The Pi Network Core Team has announced the successful completion of the protocol v19.9 migration. This follows the recent upgrade to v19.6 and positions the network one step away from the major v20 milestone.
According to a team post, the next objective is completing the v20.2 upgrade before Pi Day on March 14, 2026. Node operators have been instructed to upgrade to avoid being disconnected from the network.
The team’s explanatory blog post reiterated that Pi Nodes serve as the “fourth role” in the ecosystem. “Unlike most other crypto projects, the Pi Node will continue to follow the philosophy of user-centric design,” the post stated, highlighting accessibility for everyday users.
PI’s price action shows volatility, having rebounded from an all-time low of $0.13 in February to briefly exceed $0.20. It currently trades above $0.172, marking a 12% increase over the past month.
Data from PiScan reveals a scheduled token unlock schedule averaging 6.8 million PI daily. A significant unlock of nearly 21 million tokens is set for March 7, among other days with over 15 million unlocks.
