NU7 would reduce block times to 25 seconds while setting aside at least 60% of transaction fees to supplement mining rewards beginning in 2031.

  • Zcash developers are targeting Nov. 5 for the NU7 upgrade, which would cut block times to 25 seconds from 75 seconds and make private payments faster.
  • NU7 would temporarily remove about 60% of transaction fees from circulation, with the funds scheduled to return as mining rewards beginning in February 2031.
  • The upgrade preserves Zcash’s issuance and halving schedule by reducing rewards per block and tripling the halving interval, while its final activation decision is due Oct. 20.
