Zcash has activated its NU7 network upgrade on the public testnet, reducing block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. This change aims to speed up transaction confirmations, benefiting point-of-sale payments, exchange deposits, and cross-chain bridges. Despite faster blocks, the daily supply of new ZEC remains unchanged by adjusting block rewards and halving intervals. Developers will monitor testnet performance before deciding on mainnet activation, planned for November 5, 2026. The upgrade also disables the original Sprout shielded pool and introduces a Network Sustainability Mechanism funded by transaction fees.
