Review of Slice Test Pi transactions.
Slice Test Pi has been added to the testnet wallet. Have you purchased yours?
The Slice Testnet event is now live.
Collect or purchase using Test Pi today; I bought mine with 50 Test Pi today.
GCV Belongs to All Global Pioneers and Community Leaders
GCV does not belong to me, one person, one group, or one organization. GCV belongs to all global pioneers and community leaders who believe in the future of the Pi ecosystem and real utility.
The Global GCV Core Team consists of community members from around the world who share the same vision and who support my educational direction and strategies. Because of this, we have a regulation system to help protect the credibility, reputation, and integrity of the GCV Core Team.
However, this does not mean that GCV supporter must receive an appointment from the Global GCV Core Team.
We encourage community leaders, educators, influencers, and pioneers worldwide to support GCV in their own way. There is no requirement to follow my educational style or strategies. Different communities may have different approaches, and that is completely acceptable in a decentralized ecosystem.
I am also only a pioneer. Community leaders do not need my endorsement as long as pioneers trust and follow their leadership.
This is a decentralized community built by pioneers from all over the world.
Even if someone does not support GCV, I still respect them as long as they sincerely support the growth and success of the ecosystem.
Unity, mutual respect, and freedom of thought are important foundations for a healthy community.

🚀🚀🚀 PI NETOWRK NEWS: 🚀 PI NETWORK API PROTOCOL V23 UPDATE – TESTNET, TESTNET2 & MAINNET
The Pi Network ecosystem is entering an extremely important technical upgrade phase as Pi’s Horizon APIs are now showing a transition toward the new Protocol 23 architecture, especially across the Testnet and Testnet2 environments. This indicates that Pi Network is preparing a much stronger infrastructure for the future era of Smart Contracts, dApps, and ecosystem expansion.
🌐 Current Major Pi Network APIs
🔹 Testnet API
Pi Testnet API : https://t.co/EIyAP9WXqv
🔹 Testnet2 API
Pi Testnet2 API: https://t.co/c30sCEkUun
🔹 Mainnet API
Pi Mainnet API: https://t.co/5S5CjnrYR4
------
🔥 1. TESTNET HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO PROTOCOL 23
The API data shows:
- current_protocol_version: 23
- supported_protocol_version: 23
- core_supported_protocol_version: 23
- horizon_version: 23.0.0
- stellar-core 23.0.2
This confirms that:
✅ Pi Testnet is now fully running on Protocol 23
✅ Horizon and Stellar Core infrastructure have been upgraded
✅ The ledger system is operating stably above 24 million ledgers
📌 Major Technical Significance
Protocol 23 within the Stellar ecosystem is commonly associated with:
- Smart Contract readiness
- RPC service architecture
- Better processing performance
- Modern ledger management
- Support for more advanced dApps
Improved node sync and Horizon optimization
This aligns with recent developments related to:
- Pi App Studio
- AI-generated apps
- Smart Contracts
- Pi-native dApps
------
🚀 2. TESTNET2 IS BEING USED AS AN ADVANCED TESTING ENVIRONMENT
Testnet2 has also:
- Upgraded to Protocol 23
- Running Horizon 23.0.0
- Running Stellar Core 23.0.1
This environment may be functioning as a:
✅ staging environment
✅ migration testing environment
✅ node upgrade testing network
✅ smart contract service testing layer
✅ new RPC architecture validation network
------
🧠 3. WHAT DOES THE DOCKER NODE LOG REVEAL?
The Docker Pi Node logs you provided indicate that a major system upgrade has taken place.
🔹 PostgreSQL Upgraded from v12 ➜ v16
The log confirms:
postgres: detected v12, upgrading to v16
This is extremely important because:
- PostgreSQL 16 is significantly more powerful
- Better database performance
- Improved ledger indexing capability
- Higher scalability for Horizon
- Optimized blockchain explorer queries
🔹 Stellar RPC Service Has Been Added
Migration log:
004_add_stellar_rpc_service.sh
This indicates that Pi Node is now integrating:
✅ RPC architecture
✅ smart contract foundations
✅ a new API execution layer
✅ compatibility with Soroban-style architecture
🔹 Horizon + Stellar Core + RPC Are Now Integrated
The logs confirm:
- stellar-core initialized
- horizon initialized
- stellar-rpc initialized
This demonstrates that:
🔥 Pi Node is no longer just a simple ledger node
🔥 It is evolving into a programmable blockchain ecosystem
------
⚙️ 4. THE NEW APIs SHOW THAT THE ECOSYSTEM IS EXPANDING
Several important endpoints stand out:
💱 Order Book API
/order_book
This enables:
- asset trading
- market making
- liquidity management
💧 Liquidity Pool API
/liquidity_pools
This forms the foundation for:
- DeFi
- swap systems
- AMM infrastructure
- decentralized liquidity
🔄 Trade Aggregation API
/trade_aggregations
This allows:
- volume analytics
- trading statistics
- charting systems
- market analytics
🧭 Path Payment APIs
/paths/strict-send
/paths/strict-receive
These are extremely important for:
✅ multi-asset payments
✅ payment routing
✅ cross-asset transfers
✅ merchant ecosystem development
------
🌍 5. MAINNET IS STILL RUNNING ON PROTOCOL 22
Mainnet currently shows:
- current_protocol_version: 22
- stellar-core 22.1.0
- horizon_version 22.0.3
This is highly significant.
📌 Strategic Meaning
The Pi Core Team appears to be:
✅ testing Protocol 23 on Testnet/Testnet2 first
✅ validating node stability
✅ testing database migrations
✅ verifying RPC services
✅ checking compatibility and performance
Once everything is fully stable:
🚀 Mainnet will likely be upgraded to Protocol 23 in the next stage.
------
🔥 6. THE MOST IMPORTANT SIGNAL: PI IS MOVING CLOSER TO A REAL ECOSYSTEM
These upgrades clearly show that Pi Network is:
- upgrading backend infrastructure
- preparing smart contracts
- building RPC architecture
- supporting dApps
- preparing ecosystem economy expansion
- improving real-world transaction capabilities
Pi is no longer just a “simple blockchain.”
Pi is gradually evolving into:
🌐 A Complete Programmable Blockchain Ecosystem
including:
- Nodes
- Horizon
- RPC services
- Smart Contract support
- Liquidity architecture
- Trading infrastructure
- Payment routing
- dApp ecosystem
🟣 INSIGHT FOR THE GCV PIONEER COMMUNITY
For the GCV community, these are extremely important signals:
✅ Pi infrastructure is maturing
✅ Nodes are receiving major upgrades
✅ APIs are expanding toward a financial ecosystem
✅ dApps and Pi commerce are getting closer
✅ Building a real GCV ecosystem is becoming increasingly feasible
Once Mainnet upgrades to Protocol 23, it could become a major turning point for:
- Pi commerce
- GCV ecosystem development
- merchant payments
- smart contract utilities
- Pi-based financial services
------
📌 CONCLUSION
The latest Pi Network API updates reveal that:
🔥 Testnet and Testnet2 are already running Protocol 23
🔥 Docker Pi Node has undergone a major upgrade with PostgreSQL 16 + RPC
🔥 Horizon and Stellar Core are being modernized
🔥 Pi Network is preparing for Smart Contracts and dApps
🔥 Mainnet will likely follow with a future Protocol 23 upgrade
This is one of the strongest technical signals yet showing that Pi Network is moving closer to becoming a fully scalable global blockchain ecosystem. 🚀🚀🚀
