Zcash activated the NU7 upgrade on November 6, 2026, at block 3,543,405, reducing block times from 75 to 25 seconds. Since then, the network’s hashrate has risen 5.8% in 30 days, reaching a new high of 32.62 GSol/s, according to Zecstats. NU7 more than doubles Orchard protocol throughput, cuts the worst-case synchronization load on light wallets by about 37% and retires the Sprout pool. Zcash’s 21 million token issuance cap remains unchanged, while halvings will now occur every 5,040,000 blocks, or roughly every four years. Developers have also proposed an NU7.1 upgrade that would reduce block times from 25 to 20 seconds and accelerate transaction confirmations.
