Pi Network Protocol v28 Targets Smart Contract Improvements
The upcoming version of Pi Network’s protocol, v28, has been designed to streamline the application development and maintenance process. The enhancements enable the developers to update sets of smart contracts in one go, instead of making individual updates. The protocol also facilitates safer changes to application data stored in a project as projects develop.
The features may simplify the development process for developers working with the Pi system. The actual effect of their practice will depend on how they are implemented and adopted. The new functionality will be monitored by developers and node operators after the Mainnet switch on October 16.
