Pi Network founders Chengdiao Fan and Nicolas Kokkalis took the stage at Consensus 2026, highlighting the convergence of AI, Web3, and blockchain to an audience of over 20000 attendees. Fan emphasized leveraging Pi’s KYC-verified base of over 50 million users to build practical AI-driven applications, while Kokkalis focused on secure digital identity without compromising privacy. With its open mainnet launched in February 2025 and more than 10 billion PI tokens now active on chain, Pi Network is preparing to introduce smart contracts through Protocol 23.
