Pi Network went live with Protocol Version 25 on its Mainnet, confirming the upgrade is fully operational across the active network rather than confined to a test environment.
The release continues a structured sequence of improvements that began at Version 19, with each iteration designed to reinforce the blockchain's infrastructure and network reliability.
No detailed changelog for Version 25 has been published by the team, but the deployment itself confirms that the changes passed internal validation before going live.
Testing is already moving ahead of the current release. Testnet 1 is now running Protocol Version 26, meaning developers are evaluating the next upgrade in a sandboxed environment before any mainnet rollout.
That staged approach, test first, deploy second, is how Pi Network has handled every protocol step since Version 19, giving the team room to catch issues before they reach real users.
On the price side, PI was changing hands at $0.09135 as of the latest CoinMarketCap data, down 1.97% over the prior 24 hours despite the mainnet milestone.
Demand picked up after a period of decline, according to Tokocrypto data, pushing the token back to that same $0.09135 level and drawing attention to the resistance band between $0.095 and $0.100.
A clean break above $0.10 would shift short-term sentiment, but analysts tracking the pair say trading volume needs to expand meaningfully before any directional change can be confirmed as sustained.
Heavier buy-side volume would signal durable demand rather than a temporary bounce, raising the probability of a breakout through the $0.10 ceiling.
With Version 26 already in testing and Version 25 fully deployed, the gap between protocol development and price action remains the defining tension for PI holders watching both feeds simultaneously, much like traders following Galaxy Digital's $5M bet on Bitcoin's quantum resistance track infrastructure upgrades alongside market moves.
