Will PiDEX be launched in the first quarter? The technical countdown has already begun. ∑ After seven years of eager anticipation, real-world action speaks louder than words. The current highly structured protocol upgrade from v19 to v23 is the most detailed and forceful technical deployment we have seen so far.

Key milestones: ·February 27, 2026: Complete upgrade to v19.9
March 12, 2026: Full upgrade to v20.2 (this date is crucial) This is not random noise but carefully planned network preparation work. If PiDEX needs a stable and upgraded protocol foundation, then after March 12 will be its first practical technical window for activation. However, cautious realism: network upgrade ≠ immediate launch of the decentralized exchange; technical coordination ≠ economic activation; infrastructure readiness ≠ official announcement.
Things to watch after March 12:
• On-chain activation signals for smart contracts are issued.
• Adjust network fee structure.
• Transition in on-chain transaction modes.
• Official announcement regarding the “economic layer.”
If these signs appear, a first-quarter release becomes a feasible option. Otherwise, the release date may be delayed to the second quarter.
One thing is clear: this phase is fundamentally different from previous ones. The waiting phase is transitioning into an observable, technically ready stage. The next chapter will begin after protocol v20.$PI
