Pi Network Unveils Linux Node Support and Major Protocol Upgrades as PI Price Jumps 7%

[TRADE_PLUGIN]PIUSDT,PIUSDT[/TRADE_PLUGIN] PI News - Pi Network has delivered on a long-standing community demand with the release of its Linux Node, enabling users to run blockchain nodes on Linux systems. The development team framed the MOVE as a step toward standardized infrastructure for partners and services. Protocol upgrades are set to roll out in phases, beginning with Testnet1 this week and progressing to Mainnet in subsequent weeks. These changes may cause temporary service disruptions, though the team pledged advance notice of any outages. The upgrades aim to embed KYC authority directly into the protocol, creating what developers call a 'more distributed, community-driven' verification process while maintaining Pi's status as a KYC-verified blockchain. The announcements coincided with a 7% price rebound for PI, which currently trades at $0.36. Community response has been largely positive, with many users viewing these developments as ecosystem-strengthening measures.
