Zcash developers confirmed the NU7 upgrade will activate around November 5 at block 3,543,405, reducing block times from 75 to 25 seconds and tripling transaction speed. This will cut the wait for three confirmations from nearly four minutes to about 75 seconds, improving payment efficiency on the privacy-focused blockchain. The upgrade also removes 60% of block fees from circulation temporarily and disables the original Sprout privacy system, making any funds there unspendable after activation. Final integration into node software is pending before the upgrade goes live on the mainnet.
