The goal is to make Zcash transactions feel more responsive by reducing the average wait for the first confirmation. 3/7 🪙 HALVING SCHEDULE STAYS Zcash holders also supported keeping the existing Bitcoin-style halving schedule. 📊 Support: approximately 98.9% That means ZEC issuance will continue following the existing halving structure rather than switching to a completely different issuance model. 4/7 🏦 NSM DELAYED UNTIL 2031 The Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM) was another major part of the vote. Approximately 96.6% of ZEC voting weight supported delaying NSM reissuance until February 2031. This keeps the accumulated NSM funds reserved for the longer-term sustainability framework. 5/7 📊 THE NUMBERS Here’s the NU7 vote at a glance: ⚡ 99.9% — 25-second blocks 🪙 98.9% — Existing halving schedule 🏦 96.6% — NSM delay to 2031 👥 ~2.4M ZEC — Participated in voting 📈 ~66% — Eligible ZEC participation A significant governance decision for the network. 6/7 🔐 WHY IT MATTERS These decisions affect three important areas of Zcash: ⚡ Network responsiveness 🪙 Long-term issuance 🏦 Future sustainability funding But governance approval ≠ guaranteed price movement.
