Pi continues to expand its global network of Pioneers and partners, and strengthen ecosystem participation, utility, and real user adoption across the world.
More users. More usage. Stronger network
Breaking news 📢 #PiNetwork's latest official update📡 The PCT team released a major update late at night:👏
Not only have we iterated and optimized the v23 protocol node, but the highly anticipated v24 version has also been officially released and launched.🖥
From line after line of code to version push after version update,🎊
there's no such thing as an overnight explosion; it's the culmination of years of accumulation.👍
We've weathered a long period and will finally witness the day when the entire network shines✨🚀
🚨Major Update! #PiNetwork V23 Node Version Officially Launched on GitHub
The official Pi core team has just released the pre-release upgrade package mainnet-v1.1-p23.0.1.
This update optimizes the stability of underlying node operation and fixes two key issues: database permissions and statistical anomalies, paving the way for Testnet2 and Pi DEX.
Attention all Pioneers and node operators:
✅ Self-built nodes can complete image upgrades as needed.
✅ Regular mobile Pioneers do not need to perform any operations for now.
✅ The mainnet's underlying infrastructure continues to be strengthened, further advancing the ecosystem's growth and openness!
Safeguard your computing power and wait for the flowers to bloom. Pi Network's new phase has officially begun! 💚#PiNetwork #V23 #PiNode
The Pi Founders are featured speakers at Consensus 2026 in Miami this week.
Chengdiao Fan will speak on Wednesday, May 6 (11:15–11:35 AM EDT, Convergence Stage) on “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,” exploring how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utility‑driven products and AI‑era business models.
Nicolas Kokkalis will join a panel on Thursday, May 7 (10:15–10:45 AM EDT, Convergence Stage) titled “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself),” exploring how the internet’s trust model is breaking as AI systems become capable of creating bots that can generate profiles and interact like real users.
Together, these sessions highlight Pi’s approach to the AI era: supporting utility-driven products and sustainable business models through blockchain, verified identity, and a globally engaged network, while enabling global identity verification and providing authenticity solutions through Pi’s native KYC solution.
See you there, Pioneers!
#PiNetwork 🗣KOSASIH is not an official Pi member. 🚨 Don't take code randomly forked from GitHub as "official good news." ⚠️ Anyone can write `STABLE_VALUE = $314,159` in Pioneer code; if I wrote `1 Pi = $1 million`, could I also boast about it? This kind of self-indulgent setting has absolutely no real-world support; it's purely a hype tactic to fool newbies. Anyone can set an exorbitant price for Pi in their own code. This kind of self-indulgent setting, besides satisfying hype, doesn't actually help our ecosystem or consensus; on the contrary, it lowers the outside world's perception of the Pi network.🔔
#PiNetwork📢 The founders will both be speakers at Consensus 2026! Dr. Fan Chengdiao will deliver a presentation exploring how Pi's blockchain infrastructure, verified identities, and globally participating network can support utility-driven products and business models in the age of artificial intelligence. Dr. Nicholas Kokkalis will participate in a panel discussion on human identity and authenticity in the world of AI. Don't miss the opportunity to meet these founders in person at Consensus 2026 in Miami for more information🚀
Pi is tackling one of the most urgent problems in the AI era: proving real human identity online.
Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis will speak on a panel at Consensus 2026 on Thursday, May 7, from 10:15-10:45 AM EDT at the Convergence Stage.
The session, “How to Prove You're Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself),” explores how the internet’s trust model is breaking as AI systems become capable of creating bots that can generate profiles and interact like real users.
At the core of the discussion is a simple challenge: how do you verify a real human online without exposing private identity data?
Want to know how? Join us in Miami on May 7th!
See you there!
The Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 22 – Deadline: Apr 27.
All Mainnet nodes are required to complete this step before the deadline to remain connected to the network.
Details here: https://t.co/9VehO7hhj1
🚨Speed matters. A recent test: Pi transaction = instant, Bitcoin = ~45 mins.Our April 22 v22.1 protocol upgrade will further enhance transaction processing, as we build a new standard of efficiency.🚀#PiNetwork
📢BREAKING NEWS
By allowing node operators can run their own RPC servers, it means Pi Network isn’t relying on a few central servers anymore. Instead, it’s building a truly distributed backbone where thousands of nodes around the world handle requests independently.
Think about it like this:
- No single point of failure.
- No waiting on overloaded systems.
- No gatekeepers controlling access.
- Just a network that gets stronger the more people participate.
This move quietly pushes Pi closer to real decentralization — where power isn’t concentrated, but shared. 🖥#PiNetwork
🚨#PiNetwork has released an RPC server, currently available on Testnet, supporting the development, testing, and future deployment of smart contracts within the Pi ecosystem. The RPC server enables developers to build responsive applications, test contract behavior, and integrate services using real-time blockchain data. Node operators and third-party services can also run their own RPC servers. Read the blog to learn more, and explore the RPC capabilities as a developer.🔔👇
#PiNetwork📢The first distribution of KYC Validator rewards is now complete! In this round, rewards were calculated for over 526 million validation tasks completed by more than 1 million validators, demonstrating the scale and capability of Pi’s decentralized human workforce worldwide in driving meaningful real-world outcomes, especially in areas that require human judgment and input. To benefit from future distributions of KYC validator rewards or other decentralized work opportunities, become a KYC validator, complete accurate validation work, and join forces with Pi’s decentralized workforce!🚀🍻
#PiNetwork 📢 Pioneers who just set up Pi nodes have upgraded to p21.2! 🚀 Every upgrade makes us stronger and brings us one step closer to a more scalable ecosystem. 🖥 Running nodes means supporting the future of decentralized technology and being part of a larger cause. Who else has upgraded❓
🚨The future of Pi is being built now. With our new Testnet RPC server live, developers can build the next wave of dApps. This, plus the mandatory v21.2 node upgrade by April 6, strengthens our foundation for a utility-driven Web3 ecosystem.🖥#PiNetwork
🚨Pi Official Announcement: #PiNetwork: On May 18th, all nodes will be upgraded to v23, bringing a comprehensive upgrade to the public chain infrastructure and a concentrated rollout of ecosystem features!
🔥 v23 Core Features Launched
- Smart contracts fully enabled, supporting DeFi, NFT, games, and other dApp development
- On-chain DEX decentralized exchange launched
- KYC on-chain, verification more efficient and compliant
- Linux nodes open, a more robust node ecosystem
- Significantly improved TPS, comprehensively optimized transaction experience
🌐 Ecosystem poised for explosive growth
- Mainnet application studio officially launched, supporting real Pi payments
- Numerous ecosystem applications migrated to the mainnet, commercial applications launched
- Developer tools upgraded, lowering the development threshold
- Ecosystem token framework launched, prioritizing practicality
📌 Open source timeline: I personally believe that full open source will be achieved by 2026, completing the construction of a full public chain.
Schedule: May 18th to v23 upgrade It needs to run stably for a period of time, generally 30-50 days, before being officially released in the second or third quarter. 🖥
v23 is the technical foundation, with the ecosystem flourishing. Open source implementation is guaranteed in 2026. Are Pi pioneers ready❓
