$ZEC NU7 upgrade locked in. Testnet Oct 6, mainnet Nov 5.

Block time drops to 25s. Network gets faster, more responsive.

But here's the alpha: holders actually VOTED on the tokenomics. Record turnout. They chose to keep Bitcoin-style halvings + a new issuance schedule kicks in later. This wasn't some foundation decree, the community literally decided how $ZEC supply works going forward.

That's rare. Most chains just push updates, $ZEC let holders vote with their bags.

Also cleaning up old transaction types, but if you're just holding, nothing changes for you.

Solid year for Zcash continues.
