Gambar Testnet1 Upgrade Begins, Pi Network Prepares to Enter the Mainnet Era

Pi Network’s Testnet1 has now completed its upgrade from version 19 to version 22. Based on official updates, Testnet2 – and eventually the mainnet – will follow in the next few weeks.

During this process, users may experience planned service disruptions. The development team ensures that any disruptions will be announced in advance.

This phased approach continues the previous progress of the Pi Network to version 20, which brought changes to the core blockchain functions and APIs. The final stage of testnet preparation is the achievement of version 23, which the pioneers say will be the technical basis for a secure and extensible mainnet launch.

The timing of this upgrade also coincides with Stellar’s transition to version 23. Experts suggest that Pi Network’s move is aimed at keeping their infrastructure aligned with the platform on which it is based.

The last few weeks have also seen steady progress in account mapping. This process allows balances from the testnet phase to be moved smoothly to the mainnet. Many users have confirmed that their account mapping was successful.

Why Upgrading to Version 23 is Important for Pi Network

Upgrading to version 23 will improve the Pi Network’s ability to handle more transactions and maintain stability under real-world conditions. It will also strengthen the network’s ability to achieve consensus, process transactions, and communicate with various blockchain components.

While developers and validators will test the system first to find and fix potential issues before the full mainnet launch, investors may not feel the impact immediately.

However, many community members see this upgrade as an important turning point that could have the effect of increasing the value of the token.

Beyond technical improvements, the Pi Network project continues to expand its visibility globally. Recently, Pi Network was confirmed as a gold sponsor of the TOKEN2049 conference to be held in Singapore.

The project’s co-founder, Dr. Chengdiao Fan, is scheduled to be a speaker at the event on October 1-2, 2025.

In another development within its ecosystem, a DeFi-based game called PiOnline has been launched on Pi Browser. This launch comes as Pi Network is increasingly focusing on the gaming industry as a key potential to drive ecosystem growth.

Currently, the community’s attention is on the mainnet upgrade, as Testnet2 prepares for its transition to version 23. If successful, the Pi Network will begin providing decentralized utilities as long promised to millions of pioneers around the world.
