TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025 (Oct 1-2) is one of the world’s largest Web3 conferences, drawing over 25,000 attendees, 300 speakers, and 500 exhibitors. Pi Network made a strong debut as a Gold Sponsor, with co-founder Dr. Chengdiao Fan delivering a keynote on Oct 1, 4:30–4:45 PM (SGT) at the TON Stage, titled “Crypto’s Future: From Liquidity to Utility – Web3 Pathways to Innovation.”
This appearance was seen as a “soft collaboration” between Pi and TON communities, highlighting similarities in their mobile-first and social blockchain approaches (e.g., Pi Browser vs. Telegram’s WeChat-style model). While no formal partnership was announced, many speculate this could signal future joint development in DeFi or gaming. I believe Pi may be “bridging” into the TON ecosystem, leveraging Telegram’s 1 billion users to speed up mainstream adoption.
TOKEN2049 marks Pi Network’s transition from a community-driven project into a global Web3 leader, emphasizing a shift from liquidity speculation to real-world utility.
🔹 Keynote Highlights (Dr. Fan)
Explored the intersection of AI & blockchain, and how crypto can address the challenge of human labor value in the AI era.

2019 → Mobile mining launch
2021 → Enclosed network (25M users)
2023 → Native KYC rollout
2025 → Open Network launch, onboarding 60M active users into global crypto
Stressed Pi’s KYC success (18M verified) enabling both “migration of existing production on-chain” and “direct creation of new production on-chain,” such as via the AI App Studio, empowering non-technical users to build AI apps.

As a Gold Sponsor, Pi captured global Web3 spotlight, drawing attention from investors, developers, and regulators. Dr. Fan’s keynote was praised as “show-stealing,” with the Pi community celebrating the shift toward “utility, not speculation.”
