Pi Network Upgrades Mainnet Blockchain to Protocol v26
Pi Network has upgraded its Mainnet blockchain to Protocol v26, requiring Node operators to update their software. The upgrade includes improvements to SoloHost, Node connectivity, and the Pi Desktop user experience.
The new Node version is 0.6.2, which adds updates related to how users run and manage the Node software. This release comes as Mainnet operators work through the separate Protocol v26 migration.
Pi Network's upgrade focuses on contract safety, state management, interoperability, and cryptographic capabilities, affecting market trust. Node operators must complete the Protocol v26 upgrade by August 11 to remain connected and avoid potential financial losses.
