The following one, v19.9, arrived in early March, while perhaps the most significant, v20.2, which laid out the foundations for smart contract capabilities, was implemented by PiDay (March 14).<\/p>\n<p>The team continues with frequent protocol upgrades in April as well, with version 21 deployed at the beginning of the month, while, as <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-networks-pi-token-rebounds-swiftly-as-team-confirms-long-awaited-update\/\">reported<\/a> earlier today, version 22 came at the end of the month, even though it was confirmed on May 1.<\/p>\n<p>The Core Team first only hinted at the next in its roadmap, version 23, and told the vast number of Nodes to wait for more information on the matter and it didn\u2019t take long before it was announced.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier today, the only official X account linked to Pi Network said protocol update 23 will be implemented by May 15.\u00a0As usual, all Nodes have to complete the necessary steps to ensure they are not disconnected from the network.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 23 \u2013 Deadline: May 15.<\/p>\n<p>All Mainnet nodes are required to complete this step before the deadline to remain connected to the network.

Last week, while BTC and most alts stood still and even charted some losses, PI <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-network-team-announces-another-massive-milestone-as-pi-resurgence-continues\/\">went on an impressive run<\/a>, surging from $0.17 to $0.20.<\/p>\n<p>As the market began its post-FOMC recovery on Thursday, PI was <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-networks-pi-rally-comes-to-an-end-with-massive-10-daily-drop\/\">rejected<\/a> at that monthly high and slumped to $0.17. The gains coincided with growing anticipation for the announcement of the new protocol update, alongside another team statement regarding the completion of over 526 million tasks from a million verified users.<\/p>\n<p>As such, the question now is whether PI will outperform in the following weeks before version 23 is officially deployed.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-networks-new-deadline-what-does-the-next-big-update-mean-for-the-pi-token\/\">Pi Network\u2019s New Deadline: What Does the Next Big Update Mean for the PI Token<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The team behind the controversial project has outlined the new deadline for the completion of the latest protocol update, version 23.
