NU7 keeps 75-second blocks in view

Zcash's next network upgrade, NU7, remains the main protocol milestone for the network. The upgrade is designed to reduce the interval between blocks, the batches of transactions added to the blockchain, from 75 seconds to 25 seconds.

CoinDesk reported on October 20, 2026, that coinholders voted 2,375,932 ZEC to 22,385 ZEC to preserve four-year halvings. The private ballot passed by 106 votes to 1, and NU7 had reached Zcash's public test network on October 4, 2026.

Yahoo Finance reported on October 21, 2026, that developers were targeting November 5, 2026, for the upgrade. The report said NU7 would also remove 60 percent of fees collected in each block from circulation and return those coins to miners starting in February 2031.
