$PI The Pi founders will jointly take the stage as speakers at the 2026 Consensus conference!

This is a major positive signal, representing top industry recognition and strategic upgrade, directly enhancing Pi’s mainstream acceptance, institutional trust, and ecosystem imagination.

First, clarify: What level of conference is Consensus 2026?

- Organized by CoinDesk, recognized as the “Super Bowl” of the blockchain/crypto world, one of the industry’s highest-standard conferences.
- Held in Miami from May 5-7, 2026, expected to attract over 20k global industry leaders, asset managers managing trillions, regulators, and institutional giants.
- Only top-tier projects/figures (such as SEC commissioners, Ripple CEO, etc.) get to speak on the main stage.

Second, the core benefits of this news (4 points)

1. Top official endorsement, moving from “niche project” into mainstream visibility

- Pi becoming an official sponsor of Consensus 2026 + a dedicated main stage speech is industry authority affirming its technology, user base, and ecological value.
- Both co-founders (Nicolas + Dr. Fan) sharing the stage (high-profile appearance) breaks long-standing doubts, directly boosting global recognition and trust.

2. Clear technology + strategic focus, centering on the “blockchain + identity + AI” golden track

Dr. Fan’s speech core: Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, identity verification network, global user base, supporting practical products and the AI era.

- Identity verification (KYC): Over 17.5 million verified real users worldwide, the largest compliant identity network in Web3, solving the “human-machine indistinguishability” pain point in the AI era.
- AI integration: Using AI to optimize KYC (review efficiency +50%), prevent bot cheating, and build AI-driven DApps, seizing the AI + Web3 opportunity.
- Practicality first: Emphasizing “not just speculation, but building a practical Web3 ecosystem,” attracting real users and developers, aligning with the industry’s shift from “speculation” to “practical use.”

3. Attention from institutional capital + developers, ecosystem accelerating beyond the circle

- Exposure at top-tier conference, directly reaching global leading investment institutions, exchanges, and tech teams, paving the way for future cooperation, investment, and listing.
- Clear technical and ecological roadmap, attracting global developers to build DApps on Pi infrastructure, enriching the ecosystem, and enhancing Pi’s real value and circulation scenarios.

4. Community confidence + consensus strengthening, supporting long-term value stability

- For millions of Pi pioneers worldwide, it’s a major morale booster, reinforcing confidence in long-term holding and ecosystem development, reducing sell-offs, and stabilizing market expectations.
- From “low-key mining” to “global stage voice,” community consensus upgrades, facilitating offline application deployment (such as payments, shopping malls, services).

Third, deeper significance: Pi’s positioning is thoroughly upgraded

1. From “mobile mining project” → “Web3 infrastructure + identity network + AI ecosystem platform,” no longer just “token issuance,” but building the underlying infrastructure for the next-generation Internet.
2. From “marginal project” → “industry standard setter”: in the fields of AI and blockchain integration, decentralized identity, seizing discourse power, and defining industry direction.
3. From “community-driven” → “global ecological collaboration”: the official actively engaging with mainstream industry resources, accelerating globalization, institutionalization, and compliance, laying the foundation for future compliant launches and global circulation.
