CryptoWorld News reports that the two founders of Pi Network will speak at the Consensus Conference on May 6 and 7, 2026, discussing the integration of Web3, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, as well as how to verify human identity in the AI world. This speech coincides with an active phase of the network technology roadmap and is expected to attract widespread attention. Pi Network currently has over 16.5 million migrated users and more than 17.7 million KYC-verified accounts, actively advancing its smart contract upgrade.

Just noticed Pi Network is getting absolutely wrecked in this bull run. The token's sitting at $0.18 now, down from its $3 peak - that's brutal. Meanwhile BTC just crushed through $80K and the market's pushing toward $3T in total cap. Pi's market cap has tanked to $1.86B, but here's the wild part - the founders are basically billionaires on paper. Nicolas Kokkalis and Chengdiao Fan apparently hold 20 billion tokens allocated to the core team, which at current valuation puts their combined net worth from PI alone at around $3.6B. If they split it evenly, each founder's net worth from these holdings would be roughly $1.8B. Even more interesting - the Pi Network Foundation controls another 10B tokens worth over $1.8B. The way these projects typically work, founders usually have influence over those reserves too. What's tripping me up is the unlock schedule. Most of their wealth is locked until May 2028, with only about 131M coins unlocking monthly (worth ~$24M at current price). So Nicolas Kokkalis and his co-founder can't actually touch most of this wealth right now. The community got 65B tokens, but the real wealth concentration is in that core team allocation. Makes you think about how much founder net worth is actually liquid versus what's just sitting in locked tokens.
