Pi Networks CiDi Games unveils blockchain gaming roadmap days before Consensus 2026
CiDi Games published a roadmap on May 3 for building a gaming layer on Pi Network. It covers a developer SDK, a browser-based gaming hub, and tools for outside studios to integrate Pi payments into their own games. Pi co-founders Chengdiao Fan and Nicolas Kokkalis speak at Consensus 2026 in Miami two days later. The conference runs May 5 to 7. The roadmap was almost certainly timed to land before they took the stage. CiDi began Q1 2026 trials without releasing data CiDi started trial operations in Q1 2026 but has not released player counts, engagement numbers, or transaction volume. The SDK is designed to handle wallet connections, payments, and on-chain features so games can plug into Pis login and wallet system. Everything runs in HTML5, so games load in a browser without downloads. As Cryptopolitan reported in November 2025, the original Pi Network and CiDi Games partnership was built around an H5 browser platform for casual games. The May 3 roadmap extends that to outside developers as well. Pi Network Ventures, the $100 million fund backing CiDi, made the studio one of its earliest investments. Pis accessibility bet against Immutable, Ronin, and Sui CiDi enters a competitive field. Immutable runs gas-free NFT transactions on Ethereum Layer
