We’re rolling out the first Beta version of Pi Node today. When we first launched Pi on Pi Day 2019, we aimed to release the first version of the Node software by the end of Q1 2020. Achieving this important milestone is the first step towards building the Pi testnet, and ultimately towards decentralization of the network, one of the two primary goals of Pi’s Phase 2 strategy.
This Pi Node release not only enables the core team to test, revise, refine, and scale Pi’s consensus algorithm, but also provides a desktop interface for all Pioneers to access Pi App functionalities. Everyone can download and use the Pi App interface of the Node, while Pioneers who want to run a Node on Pi’s testnet will participate in an application and screening process through the node interface.
Along with the software, we are also releasing a document that describes more details about the node itself, its selection process and criteria and testnet stages on the same website. Keep in mind that this is the first beta version of the node and the purpose of the testnet phase is to test, iterate and improve the software.
We’re excited to present you Pi Node and celebrate this milestone with you, and open to any of your feedback through the topic below.
