Following the successful completion of the Protocol 26 upgrade on Pi Mainnet, Pi Testnet is upgrading to Protocol 27!
Protocol 27 introduces more flexible and secure smart contract authentication capabilities, enabling more advanced ways for accounts and applications to authorize transactions. The upgrade continues Pi’s broader work to incorporate newer protocol features and expand the network’s smart contract capabilities.
The target date for the Mainnet upgrade to 27 is September 15, 2026.
Pi Network's final Protocol 23 upgrade lands Monday with smart contracts in tow
@PiCoreTeam confirmed Protocol 23 activates May 18, flipping Pi from a basic mainnet into a programmable L1 with native smart contracts and dApps.
The node deadline was pushed from May 15 to May 19 to keep validators synced, while Pi App Studio now converts AI-generated apps from Claude Code and Codex into Pi-native apps in minutes.
Editor's take: This is potentially the biggest update of the year for crypto.
