Zcash's NU7 upgrade set to boost speed and security
Zcash will activate the NU7 network upgrade at block 3,543,405, cutting block time from 75 to 25 seconds, increasing throughput, limiting shielded activity per block, and allocating 60% of transaction fees to future mining rewards. The upgrade also retires the legacy v4 transaction format and Sprout pool, with about 12,200 ZEC in Sprout becoming unspendable. The change follows a post‑election rally that saw ZEC outpace other cryptocurrencies, while Bitcoin slipped below $76K and other market moves were noted.
