Pi Network has announced reaching 18 million KYC-verified users, marking one of five major milestones achieved by the project within the last four months. In a significant move toward industry recognition, co-founder Nicolas Kokkalis is scheduled to speak at the Consensus 2026 conference in Miami on May 7. Kokkalis will participate in a panel titled 'How to Prove You're Human in an AI World Without Doxing Yourself,' highlighting the network's leadership in identity verification. This growth in verified 'Pioneers' serves as a strategic foundation for the upcoming Open Mainnet launch. While these developments signal strong project momentum, the PI token remains in an enclosed mainnet state with trading limited to IOU contracts. The network continues to prioritize regulatory compliance and identity-based security as it prepares for a full public market transition.
