Pi Network 已正式将 2026 年 6 月 2 日定为所有主网节点完成升级到协议版本 24.1 的截止日期。根据 Pi 核心团队的说法，此次更新标志着该项目在按序推进协议版本至 26 发布的过程中又迈出了重要一步。目前从 23.0 版本迁移到 24.1 的工作已在进行中，在大多数情况下预计停机时间低于 15 分钟。尽管 PiDex 和智能合约等生态功能出现延迟，但社区情绪依然保持坚韧，许多长期持有者仍将继续在 2026 年前积累 PI 代币。
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.
已确认的下一里程碑
下一个主要里程碑是截至 2026 年 6 月 2 日的强制迁移到 24.1 版本。随后将在 2026 年 6 月 15 日推出 v25.1，且协议 v26 将在 2026 年下半年某个时间点最终上线。Pi 核心团队仍专注于在扩展智能合约、PiDex 和更广泛的生态功能之前，通过基础设施升级来强化网络基础。
