The latest update from Pi Network explained – and why it is a big problem

Tl; Dr.

• The team behind Pi Network introduced a new update a few days ago that many users have wanted for years – support for Linux.
• This is why the core team believes that it can be a game changer, at least for those who choose to use the alternative operating system.

Why was the Linux addition done?

When Cryptopotato The PI -Ecosystem reported at the end of last week, has expanded its OS options outside of Windows and Mac with the release of its Linux junction software. The movement strives to improve the decentralized backbone of the project, because the team is also preparing for an important protocolupgrade of version 19 to 23.

It is clear that the introduction of a third OS alternative makes greater flexibility for developers and partners possible. So far, many of them had to rely on custom node builds to work with PI’s infrastructure. Now they can migrate to standardized node software, which ensures faster maintenance, more smoother protocol updates and overall network consistency.

For the SAVVY technology, the Linux node makes more participation in the ecosystem, although it is not directly linked to mining rewards. It still offers a broader accessibility for developers and open-source contributors who prefer such environments.

The above -mentioned upgrade from version 19 to 23 is considered the most ambitious thing about the protocol as the most ambitious one. It is influenced by Stellar and is intended to bring extensive functionality and improved control layers. The rollout will be performed in a few steps to minimize disruption:

1. TestNet1 -Upgrades start this week, with small malfunctions possible as the new community junction container is used.
2. Testnet2 and Mavet will follow in the coming weeks, bringing the entire ecosystem to protocol version 23.
3. Short malfunctions can also influence centralized exchanges (CEXS) if they adapt to the upgrade.

This upgrade is also intended to tackle some of the KYC problems with the project, but we will spend a separate article about this, because to say the least there have been community refund or doubts.

Pi -token responds

Perhaps driven by these positive developments within the wider PI -Ecosystem, the native token of the protocol is one of the few who ended the week in the Green. Unlike most of his Altcoin brothers, PI has risen by more than 5% since this time last week and he has been trading almost $ 0.37 from the moment of press.

Remember that it was active on 26 August from $ 0.33 (on Coingecko) to a new all time, but has recovered 10% of the value since then. However, it could be confronted with some improved sales pressure the following days due to the large number of token dislocations that are planned for September 2 and September 6. After that, however, the unlocks must reduce pressure, at least in theory.
