The latest major upgrade to Pi Network has been completed: What intruders should know

Pi Network confirms protocol 27 has been completed, followed by protocol 28: node must be updated before October 13th.

Pi Network has announced that Protocol 27 is complete on Pi mainnet and Pi testnet has switched to Protocol 28 immediately after the official deadline of September 15th, a week later without any confirmation from the Core Team at first.

What's this about?

An earlier report byCryptoPotato noted that the Pi Network upgrades this year were a series, starting with version19.6 in February followed by 20.2, 22, 25 and 26, some of which are scheduled to be postponed. Protocol 27 was presented as the last planned upgrade in this sequence and had been targeted for September 15.

By the deadline, Pi Network did not immediately notify a large number of users whether or not an upgrade had been successfully installed, leading some X-users to speculate that the system was already up and running. Later, on September 25, Pi Network , via his @PiCoreTeam account,2026 stated that Protocol 27 has passed and further announced that Protocol 28 is in progress.

The Core Team also scheduled the Node maintainer to update software by October 13, while a protocol upgrade on mainnet was set for October 16.

Protocol 28 changed what under the system?

Protocol 28 focuses on improving the way networks and applications work at an internal mechanical level.

The first thing is dealing with business data latency.

The second thing is that it allows developers to do smart contract upgrades at once, instead of one upgrade at a time.

The third thing is to introduce more secure ways for editing stored data as the application continues to evolve.

Why is this news important to users?

Network upgrades affect not only the version numbers, but also the stability of systems and tools used by developers. If nodes do not update on schedule, node administrators may become incompatible with new protocols; while users generally relying on apps and Pi networks may be indirectly affected by delays in business data and behavior of smart contract .[citation needed]

For general users, updating nodes is the responsibility of infrastructure managers rather than an individual user having to install new software on every machine but should follow announcements from Pi Network 's official account in order to distinguish between testnet and mainnet status and set a deadline.

What should Thai readers check out?

The point to be made is that this news is a protocol update of Pi Network and not confirmation that the Pi asset has been released for trading on Thai platforms or under the regulation of Thai the SEC (Thailand) . If users follow Bitkub or any other Thai platform, they should check out the status of their THB counterpart from the platform itself as well as statements regarding regulations and restrictions on service provision which may differ from global market data.
