Pi Network Set for Mandatory Upgrade Deadline Amid Community Growth

Pi Network has announced a critical upgrade deadline of April 6, which marks a significant milestone in its development roadmap. The Protocol v21.2 update is mandatory for all Mainnet node operators, who must complete the upgrade to remain synchronized with the network.

The upgrade aims to unify the Pi Network and improve its scalability, setting the stage for upcoming features like decentralized exchange (DEX) and DeFi tools. Additionally, the new protocol version will enhance performance, stabilize transaction processing, and prepare the network for higher transaction volumes.

Pi Network has also revealed a plan to move to Protocol v22.1 on April 22, which will further improve transaction processing and node interactions. The next major upgrade is scheduled for May 18, introducing full smart contract support and Web3 functionality.
