Zcash tests NU7 upgrade to speed up blocks and change fee distribution before Nov 5 mainnet launch

Zcash started testing its NU7 upgrade on the public testnet on October 4, aiming to reduce block times from 75 to 25 seconds and introduce a new fee distribution system. The upgrade allocates 40% of transaction fees to miners and 60% to a reserve for future rewards, while maintaining the coin issuance schedule. It also disables legacy Sprout transactions, which may impact some holders. Developers plan to review testnet results by October 20 and target a mainnet activation on November 5, pending approval.

Zcash's NU7 upgrade testnet trial is underway as of October 5, 2026. For readers following the broader cryptocurrency market, 37 of 50 major cryptocurrencies on Pluang rose today. Notable movers include SXP at Rp37 with a 46.27% decline, ADA at Rp4.861 with an 11.72% increase, and BAL at Rp16.297 with an 11.14% rise, as of 10:41 WIB.
