🚨 Zcash NU7: 3x Faster Payments and a 60% Fee Burn
⏰ Zcash Network Upgrade 7 (a software update every node must follow at the same moment) goes live at block 3,543,405, 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.
🔥 60% of every transaction fee is removed from circulation, like a partial burn.
🧮 Halvings stay. Developers proposed smooth issuance, but coinholders rejected it with 98.9% of the vote. The 21M cap and 4-year halvings stay. From around 2031, the removed fees slowly go back to miners.
🧱 Sprout, the first private pool from 2016, closes. A researcher using AI found a bug in it in March 2026, and it was patched and never exploited. $ZEC left in old "zc" addresses gets stuck unless moved before the upgrade block.
What $ZEC price do you predict for the end of 2026? 👇
