Pi Network Upgrades to Protocol v23, Enhancing Transaction Support

Pi Network Protocol Upgrade

  • The Pi Network has upgraded its Testnet 1 blockchain to protocol version 22, with plans for further upgrades to version 23 and the mainnet.
  • Protocol v23 successfully validated block 20,824,824 without failed transactions, supporting up to 1,000 transactions per block.
  • The upgrade aligns Pi Network with Stellar's infrastructure, aiding developers in testing applications before mainnet deployment.
  • A decentralized KYC system is planned, which will support national ID verification and open infrastructure for external projects.

Pi Coin Price Analysis

  • Pi Coin is consolidating within a descending parallel channel, currently priced at $0.3586.
  • The RSI is at 49.82, indicating neutral conditions; the MACD suggests a possible trend reversal if buying volume increases.
  • A breakout above channel resistance could lead to prices of $0.65, $1.00, and $1.67.
  • Failure to break above resistance might result in a drop to $0.32, with potential further decline to $0.18.

Market Cap Considerations

  • A 100x increase to $36+ is unlikely soon due to the current $2.9 billion market cap.
  • If Protocol v23 transitions successfully to the mainnet and adoption grows, long-term potential remains significant.
