Zcash Developers Propose 20-Sec Block Upgrade
Zcash developers are proposing to reduce the time between blocks from 25 seconds to 20 seconds to improve transaction speeds and make the network more practical for everyday payments, exchanges, and transfers. The proposal builds on an earlier upgrade called NU7, which reduced block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. The current network takes up to 25 seconds for a transaction to enter a block and receive its first confirmation. The proposal requires approval through Zcash's community governance process.
