👍 Pi Node – One Step Closer to User-Centric Decentralization
💠 The Pi Mainnet blockchain protocol is currently undergoing major upgrades — and ALL Mainnet Nodes must complete the first upgrade step before 🗓️ Feb 15, 2026 to remain connected to the network. ⚠️
━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌐 What is Pi Node?
Pi Nodes run on desktops & laptops and help:
✅ Validate transactions
✅ Strengthen network security
✅ Support decentralized consensus
✅ Build the future of Web3 accessibility
Unlike traditional blockchains, Pi uses the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) — allowing trusted groups (quorum slices)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💻 Levels of Participation
🔺 Computer App – Access Pi chats, media & app features on desktop
🔺 Node – Verify blockchain data & submit transactions
🔺 SuperNode – Maintain consensus + keep the network synced 24/7
🟡Pi continues its mission of progressive decentralization,
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
😊 MANDATORY UPGRADE PATH
➡️ 19.1 → 19.6 → 19.9 → 20.2 → 21.1 → 22.1 → 23.0
🔥 CURRENT ACTIVE STEP:
✅ Upgrade to v19.6
🗓️ Deadline: Feb 15, 2026
🚫 Do NOT begin future upgrades until officially activated.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧭 Quick Node Upgrade Notes
🖥️ Windows / macOS (Pi Desktop)
➡️ Automatic upgrade — just start Pi Node.
🐧 Linux (Pi Node CLI)
➡️ Run: pi-node update-protocol
⏱️ Migration may take hours (reingestion process).
🐳 .Self-Managed Docker Nodes
⚠️ Avoid upgrading all nodes simultaneously — divert traffic during migration.
🔥 WHY THIS MATTERS
🌐 Stronger decentralization
⚡️ Improved performance & scalability
🧩 Better consensus reliability
🚀 ..Preparation for fully decentralized Mainnet
Every active node helps future of the Pi ecosystem.
