Zcash’s NU7 upgrade has been activated on the public testnet at block 4,465,026, reducing the target block interval from 75 to 25 seconds. This change would cut confirmation time with a three-confirmation policy from 225 to 75 seconds. The upgrade also redirects 60% of transaction fees to a future-reward reserve, reduces per-block rewards, and disables Sprout transactions. ZEC trades at approximately $1,300, down 2.5% over 24 hours but up over 30% over one month. Mainnet deployment is targeted for November 5, pending test results expected on October 20.
