Pi Network recently announced a significant system upgrade covering three main areas. First, it fixed vulnerabilities in the node system, which is a major benefit for participants who have been running nodes continuously. Previously, many users reported issues such as node disconnections or fluctuations in mining power. This time, the official finally took action to address these problems. For long-term miners, stable node operation means more reliable earning prospects.

Second, the upgrade promotes the development of the gaming ecosystem. The Pi team announced plans to establish partnerships with multiple gaming platforms to explore using Pi as a payment and consumption tool within games. The logic behind this is clear—expanding Pi’s application scope and circulation channels through gaming scenarios. Although the full list of specific gaming collaborations has not been disclosed yet, this direction of exploration is worth paying attention to. The real test lies in whether these partnerships can truly translate into user base growth and increased ecosystem activity.

The third upgrade involves version 2.0 of the identity verification system. The new version reportedly enhances privacy protection and makes the verification process more efficient. From a technical perspective, this is an improvement to the platform’s infrastructure.

However, it’s important to honestly acknowledge some practical challenges: Pi’s mainnet has not yet officially launched, so its current value is mainly based on expectations. The actual results of gaming collaborations and how many new users they can attract are still in the planning stage. Additionally, the regulatory environment remains uncertain, and policy changes could impact the entire ecosystem.

From a deeper perspective, for Pi to truly become a viable application token, the key still lies in solving liquidity and application scenarios. Building a gaming ecosystem is a step, but if the foundation of trading and circulation isn’t solid, the application’s prospects will ultimately be limited. Every update of Pi is a gamble against market skepticism. Whether this upgrade can turn the tide remains to be seen, and time and results will be the ultimate test.

Honestly, the node stability issue should have been fixed a long time ago. It's a bit late to start now. The game collaboration sounds good, but when will it actually be usable? Talking without action is just empty talk. The mainnet hasn't launched yet, and they're already talking about upgrades. That's a bit hollow, friends. Liquidity is the real Achilles' heel. Without solving this, no matter how fancy the game ecosystem is, it’s all pointless. When regulations are unclear, everything else is just floating clouds. It's all about betting on policy. What’s the point of upgrading the certification system? The key is whether people will actually use it. Right now, it’s just speculation about futures. It won't be long before PI proves whether it works or not. Let’s see how many real users it can attract next.

It seems that a few junior programmers at the school are working on it, busy patching bugs every day, with no notable technical highlights. It's mainly driven by the Stellar Protocol upgrade bringing some application feature enhancements.

Another upgrade, another partnership, another plan... sounds good, but what about the mainnet? What about the mainnet? Has the promised gaming ecosystem been implemented? Right now, it's just expectations upon expectations. Let's talk about it when it actually becomes usable.

Is it upgrading again? What about the mainnet? Let's wait until the game launches, brother. Node stability is the real deal; don't just boast. Will this be practical this time? I'm really a bit tired. Fixing bugs alone is useless; what about liquidity? Honestly, we're still in the pie-in-the-sky stage; wait for the mainnet. Frankly, I don't believe it until the game partnership list is announced. It's another Identity Verification 2.0; I'm a bit fed up. The mainnet isn't even live yet, so what application scenarios are there?

Another upgrade, another partnership, still waiting for the mainnet. To be honest, node fixes are a necessity, but the gaming aspect still feels like a castle in the air. The mainnet hasn't launched yet, so what's the point of talking about liquidity? Let's wait and see. Regulation is still uncertain, don't be too optimistic. Having stable nodes at least means no more daily troubleshooting, which is somewhat useful. A good gaming ecosystem sounds nice, but who knows how it will actually be implemented. The key step of liquidity hasn't been achieved yet; no matter how fancy the other features are, they are useless without it. Another round of news and promises, just the old routine. Let's see how many real users can be attracted this time; anyone can boast.

Well... another round of "planned" cooperation. Do I feel like I've seen this trick before? The mainnet is not even in sight yet, but they’re already hyping up the story. Haven’t we seen this routine quite a few times in the crypto world? Node repairs are real, but when it comes to the game part, it’s basically just PPT fundraising. Liquidity isn’t resolved, and everything remains an illusion. Let’s talk again when it actually lists on an exchange. For now, it’s all just pretext.
