- Pi Network has completed the final Testnet1 upgrade to protocol version 23, bringing it closer to the mainnet launch.
- The update improves scalability, transaction handling, and strengthens the overall ecosystem.
Pi Network has begun the final upgrade on Testnet1, marking a key step toward its mainnet launch. This update moves the network to blockchain protocol version 23, following earlier upgrades from versions 19 through 22. Testnet2 is expected to follow the same process, ensuring both testnets are ready for mainnet activation.
The phased upgrade approach focuses on stability and scalability. Users may experience brief service interruptions, which will be announced in advance. The upgrade strengthens the blockchain’s core structure and APIs, making the platform faster, more reliable, and ready for real-world use.
Pi Network Enhanced Blockchain Performance and Scalability
Protocol version 23 brings major improvements in transaction handling, consensus mechanisms, and communication between nodes. These upgrades allow the network to process higher transaction volumes efficiently, while improving smart contract and API performance.
Developers and network validators are testing Testnet1 to identify and fix any issues before the mainnet launch. User balances are also being mapped from testnet to mainnet, ensuring a smooth transition once the network goes live.
