During Pi2Day 2026, Pi Network introduced a set of products aimed at expanding the use of its infrastructure beyond its own community. Instead of highlighting price movements or possible exchange listings, the team focused the announcements on solutions for digital identity, distributed computing, and user authentication, bringing the network closer to applications aimed at the corporate market.
The main launch was PiVerify, an identity verification (KYC) service that can be used by external companies to validate users. According to the project team, the infrastructure has already processed the verification of more than 18 million users across more than 200 countries, using a system that combines artificial intelligence with human review.
With this solution, fintechs, exchanges, Web3 platforms, and artificial intelligence applications will be able to use Pi Network's structure to reduce fraud, fake accounts, and Sybil attacks. One of the highlighted points is that companies interested in the service must make payments using the Pi currency itself, creating a practical use case for the asset.
Another important announcement was SoloHost, a platform that leverages the network formed by more than 420 thousand computers operated by Pi Network nodes. The new feature allows developers to make self-hosted applications available on Pi Desktop, including artificial intelligence agents running directly on users' devices.
In addition, node operators will be able to offer idle computing capacity to run AI tasks requested by external clients. In return, they will receive payments in Pi for the completed services.
According to the project team, the first production application should be made available shortly after Pi2Day. Initially, the top 100 node operators will be responsible for executing the first real computing workloads for external clients.
Among the examples presented is Hermes, an open-source artificial intelligence agent that runs locally on the user's computer. In this model, the data remains stored on the device itself, without the need for processing on remote servers, offering an alternative for applications that prioritize privacy.
The third new feature was Pi Sign-in, a system that will allow compatible websites and apps to offer Pi Network accounts as an authentication option. The feature uses the user base that has already gone through the identity verification process, allowing developers to integrate this mechanism into their own services.
The announcements presented during Pi2Day 2026 did not involve price forecasts or promises of exchange listings. Instead, the strategy focused on expanding Pi Network's infrastructure through an identity verification service, a distributed computing platform paid in Pi, and a login system aimed at third-party applications, expanding the possibilities for using the network outside its own ecosystem.
