“Tap to Earn” Mobile mining Pi Network has announced a major Mainnet upgrade, and this time the focus is on its Node system. The Core Team has shared a detailed update, asking all Mainnet node operators to complete the first upgrade step before February 15 to stay connected to the network.

Meanwhile, Nodes that fail to upgrade may lose connection to the network.

Pi Network Mainnet Node Upgrade 

According to the Pi core team, Pi Nodes play a key role in the ecosystem. They are described as the “fourth role” in the Pi community, alongside miners, contributors, and ambassadors. 

Nodes are responsible for validating transactions and supporting decentralization across the Mainnet.

Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, which use proof-of-work systems that require heavy computing power, Pi uses a different method called the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP). 

The updated node version includes two parts, the Node interface and the desktop Pi App interface. Users can run a node by installing a desktop application, making the process more accessible for everyday participants without advanced technical knowledge.

The update is part of a broader effort to strengthen the network’s infrastructure and improve long-term stability.
