Nicolas wrote the smart contract code 4 months ago. v27 will unlock on September 15, exactly the same day as the CLARITY Act vote. Coincidence or strategy?
The evidence is in the code.
On April 17, the smart contracts went live on the testnet. The first contract focused on providing recurring subscriptions for real businesses and was released on GitHub as PiRC2. Moreover, just a few days ago, Nicolas personally updated the official repository.
The code has been quietly sitting on GitHub for 4 months, ready to go live.
Now v27 is scheduled to launch on September 15, exactly the same day as the CLARITY Act vote. The upgrade is described as bringing “more flexible and secure smart contract authentication functionality” to the mainnet.
The dots are connecting:
★ The code is ready—written 4 months ago
★ v27 is ready—scheduled for September 15
★ The CLARITY Act vote is on September 15—regulatory clarity for digital assets
Could this be why PCT has been waiting? Launching a DEX and smart contracts before legal clarity could expose Pi to serious regulatory risks. By aligning v27 with the CLARITY Act vote, Pi is positioning itself as one of the few fully compliant crypto projects.
Smart contracts are the foundation. Without them, there is no DEX, no Launchpad, and no real ecosystem. They have been built. They have been tested. Now, they are waiting for the right moment.
