🔥Speech from Pi network founder Nicolas Kokalis at Consensus 2025: Hello Pioneers around the world!”

I’m Nicolas Kokkalis – co-founder of Pi Network and passionate about making technology accessible to everyone, regardless of geography, economic status or circumstances.

Today, I’m not here to talk about technology. I’m here to talk about trust.

Together, we built Pi Network not just for a cryptocurrency, but for a vision: to create a global, equitable and sustainable ecosystem – where everyone has the opportunity to access the value of blockchain technology.

1. About the Near Future: We are preparing to expand our decentralized application ecosystem – Pi Apps – more aggressively than ever before. We’ve listened to the community, and now it’s time to launch tools, APIs, and support resources that make it easy for developers to build on Pi.

2. About Open Mainnet: We’re getting closer. But we don’t just want to “open the network”, we want to open it the right way – with the right measures identity protection, robust anti-fraud systems, and a marketplace where you can actually use Pi. We’re accelerating our KYB and node verification processes to make sure everything is ready.

3. About the Mission: We’re not just creating a coin. We’re redefining how the internet works – from personal data to financial transactions – in a decentralized and ethical way.

And to every Pioneer listening tonight:

You are not just a “coin miner.”

You are the first brick to build a more equitable digital world.

Be patient. Believe. And take action.

Thank you. 💜
