Zcash wants faster blocks. From 25 seconds to just 20. Privacy transactions are getting a speed boost.
Zcash developers ValarDragon and Evan Forbes have proposed reducing the target block interval from 25 to 20 seconds, with discussion planned for the next community vote and upcoming NU7.1 upgrade.
Key developments:
Target block time: 25s → 20s.
Faster initial transaction confirmations.
Potentially better payment, exchange deposit, and cross-chain swap experiences.
No increase in daily private transaction capacity.
No change to ZEC's 21 million supply cap or current issuance schedule.
Zcash recently activated NU7, cutting block times from 75 to 25 seconds. The new proposal would push confirmation speed further, while maintaining the network's existing monetary rules.
Zcash is speeding up without printing extra coins. Privacy, but make it fast.
Will faster confirmations make ZEC more attractive for everyday payments?
