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 reach of people verified through Pi’s system will grow beyond 18 million KYC-verified Pioneers, further strengthening the foundation of verified humans behind Pi’s ecosystem. Third-party clients also pay with Pi to use the PiVerify service, extending the utility of Pi itself.
For businesses and platforms, the needs are simple. Many digital services need to know whether a user is a real person. Especially in the real world economy, meaningful transactions require verified identities.
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 to their onboarding, revalidation, access, participation, payment, or data workflows.
PiVerify can support identity verification services such as document checking, liveness verification, sanctions and AML screening support, and duplicate detection. These features help third-party clients improve trust and reduce abuse, while providing flexible ways to integrate with PiVerify, including building verification flows directly into their own products.

Pi2Day Ecosystem Quest
To celebrate Pi2Day and the release of new features across the ecosystem, Pi is introducing the Pi2Day 2026 Ecosystem Quest for Pioneers.
In this year’s Ecosystem Quest, Pioneers will be guided to complete activities that help them discover new apps, test ecosystem features, and understand how Pi’s infrastructure supports the creation of utility across compute, AI, and identity.
Certain steps in your quest will require you to complete quizzes, so stay tuned for more details in today’s update. Pioneers who complete the quest will receive a special in-app badge that can be accessed in Pi Chat and Pi social profiles.
Tap the “Pi2Day” icon in the top right corner of the Pi Mining app home screen to join the ecosystem quest. The quest ends on July 13th.
Connecting computing, identity, and community participation
Pi2Day 2026 reflects how Pi’s utility continues to grow through both infrastructure and participation. Pi desktops and nodes can support new local apps and compute use cases. Pi Sign-in helps connect these experiences across users, devices, and services. PiVerify can extend Pi’s real human verification capabilities to third-party clients.
Together, these releases signal a broader direction for the ecosystem. That means not just product releases, but practical utilities built by the pioneers, node operators, developers, validators, app teams, merchants, and third-party services that use, test, and build on them. Pi products not only serve the Pi ecosystem, but also extend services and Pi resources to the outside world, thereby enriching and strengthening the Pi ecosystem.
