Pi Network Confirms Protocol 28 Mainnet Upgrade Completed Oct. 16

Pi Network confirmed Oct. 22 that its Mainnet completed the Protocol 28 upgrade six days earlier. The upgrade improves delayed transaction-data handling and supports grouped smart-contract updates and safer changes to stored application data.

Protocol 28 lets developers update groups of smart contracts together and change stored application data more safely. The network had set Oct. 16 as the transition date, after giving node operators an Oct. 13 software deadline. Mainnet still appeared as “under upgrade” on its Oct. 16 target date, before the network confirmed completion six days later.

The network’s native token, Pi (PI), traded between $0.07725 and $0.08000 in the Oct. 23 daily market record.

Pi Network also announced Pi Desktop version 0.6.4 on Oct. 22. The update allows remote access to SoloHost apps without changing home router settings and adds checks to limit each app to its own files and network.
