Zcash is also preparing for a major upgrade
The network itself is preparing for another important change.
The upcoming NU7 upgrade is designed to reduce Zcash's target block spacing from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. The change is intended to improve transaction confirmation times while also introducing limits for shielded actions to manage network and wallet resource demands.
NU7 does not increase Zcash's 21 million supply cap. Its issuance mechanics are being adjusted to account for the faster block production so the emission rate remains aligned with the existing schedule.
One important migration issue is also tied to the upgrade: once NU7 activates, version 4 transactions become invalid, which means funds remaining in the legacy Sprout pool will become unspendable.
