Pi Network Explores Web3, AI, Blockchain Intersection at Consensus 2026

Pi Network made a significant presence at Consensus 2026 in Miami, with two of its co-founders taking the stage to share their insights on the intersection of Web3, AI, and blockchain.

Dr. Chengdiao Fan's speech focused on Pi Network's infrastructure, identity verification, and globally engaged network, which can support 'utility-driven products and businesses in the AI era.'

The co-founder expanded on one of the largest challenges in the cryptocurrency industry: the frequent misalignment between token design and real innovation. She emphasized that many industry participants have used token launches mostly to raise capital or quick exits.

Pi Network's approach treats tokens as tools 'that can support growth, engagement, and long-term utility.'

Dr. Fan explained how Pi's ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms focus on user acquisition and integrating token design into the product innovation process.

This approach connects token design more directly to utility and product development.
