After it was successfully upgraded<\/a> by Pi Day (March 14), the team set its sights on the next big move \u2013 moving to protocol 21. However, it didn\u2019t initially provide a specific timeframe for completion, which led some community members to question the actual implementation.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, the Core Team outlined in a post on X hours ago that the Pi Network Mainnet has begun the process of upgrading to protocol 21, and the deadline is April 6. As with all previous such updates, they urged all Mainnet nodes to \u201ccomplete this step before the deadline to remain connected to the network.\u201d<\/p>\n The Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 21 \u2013 Deadline: Apr 6.

At one point, just after Kraken\u2019s announcement, it skyrocketed<\/a> by 30% in 24 hours. Overall, it jumped by nearly 100% in days and marked a multi-month peak of nearly $0.30.<\/p>\n However, once the actual listing became official, it turned out to be another classic sell-the-news event, and PI crashed to under $0.20 instantly. It has remained mostly below that level ever since. It\u2019s now down to under $0.175 after another 3% drop in the past day, as it has lost 13% of its value weekly.<\/p>\n Data from PiScan shows that the average daily unlock of PI tokens will be relatively high for the next month, close to 7 million. There will be several days with over 10 million coins to be released, which is something that could intensify the immediate selling pressure and lead to further declines.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n A publica\u00e7\u00e3o Pi Network\u2019s PI Token Dumps 13% Weekly as Team Announces Crucial Deadline Ahead<\/a> apareceu primeiro em CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Core Team behind the controversial blockchain project has outlined the deadline for the completion of the next major upgrade, which should take place in the next week or so.
