Pi Network has confirmed that the anticipated version 25 will reach completion on July 22. This announcement comes after a period of six weeks without any major updates, offering the community much-needed clarity on the upgrade timeline.
The upgrade aims to enhance both network stability and reliability. Furthermore, it will introduce features supporting more efficient privacy-preserving smart contracts, expanding upon the network's existing smart contract infrastructure. However, specific technical details regarding these new features have not yet been disclosed by the development team.
Development Updates and Challenges
Since the beginning of the year, Pi Network has rolled out several protocol versions, starting with version 19.6. This was followed by version 20.2, which laid the groundwork for smart contracts. The development pace accelerated initially, but slowed down during the second quarter, resulting in fewer significant releases. While versions 22 and 23 were deployed in May, the release of version 24 occurred in early June after a minor delay.
As users await the upcoming version 25, interest has heightened amid continuing volatility for the PI token. The price recently dipped below the crucial $0.10 mark and has been struggling, recording consecutive all-time lows. Though there was a brief recovery above $0.085, renewed selling pressure quickly erased those gains. In the last two weeks alone, the price has seen losses exceeding 35%, leading to ongoing market concerns.
The impending upgrade on July 22 represents a key moment for Pi Network as it seeks to bolster its technical framework and user base. While the Core Team has yet to announce any plans for immediate future upgrades, the completion of version 25 marks an essential step in the network's development.
