Pi Network requires all Mainnet nodes to complete the Protocol 23 upgrade by May 15 to stay connected to the network. This upgrade takes longer than previous ones, so node operators are urged to start early. The update supports Pi's goal of building a decentralized blockchain infrastructure accessible to everyday users, with SuperNodes playing a critical role by maintaining constant connection and passing KYC. This step advances Pi Network's transition from testing to full Mainnet operation with real transaction capabilities.
