🚨 Pi Network Mainnet Upgradation...
What It Means for Decentralization, Nodes, and the Stellar $XLM Connection 🌐
Pi Network has announced a critical Mainnet node upgrade, with a firm deadline set for February 15. All Mainnet node operators must complete the first phase of the upgrade to remain connected to the network. Nodes that fail to upgrade risk disconnection and loss of future participation benefits.
🔗 Why nodes matter
According to the Pi Core Team, nodes are the “fourth role” in the Pi ecosystem - alongside miners, contributors, and ambassadors.
⚙️ Built on Stellar-style consensus
Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum’s energy-intensive mining, Pi Network uses the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) - the same family of consensus mechanisms that underpins Stellar and $XLM . This allows Pi to focus on scalability, security, and low energy usage without proof-of-work mining.
The updated node release includes:
• A refreshed Pi Node interface
• An updated desktop Pi App
• Easier setup for everyday users, not just technical experts
🌍 Growing Mainnet participation
The Core Team reports that over 16 million users have already migrated to Mainnet - a strong signal of community engagement as the network prepares for broader decentralization.
📊 Pi price snapshot
Pi is currently trading around $0.134, up roughly 2% in the last 24 hours.
• Short-term support: ~$0.135
• First resistance: ~$0.156
• Major resistance zone: $0.18–$0.20
A daily close above $0.20 would be needed to signal a meaningful trend shift.
As more networks adopt Stellar-inspired infrastructure - the same foundations that power $XLM - the focus is shifting away from mining narratives and toward efficient, compliant, and scalable blockchain systems..
It’s another step in Pi Network’s transition toward a fully decentralized, low-energy blockchain era - one that mirrors the design philosophy long championed by Stellar and $XLM ⭐️
