Pi Squared Launches VSL Devnet, Ushering In a New Era of Fast Verifiability
In Brief
Pi Squared unlocks fast verifiable AI execution, mirrored blockchains & cross-chain composability via the Verifiable Settlement Layer (VSL)
Pi Squared, the most advanced verifiable payment system and settlement layer for AI and crypto, has announced the launch of the VSL Devnet – a major milestone in building a verifiability-first foundation for decentralized computing.
The VSL Devnet is the first live environment for developers to interact with Pi Squared’s Verifiable Settlement Layer (VSL), a decentralized network designed to enable transparent, programmable, and provable execution across domains. It offers a new programming and composability standard for blockchain, AI, and multichain applications, empowering developers to build with verifiability from the start.
Powerful Core Infrastructure Enables Multichain Innovation
VSL Core Infrastructure enables instant and custom-assets payments, parallel and verifiable settlement, and offers full developer tooling support, powering a wide range of applications. Among these are multichain interoperability, which allows secure cross-chain asset movement integrated with Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT) framework, demonstrating a secure platform for multichain apps and bridges.
It also supports blockchain mirroring, providing live replication of Ethereum and Bitcoin state to facilitate composable multichain development. Additionally, it incorporates AI combined with Trusted Execution Environments, enabling confidential and verifiable AI agent execution through TEE attestations. Each demo is live and available to explore, giving early adopters the chance to build the next generation of applications that cross trust boundaries.
Having raised $12.5 million in seed funding last year, Pi Squared is conducting an additional strategic raise, which will accelerate its mission to fix what today’s blockchain infrastructure can’t: fragmentation and trust. With Pi Squared’s fast payments and verifiable cross-chain settlement layer, apps, agents, and protocols can finally interact across ecosystems—fast, provably, and seamlessly.
Pi Squared Founder and CEO Grigore Rosu is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and a former NASA engineer, where he developed the K Framework – an open-source “Rosetta Stone” for programming language semantics, which is now being utilized by Pi Squared to bring the next million developers to Web3.
“With Web3 still siloed across chains and ecosystems, we want to chart a new path forward, in which correctness, performance and trust are embedded from the start. The Pi Squared VSL Devnet marks a major milestone toward that future, providing a first glimpse at a verifiability-first platform that can unify chains, languages and applications through fast, secure, and programmable infrastructure,” said Grigore Roșu, Founder and CEO of Pi Squared.
“Together with Pi Squared, we share a vision for seamless, secure multichain interoperability, enabling scalable, verifiable computation and asset movement across decentralized ecosystems, while empowering developers to build trustless applications that span multiple blockchains and execution environments. VSL serves as a foundation for this future vision to take shape,” said Dan Reecer, Co-founder of Wormhole Foundation.
Over the next few months, Pi Squared will be extending the VSL network’s capabilities by expanding its decentralized programming capabilities, increasing performance, improving validator coordination, and refining the network workflow. The platform is also actively working on features like signature aggregation and multi-client support to make integration seamless across both AI pipelines and blockchain networks.
Join Pi Squared in Shaping the Future of Verifiable Decentralized Computing
Pi Squared is now inviting infrastructure builders, AI developers, and protocol designers to participate in testing, building, and shaping the next era of verifiable, decentralized computing. Interested individuals can get involved in several ways. They can join the Devnet to explore live demos, create their own applications, and see VSL in action, with more information and requests to join available online.
Those looking to integrate with Pi Squared can partner by filling out a form to be contacted by the team. To stay updated on the latest progress, demos, and developer releases, following Pi Squared on X is recommended.
