Zcash has activated its NU7 network upgrade on the testnet as of October 4, initiating live testing of faster 25-second block intervals and a new Network Sustainability Mechanism that reallocates part of transaction fees to future block rewards. This upgrade also disables version 4 transactions after mainnet activation, affecting funds in the older Sprout shielded pool unless moved beforehand. Developers will review testnet results on October 20 to decide on the mainnet rollout, targeted for November 5. The upgrade aims to improve transaction speed and network sustainability without increasing daily ZEC issuance.
Zcash's recent NU7 testnet upgrade comes as ZEC trades at Rp23.701.195 on Pluang, showing a modest 0.81% gain over the past day. As of Oct 05, 2026 12:41 WIB, the market cap stands at Rp7,04 trillion with a 24-hour trading volume of Rp787,62 million, while all current Pluang orders are sells, and typical holding time is 107 days.
