Pi Network’s Next Big Update: Another Delayed Arrival?

Ah, the Pi Network saga continues! Despite the price of their token being about as stable as a Jenga tower in a windstorm, and community sentiment fluctuating like a crypto trader’s heart rate, the Core Team soldiers on with their scheduled protocol updates. Bravo, I suppose.

Their latest X post, a masterpiece of technical jargon and cautious optimism, reveals the impending upgrade to Protocol 25. Deadline? June 18th. Mark your calendars, folks, and maybe sacrifice a goat to the blockchain gods while you’re at it.

The Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 25.

Deadline: June 18.

All Mainnet nodes, listen up! You’ve got until the Ides of June to get this done, or you’ll be left in the digital dustbin of history. This upgrade, they say, takes longer than your average coffee break. Plan accordingly, node operators!

Let’s not forget the glorious march of progress that led us here. Protocol updates, those shiny new features everyone craves, started rolling out in February with version 19.6. Then came v19.9, v20.2, v22, and v23, each one arriving with the punctuality of a Swiss train. Most were implemented on schedule, leaving the community with barely enough time to brew a celebratory cup of tea before the next one hit.

Then, like a plot twist in a bad crypto thriller, came Protocol 24. “Deploy by May 15th,” they said. Ha! A week later, they sheepishly admitted it was “one of the most challenging” updates, requiring “multiple subsystem upgrades and optimizations” and, one assumes, a healthy dose of internal screaming.

But fear not, dear Pi pioneers! By June, they’d wrestled the beast to the ground and declared v24 victoriously implemented. And, in a stunning display of foresight, they’ve already set a deadline for the next update: June 18th. Because, as we all know, nothing says “we learned our lesson” like setting another ambitious deadline.

As always, the team reminds node operators to get cracking. This upgrade, like its predecessors, might take longer than a TikTok scroll to complete. So, grab your energy drinks, cancel your social plans, and prepare for another thrilling round of “will it or won’t it?”
