Zcash Eyes 20-Second Block Times After Major NU7 Network Upgrade

Zcash developers have proposed cutting the network’s target block time from 25 seconds to 20 seconds, days after a major upgrade accelerated confirmations. The change could shorten payment waits, but community approval and an activation date remain outstanding. Ojha and Forbes released the proposal on November 8. They seek that the change be included in the upcoming community vote and be incorporated into the potential NU7.1 update. This is still a draft. The activation of NU7 took place at block 3,543,405 on November 6. Target blocks were reduced to 25 seconds from 75. Shielded transaction limits and 60% fee allocation for future mining reward pools were some other components of the NU7 update.
