đŸ›Ąïž Zcash Upgrade Could Freeze 22,309 ZEC in Its Oldest Pool

🔒 NU7 would reject all version-4 transactions, the only format that can spend from Sprout
📊 About 22,309 ZEC still sat in Sprout on Oct 17, roughly $26M at today's price
🔑 Holders keep their keys, but couldn't move those coins on the upgraded network
đŸ”„ The coins aren't burned. Access could be restored later, but may never be
⚡ NU7 also cuts block time from 75s to 25s and removes 60% of fees from circulation
📅 Mainnet go/no-go is Oct 20, with Nov 5 the conditional target

What it means for crypto: a rare case of a chain choosing to strand legacy funds to cut attack surface. It's a reminder to check old wallets before upgrades. $ZEC is near $1,163, up ~3% in 24h.

Should chains ever freeze old, unused pools? 👇
