đĄïž Zcashâs NU7 Is on Testnetâbut Its Quantum-Safe Upgrade Is Still Just a Target
Zcashâs next network upgrade, NU7, is live on public testnet, while developers are separately planning quantum-resistant signatures for transparent payments.
LIVE / CONFIRMED: Zcash Foundation released Zebra 7.0.0-rc.0, and NU7 activated on testnet at block 4,465,026. It cuts the target block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds and adds limits designed to protect wallets from shielded-transaction spam.
But hereâs the distinction: testnet activation is not mainnet activation. NU7âs mainnet launch is tentatively scheduled for November 5, with the final activation height expected to be set around October 20 after testnet observation.
Thereâs one detail worth watching: the post-quantum proposal. Developers have set January 2027 as a development target for hash-based signature support, but no network-activation date has been confirmed. It would primarily address transparent ZEC, where roughly 70% of supply is held.
The takeaway: Zcash is shipping a concrete speed upgrade, while its quantum-security work remains an important but unconfirmed roadmap item.
