“Tap to Earn” Mobile mining Pi Network has announced a major Mainnet upgrade, and this time the focus is on its Node system. The Core Team has shared a detailed update, asking all Mainnet node operators to complete the first upgrade step before February 15 to stay connected to the network.

Meanwhile, Nodes that fail to upgrade may lose connection to the network.

Pi Network Mainnet Node Upgrade

According to the Pi core team, Pi Nodes play a key role in the ecosystem. They are described as the “fourth role” in the Pi community, alongside miners, contributors, and ambassadors. 

Nodes are responsible for validating transactions and supporting decentralization across the Mainnet.

Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, which use proof-of-work systems that require heavy computing power, Pi uses a different method called the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP). 

The updated node version includes two parts, the Node interface and the desktop Pi App interface. Users can run a node by installing a desktop application, making the process more accessible for everyday participants without advanced technical knowledge.

Pi Node Operators Face Deadline Of February 15

The Pi Core Team also highlighted that more than 16 million users have successfully migrated to the Mainnet, showing strong community participation.

In a recent tweet post, the team stated that all Mainnet node operators must complete the first phase of the upgrade before February 15 to stay connected to the network.

The update is part of a broader effort to strengthen the network’s infrastructure and improve long-term stability.

Pi Coin Price Analysis

As of now Pi network native coin is currently trading around $0.134, showing a 2% rise in the past 24 hours.

On the Pi/USDT daily chart, the price is moving near the lower edge of a falling channel. This area, around $0.135, may act as short-term support. If the price falls below this range, it could lead to new lows.

On the upside, the first resistance level is near $0.156. A stronger resistance zone is seen between $0.18 and $0.20. For the trend to change, Pi needs a daily close above $0.20 with strong buying support.
