At a Consensus 2026 panel, Nicolas Kokkalis said Pi Network’s Layer 1 blockchain, identity verification, payments infrastructure, non-custodial wallets (user-controlled crypto wallets), smart contracts (self-executing blockchain code), and global community can help prove human identity without exposing personal data.
Pi founder Nicolas Kokkalis spoke at a Consensus 2026 panel about proving human identity in the artificial intelligence era without doxing (publicly exposing personal identity). According to the source, he highlighted Pi Network’s Layer 1 blockchain (base blockchain network), identity verification, payments infrastructure, non-custodial wallets (user-controlled crypto wallets), smart contracts (self-executing blockchain code), and its global community as key parts of that approach. The remarks frame Pi Network’s existing blockchain and payment-related tools as relevant to digital identity challenges as AI systems make distinguishing humans from bots more important.
