Zcash developer ValarDragon has proposed protocol changes for the NU8 upgrade planned for late January 2027, including increasing the block size limit from 2 MB to 8 MB and adding new privacy features like a Tachyon shielded pool. The upgrade aims to support about 200 shielded transactions per second and improve post-quantum privacy with advanced cryptographic methods. Other changes include delaying NSM redistribution, ending Sapling deposits while keeping transactions active, and removing consensus branch ID updates to prevent wallet issues during upgrades. These proposals are not yet approved but outline significant enhancements for Zcash's scalability and privacy.
