SoloHost gives Pioneers more ways to use their computers for local AI and easier access to other self-hosted applications, further extending the utility of Pi Desktop and Nodes beyond blockchain infrastructure.
OpenClaw and the Atlassian MCP Server show how SoloHost can support different types of self-hosted software for different user needs, from local AI agents to more specialized developer utilities.
Through SoloHost, people can benefit from AI while keeping more of their data and computation on their own devices and reducing reliance on third-party remote infrastructure.

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.
Along with the new Node 0.6.2 release, Pi has completed an initial distributed computing functionality test through SoloHost with five volunteer Node runners.
The devices operated by all five participants successfully completed the computing tasks sent to them automatically through a SoloHost app.
The test validated the end-to-end flow of tasks across real devices, including connecting to a Pi coordinator, receiving and processing computing jobs, and reporting results back.
