10 Days Left: Zcash Set to Cut Block Times to 25 Seconds

Zcash is nearing a major network upgrade that will reduce block times from 75 seconds to just 25 seconds. This is another major change to Zcash's underlying infrastructure. Network Upgrade 7, scheduled for November 5, will reduce block times from 75 seconds to just 25 seconds, while disabling Sprout transactions. With the activation approaching, users holding ZEC in the legacy Sprout pool are being advised to migrate their funds to the Sapling pool beforehand. The upcoming change builds on Zcash's earlier Blossom upgrade, which activated in 2019 and cut block times in half, from 150 seconds to 75 seconds. The upgrade also reduced the 500-block Sprout to Sapling pool migration interval from 20.8 to 10.4 hours.
