Pi Network issued a reminder on Wednesday urging Mainnet node operators who have not yet upgraded to Protocol v25 to do so as soon as possible to remain connected to the network.

According to the Pi Core Team, the majority of Mainnet node operators have already completed the upgrade. The process is described as straightforward and should take only a few minutes to complete, consistent with previous protocol upgrades on the network.

How Pi Nodes Work

Pi Network nodes run on a consensus algorithm based on the Stellar Consensus Protocol rather than the proof-of-work model used by Bitcoin and Ethereum. Nodes form trusted groups called quorum slices and reach agreement on transactions based on a global trust graph built from security circles, the mutual trust connections established by Pi’s mobile users.

Reminder for all Pi Mainnet Node operators: The majority of Mainnet node operators have already successfully upgraded to Protocol v25. If you have not yet upgraded your node, please do so at your earliest convenience to remain connected to the network.

As with previous…

Node software runs on desktop and laptop computers rather than mobile phones. There are three levels of participation: Computer App, which offers a desktop interface for checking balances and chatting without running blockchain validation; Node, which verifies blockchain validity and submits transactions after passing a selection process; and SuperNode, which forms the backbone of the network and is responsible for reaching consensus, requiring 24/7 uptime and a stable internet connection.

Selection for Node and SuperNode roles is based on criteria including uptime, internet connection quality, processor and memory capacity, prior community contributions, and trust scores derived from security circles. Selected applicants are required to complete KYC verification before being enrolled to serve on the network.

What Operators Need to Do

Pi Network has not indicated a deadline for the v25 upgrade but has advised operators to complete it promptly to avoid disconnection from the network. Further technical details on the upgrade process were shared in the official announcement.

Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners

If Anthropic's IPO goes smoothly and the stock price rises next week, then everything remains the same for AI. Otherwise, some companies will go bankrupt.

The shrinking valuations of two major giants have triggered a chain reaction—investors are adopting more conservative revenue multiples for AI startups and are directly halting high-valuation financing for companies with zero revenue. Multiple venture capital firms have advised their portfolio companies to lower valuation expectations and to quickly build up cash reserves. Market participants warn that the outcome of Anthropic’s IPO will be a barometer for the industry: if successful, the boom will continue; if it fails, some companies may face elimination.

Corning (GLW.US) receives initial "Buy" rating from Jefferies! AI factories driving a fiber optic rush, with a potential global supply gap of up to 30%

For Corning, the recent profit growth mainly comes from the expansion of AI clusters. As the number of optical links crossing cabinets and campuses increases, customers need to deploy more optical fibers within limited conduit and cabinet space, thus driving demand for high-density optical cables and connection systems.
