In a major step toward integrating blockchain with artificial intelligence, Pi Network Ventures, the venture capital arm of Pi Network, has announced its first strategic investment in OpenMind — a company developing an open-source operating system and protocol designed to help robots think, learn, and work together, often described as an “Android for robots.”

Launched in May 2025 by the Pi Foundation, Pi Network Ventures aims to accelerate projects that expand the utility of Pi and connect blockchain technology to real-world innovation. The investment in OpenMind underscores this mission, combining Pi’s decentralized ecosystem with OpenMind’s vision of enabling machine collaboration through shared intelligence.
OpenMind’s infrastructure focuses on building a decentralized intelligence layer, allowing robots and intelligent systems to interact and operate securely without relying on centralized control. This aligns closely with Pi Network’s commitment to open innovation and equitable access in the digital economy.
In addition, Pi Network and OpenMind have successfully completed a proof-of-concept project where volunteer Pi Node operators ran OpenMind’s AI models on their nodes. The experiment demonstrated that Pi’s global network — with over 350,000 active Nodes — can be used for decentralized computing, creating potential new utilities for Node operators to earn Pi by contributing computing power to AI workloads.
Through this collaboration, Pi Network Ventures is positioning itself at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and robotics, paving the way for a future where decentralized networks support real-world innovation and economic participation in the AI-driven era.
