Pi Network’s Testnet 2 completed the Protocol v24 upgrade on June 2, and the mainnet also launched the same version on the same day. The technical core of V24 is the introduction of offline integration. The official Pi Network roadmap defines this as the infrastructure layer for future cross-chain connectivity and smart contract tooling. The official plan for the V25 node version 25.1 upgrade has a deadline of June 15.
V24 Node Upgrade Specifications: All nodes must migrate to version 24.1 by June 2
The execution requirements stated in Pi Network’s official node upgrade plan are: nodes must complete migration to version 24.1 by June 2, 2026; the upgrade path must be carried out sequentially and cannot skip protocol version steps; official technical documentation indicates that upgrade downtime will not exceed 15 minutes. Pi’s protocol evolution is based on a customized Stellar architecture. V24 introduces offline integration capabilities for this architecture, serving as the foundation layer for future integration with external blockchains and Layer-2 solutions.
June Mining Rate Adjustment: 0.0022191 PI per hour, up 4.09% from May
Pi Network’s official announcement shows that the June base mining speed was increased from May’s 0.0021320 PI per hour to 0.0022191 PI, representing a 4.09% increase. Pi Network’s official characterization of this increase is a rare adjustment that runs counter to the recent trend of declining mining speeds.
Next step in the official roadmap: V25.1 deadline is June 15; V26 date not disclosed
According to Pi Network’s official 2026 roadmap, the definitions and time milestones for three versions are as follows:
V24 (completed June 2, 2026): Offline integration
V25 (node version 25.1 deadline June 15, 2026): Real applications
V26 (specific date not yet announced): Fully open for commercial use
Regarding ecosystem applications, CiDi Games attracted more than 81,000 users from 160 countries in its first week after launch.
