This week, Pi Founders Dr. Chengdiao Fan and Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis are featured speakers at Consensus 2026 in Miami, which has more than 20,000 in-person attendees!

Onstage, the Pi Founders will share insight on Pi’s approach to blockchain, identity verification, business models, and utilities in the AI era.

Here’s the schedule:

Chengdiao Fan will speak at Consensus 2026 on Wednesday, May 6, from 11:15–11:35 AM EDT at the Convergence Stage.
Nicolas Kokkalis will speak on a panel at Consensus 2026 on Thursday, May 7, from 10:15-10:45 AM EDT at the Convergence Stage.
Dr. Fan’s presentation, “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,” will explore how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utility‑driven products and AI‑era business models. This is especially relevant as AI dramatically lowers the barriers to building products, and competition increasingly centers on authentic data, user acquisition, and trusted human participation.

The session presents a fresh perspective on crypto tokens not as exits, but as tools for sustainable growth and real‑world adoption.

Dr. Kokkalis’s panel, “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself),” will explore 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. Identity is fundamental to any meaningful integration with the real-world economy, and Pi Network has built a global and scalable KYC solution for identity verification that fulfills the essential needs for blockchain networks, marketplaces, and AI-era applications.

See you there, Pioneers!
