The new version displayed an excellent performance as the latest block did not record any failed transactions. Also, it confirms the maximum number of transactions per block (up to 1,000 transactions).

The upgrade is also a sign to investors that the network is being developed consistently. Critics claim that the Pi Network has been slow to roll out mainnet updates. However, the activation of this testnet is proof of progress concerning the network’s development.

Pi uses the v23 framework by Stellar to enable its blockchain to expand faster and more efficiently. The new update provides developers with improved pre-systems to test their applications before presenting them to the public through the main network.

In addition, it depicts that the Pi Network is still on track for mainnet activation. This is supported by a recent Onramp listing to boost Pi Coin’s adoption.

The application of protocol v23 will attract more focus since coders and users can verify that the system is efficient. When it succeeds, the main network could possibly adopt the version eventually, leading to further expansion of the ecosystem. Technological advancements, large or small, allows community members to remain optimistic about this blockchain.
