Pi Network node deadline passes ahead of Protocol 28 Mainnet activation on October 16
- —Node operators had until October 13, 2026, to install Protocol 28 software
- —Mainnet activation is scheduled for October 16, pending rollout completion
- —Pi says the upgrade improves delayed transaction handling and grouped smart contract upgrades
- —No public data on the share of Mainnet validators running v28 or app usage results
Why it matters: Without confirmed validator participation, the October 16 activation could face disruption, and the upgrade's real impact on the PI ecosystem remains unverified.
