In a turning point for the Pi Network’s (PI) adoption, one of the founders is set to deliver a key speech with a potentially ground-breaking update. Dr. Chengdiao Fan, one of Pi’s chain founders, is going to focus on blockchain tech in real societal utility, digging deep into the positive impact crypto’s real-world utility can bring.
Previously, Pi Network had already garnered a Gold Sponsorship status for this key annual crypto event. TOKEN2049 is going to include other prominent crypto business figures, including but not limited to TRON’s (TRX) Justin Sun, Cardano’s (ADA) Charles Hoskinson & Binance’s CEO Richard Teng.
Why Are Pioneers So Excited About This Speech?
Notably, this marks a crucial step in Pi Network’s engagement with the broader community, which paves the way for interoperability between Pi & other popular blockchains. Despite starting off strong with a $2.99 all-time high one week into the mainnet’s launch back in Feb, 2025, Pi Network struggled since due to lack of exchange listings.

On top of that, Pi Core’s last communication on a major crypto event bore fruit in a $100 million decentralized application (dApp) fund to bolster the network’s usage through legally-compliant Web3 apps. The developer team launched a Pi Hackathon recently for the same cause, encouraging on-chain developers to build on Pi Network before the listings start pouring in.
Kicking off on October 1 and going for 2 days with a plethora of digital asset-related discussions & workshops, the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore brings over 550 exhibitors, 350 speakers & over 25,500 attendees together. For those Pioneers that won’t be able to make it live, Pi’s Core team will broadcast Dr Fan’s session live via official channels.
