Zcash developers have set November 5, 2026, as the target date for the NU7 mainnet upgrade, pending a final review on October 20. The upgrade will first activate on the testnet on October 6 for about two weeks of testing. A key change, ZIP 218, will reduce block time from 75 to 25 seconds, tripling block production and speeding up transaction confirmations. The upgrade also disables older version 4 transactions and maintains the current halving schedule after a community vote. These changes aim to enhance payment speed and network efficiency while carefully managing supply and security risks.
