SoloHost gives Pioneers more ways to use their computers for local AI and easier access to other self-hosted applications, further extending the utility of Pi Desktop and Nodes beyond blockchain infrastructure. OpenClaw and the Atlassian MCP Server show how SoloHost can support different types of self-hosted software for different user needs, from local AI agents to more specialized developer utilities. Through SoloHost, people can benefit from AI while keeping more of their data and computation on their own devices and reducing reliance on third-party remote infrastructure.

Pi has released several technical updates to KYC and Mainnet migration processes that address specific KYC application corner cases, improve verification processes, and help eligible Pioneers who were previously unable to progress. KYC and Mainnet migration involve many different checks designed to allow genuine Pioneers to progress while preventing bad actors, bots and those with policy violations. While most Pioneers move through these processes continuously, certain groups can become stuck because of specific corner cases that require additional evaluation or custom technical solutions.

Following the successful completion of the Protocol 27 upgrade on Pi Mainnet, Pi Testnet has upgraded to Protocol 28. Protocol 28 improves how the network handles delays in transaction data and enables developers to upgrade groups of smart contracts at once and change stored data more safely as their applications develop. All Node operators must upgrade their Nodes to Protocol 28 by October 13, 2026, in preparation for the Mainnet Protocol 28 network upgrade on October 16, 2026.
