Zcash developers will review the NU7 testnet results on October 20 to decide on activating the upgrade on the mainnet, which aims to reduce block confirmation times from 75 to 25 seconds and change how transaction fees are distributed. The upgrade would allocate 60% of fees to a reserve for future rewards and 40% to miners, while maintaining the coin supply cap and halving schedule. It also limits shielded activity per block and invalidates older version 4 transactions, affecting funds in the Sprout pool. The mainnet activation decision and block height selection will follow, with a tentative activation date set for November 5.
