Pi Network co-founder Chengdiao Fan gave possibly the most discussed keynote at TOKEN2049 Singapore by describing a future in which blockchain is no longer a hype and speculation topic but a full-scale real-world usage tool. In her talk, which was called Crypto Future: Liquidity to Utility, she highlighted how Pi Network is going to redefine the mainstream adoption of crypto.
After identifying blockchain’s largest weaknesses as being accessibility, scalability, and global usability, Fan defined the mission of Pi as one that would address the aforementioned issues and as a project positioned as a solution driven ecosystem, but not a speculative token.
Artificial Intelligence, International Collaboration, and End-user Adoption Go Front and Center
Fan unveiled a roadmap that is heavily based on AI-driven dApps, user-friendly tools, and community-based development. Pi Pioneers are 50 + million people who are at the centre of operations and serve as both testers and accelerators of new applications. She identified three significant pillars of the future of Pi:
- AI Implementation: Pi intends to integrate artificial intelligence in developer tools and ecosystem applications to make transactions easy and user experiences simple.
- International Relationships: Pi is looking to broaden the application of payments and enhance global merchant relationships to enhance the usability of Pi Coin in daily life.
- Community Innovation: Fan focuses on enabling Pioneers to create and develop purposeful dApps and bring Pi a step closer to a self-sovereign economy.
- Such a strategy entrenches the vision of Pi Network to change the nature of the crypto stories, by not focusing on trading charts, but real-life functionality.
Push toward a Utility-First Future by Pi Network
One thing was very clear in the message posted by Fan: Pi Network is interested in providing the transition to utility-based adoption, rather than liquidity-based speculation. The future of crypto markets around the world sees Pi developing a real economy that is supported by users, apps, and merchant activity – establishing the foundation of a sustainable value system. When implemented successfully, such a roadmap can reestablish the role of Pi in the Web3 ecosystem and reinvigorate the movement among its huge global community.

Pi Network PIRC baseline protection mechanism sparks controversy, implying a “quasi-stablecoin” logic
Pi Network member Daniel F raised a logical contradiction in the PIRC token design, noting that if it has a 23.8% floor protection, it would need to behave like a stablecoin, which conflicts with its high volatility on CEX. This floor is based on Pi’s price calculations; if Pi itself fluctuates significantly, it will be unable to effectively protect holders. Daniel emphasized the importance of transparency, but the project team did not respond to it, leading the community to continue speculating about the reasons for its silence.
