Zcash NU7 Upgrade Set to Triple Block Production Speed
Zcash developers are targeting November 5, 2026, for the NU7 network upgrade, which will reduce the blockchain's target block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. This aims to speed up transaction confirmations and introduce a new mechanism for network security. The upgrade is already live on the public testnet, allowing developers and wallet providers to try out the changes before the mainnet launch.
