By making this infrastructure available to third parties, PiVerify extends the utility of Pi’s verified identity technology and resources beyond Pi’s own apps and services. As more services use PiVerify, the broader pool of people verified through Pi’s systems will grow beyond the 18 million KYC verified Pioneers, further strengthening the verified-human foundation behind Pi’s ecosystem. Third-party clients also pay in Pi to use PiVerify services, expanding the utility of Pi itself.
For businesses and platforms, the need is straightforward: many digital services need to know whether users are real people. Verified identities are needed for any meaningful transactions, especially in real-world economies.
Fintech platforms, exchanges, Web3 services, trust-driven apps, and AI or data platforms all face risks from fake accounts, duplicate users, fraud, spam, and Sybil abuse. PiVerify is designed to help these services add real-human verification into their onboarding, re-verification, access, participation, payments, or data workflows.
PiVerify can support identity verification services such as document checks, liveness verification, sanctions and AML screening support, and duplicate detection. These capabilities can help third-party clients improve trust and reduce abuse while giving them a flexible way to integrate with PiVerify, such as embedding the verification flow directly into their own products.

Pi2Day Ecosystem Quest
To celebrate Pi2Day and the new features launching across the ecosystem, Pi is introducing the Pi2Day 2026 Ecosystem Quest for Pioneers.
This year’s Ecosystem Quest will guide Pioneers to complete activities that help them discover new apps, test ecosystem features, and understand how Pi’s infrastructure supports utility creation across compute, AI, and identity.
Certain steps in the Quest require completing a quiz, so remember to pay attention to the details of today’s updates! Pioneers who complete the Quest will receive an in-app special edition badge accessible in Pi Chats and Pi Social Profiles.
Participate in the Ecosystem Quest by tapping on the “Pi2Day” icon on the top right of the Pi mining app home screen. The Quest will end on July 13.
Connecting Compute, Identity, and Community Participation
Pi2Day 2026 reflects how Pi’s utility continues to grow through both infrastructure and participation. Pi Desktop and Nodes can support new local app and compute use cases; Pi Sign-in can help connect those experiences across users, devices, and services; and PiVerify can extend Pi’s real-human verification capabilities to third-party clients.
Together, these releases point to a broader direction for the ecosystem: practical utility built not only by product releases, but by the Pioneers, Node operators, developers, validators, app teams, merchants, and third-party services that use them, test them, and build on them; and Pi products are not just for the Pi ecosystem but also extending the services and Pi resources to the external world which, in turn, enriches and strengthens the Pi ecosystem.
