Pi Network 已正式將 2026 年 6 月 2 日定為所有主網節點完成升級至通訊協定版本 24.1 的截止期限。根據 Pi 核心團隊的說法，此更新標誌著該專案依序推進通訊協定版本至 26 發布的另一個重要步驟。目前由 23.0 版本遷移至 24.1 的工作已在進行中，多數情況下預期停機時間將低於 15 分鐘。儘管 PiDex 與智慧合約等生態系功能出現延遲，社群情緒仍保持韌性，許多長期持有者仍將在 2026 年期間持續累積 PI 代幣。
Mandatory v24.1 Upgrade Path and Technical Implementation
The Pi Core Team confirmed that every node operator must complete the upgrade to version 24.1 before June 2, 2026. The sequential upgrade path is:
- 19.1 → 19.6 → 19.9 → 20.2
- 21.2 → 22.1 → 23.0
- 24.1 → 25.1 → 26.0
According to developers, version 24 introduces ledger and infrastructure improvements rather than visible user-facing changes. The Pi Core Team outlined upgrade procedures for different node types:
- Windows nodes: Update automatically
- Linux nodes: Upgrade through the new Pi CLI tool
- Legacy Docker users: Manually deploy updated containers
- Expected downtime: Under 15 minutes in most cases
The team advised operators not to upgrade all nodes simultaneously. Instead, they recommended redirecting traffic temporarily to backup nodes or Pi's official mainnet API. Pi Network clarified that ecosystem tools like PiDex and smart contracts are separate from blockchain protocol upgrades.
Infrastructure Focus: Ledger Efficiency and Network Stability
The v24, v25, and upcoming v26 upgrades are designed to strengthen:
- Ledger efficiency
- Node synchronization
- Security architecture
- Smart contract readiness
- Long-term ecosystem scalability
The newly introduced Pi Linux Node CLI simplifies future upgrades by automating Docker management and migrations. This signals Pi Network's shift toward a more stable and scalable infrastructure model, with the project prioritizing foundational stability before activating broader ecosystem functionality.
Community Sentiment and Long-Term Commitment
Community sentiment around Pi Network remains notably loyal compared to most cryptocurrency projects. Longtime supporters have continued mining and holding for years without selling, with many users maintaining continuous mining activity for nearly seven years despite delayed account mapping and ecosystem rollouts. According to advocates, this behavior reflects long-term conviction in the project's future vision.
已確認的下一個里程碑
下一個重大里程碑是於 2026 年 6 月 2 日前完成強制遷移至 24.1 版本。接著將在 2026 年 6 月 15 日推出 v25.1，並在 2026 年下半年更晚些時候最終推出通訊協定 v26。Pi 核心團隊仍專注於在擴展智慧合約、PiDex 與更廣泛的生態系功能之前，透過基礎建設升級來強化網路基礎。
