Pi Network Founder to Speak at TOKEN2049

In a recent blog post, Pi Network shared that one of its founders, Dr. Chengdiao Fan, will address the audience at TOKEN2049 in Singapore on October 1–2, 2025. The Pi Network founder session is expected to focus on how blockchain can generate real-world utility, utilizing the opportunities that Web3 innovation provides. 

This announcement comes after Pi Network secured Gold Sponsorship of the event. The speaker lineup also includes top executives, such as Binance CEO Richard Teng, TRON founder Justin Sun, and Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev. 

Also, Aave’s Stani Kulechov and Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson are expected to make an appearance. Even members of the Trump family, through World Liberty Financial, have also confirmed attendance. 

TOKEN2049 has become one of the most influential conferences in the blockchain calendar. This year, the event is projected to attract over 25,000 attendees, 300 speakers, and 500 exhibitors. 

The conference agenda includes the Origins Hackathon and the Nexus Startup Competition. These events help new projects gain attention from major venture capital firms.

Pi Coin Continues Visibility Push Amid Expanding Ecosystem

The TOKEN2049 move by the platform suggests its intent to engage directly with investors and senior executives in the cryptocurrency industry. Analysts believe this is an avenue for the project to demonstrate its progress in developing its ecosystem. This move can serve as a way to build strategic partnerships.

This could also provide the project with direct access to key figures in the rapidly expanding blockchain sector. More than half of the conference’s attendees hold C-level positions. This could offer the project direct access to core leaders of the growing blockchain industry.

Alongside keynote speeches, the program includes hackathons and networking sessions. This creates a space where the project can show its new ideas and work with more businesses.

In another move to increase reach, Pi Coin was recently listed on Onramp Money. This expands its access across more than 60 countries. This integration expands Pi’s user base by allowing direct purchases using regional payment methods.

It’s also important to note that Pi Coin has been working on expanding its ecosystem. For instance, Pi Network will upgrade its protocol from version 19 to version 23. This upgrade is inspired by Stellar’s design and aims to improve how the network functions.

Pi Network’s strong attendance at one of the year’s most prominent blockchain events demonstrates its intention to develop its ecosystem and broaden its Web3 reach.
