Published by

Pi Network launched a free RPC endpoint this week on its Testnet at rpc.testnet.minepi.com, giving developers easy access to blockchain data, smart contract testing, and app building on its Stellar-based network. Around April 13, the Mainnet also completed its upgrade to Protocol 21, improving stability and preparing for features like decentralized identity and future smart contracts, although it missed the original April 6 deadline. Supporters see this as steady progress toward a scalable Web3 ecosystem, while critics continue to highlight roadmap delays since its 2019 launch.
