Privacy coins are about to get 3x faster — and most people are sleeping on it. 👀
Zcash's NU7 upgrade activates on Nov 6 at block 3,543,405. Block time drops from 75 seconds to 25 — confirmations roughly 3x faster.
The smart part: block rewards are cut to a third, so daily ZEC issuance stays exactly the same. 60% of transaction fees now go into a sustainability reserve for the network's future security budget, miners keep 40%. The 21M cap and the 2028 halving don't change.
ZEC is still up 128% in 2026 despite shedding 7% in the past week (FXEmpire) — this upgrade is the next test.
Takeaway: upgrades that change speed WITHOUT changing supply are the ones worth watching.
Do you think faster blocks make ZEC a real payments coin, or is privacy still too niche?
