đš Zcash payments are about to get 3 times faster. And 60% of every fee will be removed from supply.
â° Network Upgrade 7 (NU7, a software update every node must follow at the same moment) goes live at block 3,543,405. At the current pace, that is around 6 Nov 2026, 7:00 AM PKT. Some sites say 5 Nov, and blocks can arrive 1 to 2 hours early or late.
⥠Blocks drop from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, so payments confirm much sooner.
đ„ 60% of every transaction fee is removed from circulation, like a partial burn.
𧟠Halvings stay. Zcash developers proposed replacing halvings with smooth issuance, but coinholders rejected it, voting 2,375,932 ZEC to 22,385 ZEC (98.9%). The 21M cap and the 4-year halving cycle stay the same. The removed fees are not lost forever. From around 2031, they slowly go back to miners on top of normal halving rewards.
𧱠Sprout (the first private pool, from 2016) closes. A researcher using AI found a bug in it in March 2026. It was patched and never exploited. ZEC left in old "zc" addresses becomes stuck unless moved before block 3,543,405. Normal wallet users have nothing to do.What $ZEC price you're predicting at the end of 2026? đ
