Summary
- Zcash activated its NU7 upgrade on a public test network, cutting the targeted block time to 25 seconds from 75 seconds ahead of a planned Nov. 5 mainnet rollout.
- The upgrade redirects 60% of transaction fees to a reserve for future mining rewards, reduces per-block rewards to preserve ZEC’s issuance schedule and disables transactions using the older Sprout privacy system.
- Developers will review test results and decide on mainnet activation Oct. 20, while holders of funds in Sprout must move them before the upgrade to retain access through the existing system.
