Pi Network advances PiRC standards as Testnet 1 and 2 move to V23 while Mainnet upgrade from V22 continues.
Pi Network is moving further toward its V23 upgrade as PiRC ecosystem standards and open-source tools receive new public updates.
The latest information says Testnet 1 and Testnet 2 have already moved to V23, while Mainnet remains on V22 and continues its upgrade process.
PiRC Repository Advances Ahead Of V23 Release
Pi Network’s PiRC ecosystem standards repository has received a major update as V23 preparation continues.
The update covers underlying protocols, Oracle simulators, RWA tokenization tools, and support systems.
The shared update says public code work is moving ahead of the official main branch.
It also says visible PiRC changes are being used as final preparation before a wider open-source release.

The Pi Core Team is not expected to release all core code at once. Instead, the PiRC framework, tool layer, and standards layer are being opened in stages.
This staged method is meant to support developer review and security checks. It also allows global nodes and developers to take part in testing and auditing.
Standards Layer And Security Framework Move Forward
The update says Pi Network has implemented its standardization proposal framework.
It also points to completed security systems, a developer portal, and wider ecosystem technical rules.
These tools are meant to support future applications across the Pi ecosystem. They also give developers clearer rules for building under the PiRC framework.
The PiRC structure includes Oracle simulators and Real World Asset tokenization mechanisms.
These systems are part of the technical preparation linked to the V23 upgrade.
The open-source process is being handled step by step. The update says this approach may reduce risks around sudden exposure of core systems.
The Core Team’s approach also aims to create a controlled review setting. It allows technical components to be tested before deeper infrastructure is made public.

Testnets Reach V23 As Mainnet Upgrade Continues
The latest on-chain status shows progress across three network upgrade tracks. Testnet 1 and Testnet 2 have both been upgraded to V23.
Mainnet is still running on V22, according to the update. It remains in the upgrade process as node operators prepare for V23.
The update says the final deadline for Mainnet nodes to upgrade to V23 is tomorrow. It describes the next protocol iteration as near.
The upgrade process is said to be following the official roadmap. No final Mainnet completion time was provided in the supplied update.

Node upgrades are central to the transition from V22 to V23. They help align network infrastructure before the wider protocol release.
Pi Network’s V23 work is also tied to open-source transparency. The project is using PiRC updates to build a framework before the larger release.
The latest update places focus on technical structure rather than market claims. It covers repositories, standards, security tools, testnets, and Mainnet upgrade status.
For now, Pi Network users are watching the V23 rollout and node upgrade deadline. Developers are also tracking PiRC changes as the ecosystem prepares for broader access.
