Zcash's NU7 Is Live, and Blocks Now Land Every 25 Seconds
Zcash switched on its NU7 upgrade, and block times are now 25 seconds, per CoinDesk. The change also cuts the scanning work wallets perform for private ZEC payments, making shielded activity lighter to track and confirm.
Zcash's NU7 upgrade is live. The network change drops block times to 25 seconds, according to CoinDesk, and trims the scanning work wallets do to keep up with private ZEC payments.
Faster blocks mean the chain confirms new batches of transactions on a tighter rhythm. The scanning reduction targets a quieter headache — the behind-the-scenes computing wallets grind through to spot activity tied to shielded payments.
CoinDesk broke the news on X, putting the block-time cut and the lighter wallet workload front and center as the upgrade's headline wins for ZEC users.
NU7 is now running on the network, so the changes are live rather than planned. For anyone moving or holding private ZEC, the practical effect lands in wallet performance and how quickly blocks arrive.
