The#PINETWORK Consensus 2025 conference session, held from May 14-16 in Toronto, just concluded. I can't stress enough that the Pi Network made a significant impact this year. 1. Nicholas Kokkalis' Keynote: Dr. Nicholas Kokkalis, Founder and CTO of the Pi Network, delivered a remarkable keynote titled "AI + Blockchain Infrastructure to Unleash Mainstream Adoption." He spoke about how the combination of AI and the Pi Blockchain can help materialize real-world use cases—particularly in regions that lack digital infrastructure but have significant financial needs. He also touched on topics such as decentralized finance (DeFi) and digital identity, and called for international regulatory flexibility—so that users in regions like rural Ghana and dApp developers in Berlin can succeed. 2. Pi Network's presence at the event: Pi Network's participation wasn't limited to attendance; it was prominent. As the event's official sponsor, it hosted workshops, panel discussions, and presentations on everything from Web3 and DeFi to e-commerce, social media applications, and gaming. The big news? On May 14, the core team announced the deactivation of the central node and hinted at the possibility of making the code open source. This is a major step toward complete decentralization and real-world utility (RWU).3. Big Names, Big Talks: Kocalis also joined a panel discussion with Eric Trump and Robert Heins (of the White House Digital Asset Advisory Council), where they discussed global regulations and the future of cryptocurrencies. He again emphasized Pi's mission to build an accessible Web3 ecosystem—especially in emerging markets like Indonesia, Nigeria, India, and the Philippines—using mobile mining and sustainable technology. Bottom Line: Pi Network's (#PEPE) involvement this year has been groundbreaking. It has boosted community confidence, sparked discussions about AI, blockchain, and regulation, and demonstrated its serious pursuit of real utility. However, we are still waiting for major announcements like Pi's price and trading listings, something the community has been eagerly awaiting. Hopefully, we will have more clarity on this matter soon.#BinanceAlphaAlert#pi#TradeStories$BTC BTC103,977.13+0.94% $ETH
