> "Protocol 26 is now here — what do you think should come next for Pi Network?

Protocol 26 has now reached its upgrade deadline, with Mainnet node operators required to update in order to remain connected to the network. The upgrade is reported to focus on areas such as smart-contract security, state management and cryptographic capabilities. What interests me more than the upgrade itself is what comes next. Pi has already been moving toward a more utility-focused ecosystem, including smart-contract infrastructure, RPC development, Launchpad testing, Pi Sign-In and other developer-focused initiatives. So I’m curious what the community thinks:"
