PI NETWORK HITS 421K ACTIVE NODES AHEAD OF PROTOCOL 23
@PiCoreTeam now reports 421,000 active mainnet nodes and over 10 billion $PI migrated to mainnet, the largest validator footprint of any major L1.
Protocol 23, which activates full smart contract functionality, has been moved up one week to May 11. Roughly 3M $PI has flowed onto centralized exchanges in recent weeks as holders position around the upgrade.
For a network that spent years dismissed as a "fake mining app," the on-chain numbers are starting to look serious.
Pi Mainnet Set For Protocol 22 Upgrade
Pi Network (@PiCoreTeam) has officially announced the Mainnet upgrade to Protocol 22 with a mandatory completion deadline of April 27.
Every Mainnet node operator is required to finish the update before this cutoff to maintain their connection to the network.
This technical shift is a critical step in stabilizing the infrastructure as the ecosystem prepares for increased transaction volume and peer-to-peer commerce.
