Pi Network Expands Decentralized Infrastructure with Linux Node and Protocol v23 Upgrade

[TRADE_PLUGIN]PIUSDT,PIUSDT[/TRADE_PLUGIN] PI News - Pi Network has taken a significant step toward broader decentralization with the launch of its Linux Node, a long-anticipated feature previously limited to Mac and Windows. The expansion opens the network to open-source developers and strengthens infrastructure for third-party operators. Protocol v23 enters testing this week, introducing blockchain-level KYC authority management. The update aims to streamline compliance while maintaining decentralization. Exchange partners and service providers can now transition from custom solutions to standardized Linux Node software, reducing maintenance complexity and security risks. The Linux release particularly benefits infrastructure operators who previously relied on bespoke compilations to keep miners synchronized. Automated update options further enhance network stability, though everyday users may not immediately notice these backend improvements.
