Most major Mainnet nodes have updated ahead of the rollout, with Pi Network also shifting operating systems and databases to improve transaction efficiency.
Pi Network has moved closer to its Protocol 23 rollout after most major Mainnet nodes completed upgrades. The transition includes moving from Ubuntu 20 (Linux operating system) to Ubuntu 24, and from PostgreSQL 12 (database system) to PostgreSQL 16, alongside major data reprocessing intended to improve transaction efficiency. The update suggests the network is preparing its infrastructure for a broader protocol change, with node upgrades serving as a key step in distributed blockchain maintenance.
