developers to build and deploy applications on Pi Network for the first time, transitioning the network from mining and user growth to practical use cases. The DApp ecosystem will allow developers to create games, financial tools, and marketplace platforms, while Pi DEX will enable users to trade tokens directly within the ecosystem without relying on external platforms. This upgrade marks a significant shift for Pi Network: transitioning from a community-building phase to a phase focused on real utility and active ecosystem development.

Binance Life.

Dr. Fan Chengdiao's speech on May 6 marked a key turning point for Pi Network, transitioning from the accumulation phase of "mobile mining" to formally seeking industry mainstream recognition and "ecological landing".

This appearance at the Consensus 2026 conference released several core signals:

· Appearing at a top conference: Pi Network is one of the official sponsors of the conference. Speaking at this top industry summit hosted by CoinDesk is an important step into the mainstream spotlight.

· Focus on "practicality": The theme focuses on the practical integration of Web3, AI, and blockchain. It highlights its real-name verification (KYC) user network as a "real data provider" to attempt to shake off the "air coin" label.

· Clear new narrative: Positioning cryptocurrency tokens as a "tool for achieving sustainable growth and real-world adoption", rather than a means for speculative exit.

Overall, this speech is not just a demonstration, but also conveys a message to the market: Pi has a large real user base, which is becoming its core asset in attracting collaboration and building ecosystems in the AI era.

Pi Network April 1st Major Official Announcement! RPC Server Officially Launched on Testnet

Family, the Pi Core Team has just dropped a big news!
The Pi Testnet RPC server has officially been deployed, address: rpc.testnet.minepi.com

This is a milestone step for Pi towards smart contracts!
RPC is the core interface between the blockchain and developers. Its launch means that developers can now directly simulate, test, and deploy smart contracts on the Pi testnet, fully opening the path for the explosion of the Pi ecosystem.

From now on, Pi officially has the capability to support DApps, DeFi, and Web3 applications. The era of mainnet smart contracts for over 70 million Pi pioneers is truly here🚀

📢Attention🚨Google has sounded the quantum alarm🚨
Today, Google announced a groundbreaking advancement: a key step towards using quantum computers to crack encryption algorithms. #PiNetwork has long anticipated this quantum challenge and has implemented defensive research and safeguards against it. As founder Dr. Nicolas stated during the Pi wallet launch ceremony: for the next hundreds of millions of years, no one will be able to crack the Pi private key password🔒.
In short—existing encryption systems on other networks are actually outdated. Attacks on the Mempool have become a reality. We must transition immediately to the "post-quantum encryption" era⚠️

Won't Bitcoin use quantum encryption?

Good news! 📢#PiNetwork: The number of followers of the official Pi X account has surpassed that of the official Ethereum X account. This is entirely due to the fact that many people in the Pi community do not use X and there are a large number of new participants; otherwise, the number of followers would have already reached ten times the current level. This reflects the growing attention people are paying to the Pi network. 📈🚀
The rise of a new terrifying power
