The post Pi Network News: Major Update Introduces RPC Server for Developers<\/a> appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News<\/a><\/p>\n

Pi Network<\/a> has announced a major technical update. The team confirmed that \u201cPi Testnet now has an RPC server,\u201d a change that allows developers to connect directly to the Pi blockchain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This step is important because it brings the network closer to testing and launching smart contracts<\/a>. It also opens the door for building more useful apps on Pi.<\/p>\n

Pi Network Launches RPC Server on Testnet<\/h2>\n

With the new RPC server<\/a>, developers can communicate with the Pi blockchain using standard industry tools rather than relying solely on limited SDKs. This makes testing faster and simplifies building applications. <\/p>\n

With this update, developers can now check account balances, track transactions, view block data, and submit transactions directly on the Testnet without running a full node.<\/p>\n

This change also lays the groundwork for building more advanced decentralized applications<\/a> such as exchanges, marketplaces, and other utility-driven platforms. The Pi Core Team described the update as a major milestone toward simulating and deploying smart contracts.<\/p>\n

Part of the Larger (Protocols 21\u201323) Upgrade Roadmap<\/h3>\n

The RPC server rollout is included in (Protocols 21\u201323) upgrades<\/a> scheduled through May 18, 2026. These updates are mandatory for node operators and aim to prepare the network for smart contract functionality. <\/p>\n

Once completed, the infrastructure is expected to support more complex applications and improve ecosystem readiness for the open mainnet phase.<\/p>\n
