⚠️ Zcash NU7 Upgrade Proposal: Freezing Legacy Sprout Pool Spending
Zcash’s proposed Network Upgrade 7 (NU7) includes ZIP 2003, which would permanently disable spending functionality from Sprout, the network's oldest legacy privacy pool. The proposal aims to streamline the Zcash codebase, eliminate outdated technical debt, and shift network consensus entirely toward modern shielded protocols like Sapling and Orchard. If approved, holders maintaining unmigrated $ZEC in Sprout addresses will retain their private keys, but will lose the ability to move or spend those funds once NU7 activates. For spot $ZEC holders, completing asset migrations to modern address formats prior to mainnet deployment ensures uninterrupted liquidity and direct ownership. How do you view technical protocol cleanup in long-standing layer-1 networks? $ZEC $BTC $ETH$ BNB
