Zcash is preparing to roll out its NU7 mainnet upgrade in November, aiming to reduce block times to 25 seconds while keeping its halving schedule intact. This adjustment is designed to enhance transaction efficiency without altering the fundamental monetary policy of the network.
According to CoinTelegraph, the NU7 upgrade will first activate on the testnet on October 6, allowing developers and users to assess the changes before the full mainnet launch. The preservation of the halving schedule ensures that Zcash’s issuance rate remains predictable, a key feature for long-term investors.
For Japanese market participants, this upgrade highlights ongoing innovation within privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, which continue to attract attention amid evolving regulatory and technological landscapes in Japan’s crypto sector.
