Pi Network pushes Protocol 23.0 migration deadline to May 19, 2026

Pi Network announced that the deadline for migrating to Protocol 23.0 has been extended from May 15 to May 19, 2026. The revised upgrade targets improved node‑database performance and smoother validator synchronization after the migration, giving operators four additional days to install the updated release before the final cutoff.

The network also highlighted new capabilities in Pi App Studio, which can now convert AI‑generated code from Claude and Codex into Pi‑native applications within minutes, supporting faster developer onboarding. No infrastructure failures were cited, and the deadline extension is presented as a quality‑focused decision to ensure stable node operations as the platform advances toward mainnet functionality and smart‑contract support.
