Pi Network has instructed all Mainnet node operators to upgrade to Protocol 28 software by October 13, 2026, ahead of the planned Mainnet activation on October 16. This upgrade aims to improve transaction delay handling and enable safer grouped smart contract updates. However, no public data confirms node compliance or real-world application use yet, so the actual impact remains to be seen. The network's stablecoin partnership is still exploratory and not tied to this upgrade, making the technical rollout the main focus for now.
Pi Network's node upgrade deadline has passed, providing a timely backdrop for market data.
