*1. Pi Network and GenAI: Why Integration?
The Pi Network team has long announced that it wants to go beyond just cryptocurrency and create a decentralized ecosystem (Pi Apps, Web3 services). GenAI (generative AI) could be part of this strategy:
- Decentralized AI services – Pi Network can use the computing power of its miners to train or run AI models (similar to projects like Bittensor).
- AI tools for developers – Pi could offer an API for creating chatbots, generating content, or analyzing data within its applications.
- Improving KYC and security – AI can help in user verification and combating fraud.
*2. Why did Kokkalis speak at Consensus 2025?
Consensus – one of the main crypto conferences, and the participation of the Pi founder speaks of two things:
- Pi Network is preparing for a new stage – possibly announcing partnerships or technologies related to AI.
- Gaining attention before Pi2Day – June 28 (Pi Day 2.0) is traditionally a day for major announcements. Perhaps AI features will be introduced.
3. Possible Scenarios for Pi2Day (28.06.2025)
- Launch of an AI module in the Pi Browser (for example, an assistant or content generator).
- Partnership with an AI startup to use Pi Coin for payment of AI services.
- Decentralized AI network based on Pi nodes (miners will be able to earn by providing power for AI).
*Conclusion
Most likely, Pi Network wants to enter the AI + Blockchain trend to increase the utility of Pi Coin and attract new users. The exact answer will probably be at Pi2Day – stay tuned for announcements!
What do you think? Is this a logical development for Pi or do you think they have other plans? 😊
