Pi Network bulls confront AI KYC overhaul, heavy unlocks, and $10m lawsuit risk

2025/12/10 21:47

Pi Network rolls out AI KYC tools and a CiDi Games tie-up just as PI price slides, whales reload, token unlocks loom, and a $10m fraud lawsuit heads to court.​

Summary
  • Pi Network integrated new AI KYC tools to cut manual checks, widen Mainnet-unlocking access, and improve privacy for Pioneers in regions short on human validators.​
  • The project invested in CiDi Games to build Pi-enabled games and expand real-world token utility while PI price sinks and a major whale resumes aggressive accumulation.​
  • A U.S. investor lawsuit alleges secret multi-billion PI sales, price manipulation, and deliberate Open Mainnet delays, seeking $10m in damages with a Dec. 23 hearing set.

Pi Network has implemented several technical updates in recent weeks while its native token experiences significant price declines and the project faces legal challenges, according to information from the development team and court filings.

Pi Netork changes on the horizon

The Pi Network (PI) Core Team recently integrated additional artificial intelligence tools designed to streamline the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process for users, referred to as Pioneers. According to the announcement, the upgrade addresses validation shortages in regions with limited human reviewers, expands Mainnet-unlocking KYC access for additional users, reduces the number of applications requiring manual review, and enhances privacy protections.

The project also announced a partnership with CiDi Games, a platform that develops Pi-related games. The collaboration aims to expand real-world applications for the PI token and provide additional opportunities for network participants, according to the announcement.

Pi Network currently faces legal action from a group of users who filed a lawsuit alleging the project secretly sold billions of PI tokens, manipulated the token price, and deliberately delayed the Open Mainnet launch. The plaintiffs are seeking $10 million in damages and have named co-founders Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Dr. Chengdia Fan, along with other unnamed individuals, as defendants. A court hearing is scheduled for December 23, 2025, according to court documents.

The PI token has experienced substantial price declines from its earlier 2024 highs, according to market data. Token unlock schedules show more than 182 million PI tokens are scheduled for release over the next 30 days, representing an average daily unlock of over 6 million coins, according to data from the project. Such releases typically increase available supply in the market.

The project’s development team has not issued official statements regarding potential updates planned for early 2025, though speculation exists among community members regarding future announcements.

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base

The post Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kalshi, the US-regulated prediction market exchange, rolled out a new program on Wednesday called KalshiEco Hub. The initiative, developed in partnership with Solana and Coinbase-backed Base, is designed to attract builders, traders, and content creators to a growing ecosystem around prediction markets. By combining its regulatory footing with crypto-native infrastructure, Kalshi said it is aiming to become a bridge between traditional finance and onchain innovation. The hub offers grants, technical assistance, and marketing support to selected projects. Kalshi also announced that it will support native deposits of Solana’s SOL token and USDC stablecoin, making it easier for users already active in crypto to participate directly. Early collaborators include Kalshinomics, a dashboard for market analytics, and Verso, which is building professional-grade tools for market discovery and execution. Other partners, such as Caddy, are exploring ways to expand retail-facing trading experiences. Kalshi’s move to embrace blockchain partnerships comes at a time when prediction markets are drawing fresh attention for their ability to capture sentiment around elections, economic policy, and cultural events. Competitor Polymarket recently acquired QCEX — a derivatives exchange with a CFTC license — to pave its way back into US operations under regulatory compliance. At the same time, platforms like PredictIt continue to push for a clearer regulatory footing. The legal terrain remains complex, with some states issuing cease-and-desist orders over whether these event contracts count as gambling, not finance. This is a developing story.

U.S. AI leaders form foundation to compete with China

U.S. AI leaders form foundation to compete with China

The post U.S. AI leaders form foundation to compete with China appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A group of leading U.S. artificial intelligence firms has formed a new foundation to establish open standards for “agentic” AI. The founding members, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Block, have pooled their proprietary agent- and AI-related technologies into a new open-source project called the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), under the auspices of the Linux Foundation. This development follows tensions in the global race for dominance in artificial intelligence, leading U.S. AI firms and policymakers to unite around a new push to preserve American primacy. Open standards like MCP drive innovation and cross-platform collaboration Cloudflare CTO Dane Knecht noted that open standards and protocols, such as MCP, are critical for establishing an evolving developer ecosystem for building agents. He added, “They ensure anyone can build agents across platforms without the fear of vendor lock-in.” American companies face a dilemma because they are seeking continuous income from closed APIs, even as they are falling behind in fundamental AI development, risking long-term irrelevance to China. And that means American companies must standardize their approach for MCP and agentic AI, allowing them to focus on building better models rather than being locked into an ecosystem. The foundation establishes both a practical partnership and a milestone for community open-sourcing, with adversaries uniting around a single goal of standardization rather than fragmentation. It also makes open-source development easier and more accessible for users worldwide, including those in China. Anthropic donated its Model Context Protocol (MCP), a library that allows AIs to utilize tools creatively outside API calls, to the Linux Foundation. Since its introduction a year ago, MCP has gained traction, with over 10,000 active servers, best-in-class support from platforms including ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and VS Code, as well as 97 million monthly SDK downloads. “Open-source software is key to creating a world with secure and innovative AI tools for…
