Zcash Developer Proposes 8 MB Blocks in NU8
Zcash developers are proposing two capacity changes: a faster block interval and a block size four times larger. Shielded activity is growing, but it remains a small portion of the chain's capacity. The proposed changes aim to expand Zcash's capacity as shielded activity increases, but current transaction volumes are still below the network's existing limits. Wallet compatibility and storage requirements will be key factors in determining whether the upgrades can be safely implemented.
