Countdown 24h: Activate Protocol 23 (11/5/2026)


This is the "Big Bang Push" for the entire Pi network.
Ready for Smart Contracts Tomorrow, the Pi Blockchain will officially support Smart Contracts. This transforms Pi from a simple payment network into a decentralized computing platform, comparable to Ethereum or Solana but with a much larger real user base.
The Core Team has completed the final checks on the Testnet. Major dApps in the ecosystem are ready to "press the button" to deploy as soon as the new protocol is activated on the Mainnet.
To prepare for Protocol 23, Node operators are in the peak upgrade phase.
Over 200,000 Nodes worldwide have completed the upgrade to version **0.5.x**.
Only 5 days left until the mandatory deadline. Nodes that do not upgrade in time will be disconnected and lose their reward privileges (Node Bonus). This is a filtering step to ensure the network operates smoothly with the new technology.
After the speech by the two founders in Miami a few days ago, a new wave called Pi Commerce is exploding.
The "Pi Map" application officially records over 1 million business points (shops, services) worldwide accepting Pi for small transactions (micro-transactions).
Venture capital funds (VCs) are starting to pay attention to Pi not because of the coin's value, but because of the massive identity platform (KYC) that Pi possesses, which AI projects are eager to use to distinguish real users from bots.
As of today, the number of users who have passed KYC has reached nearly 19 million.
The amount of Pi migrated to the Mainnet is increasing rapidly in preparation for use in upcoming DeFi (Decentralized Finance) dApps launching after tomorrow.
Important Warning (Extremely Important)
In this sensitive time, scam methods are more sophisticated than ever:
Fake "Pi Wallet" apps appear on app stores asking for entering 24 seed phrases to "upgrade to Protocol 23".
You do not need to do anything with your seed phrase to upgrade. The protocol upgrade occurs at the system and Node level, unrelated to your personal wallet. #GateSquareMayTradingShare
