Zcash targets 67% shorter block times – Can ZEC overcome funding uncertainty?

Zcash [ZEC] is preparing a major network upgrade that will reduce block time. The network upgrade (NU7) is designed to shorten the time it takes for blocks to be processed. Set to be implemented on the 6th of November, this new system will enable Zcash to decrease block processing times by approximately 67%, from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. Simply, the direct result of this change will likely be the ability for users to finalize transactions significantly faster than before. In addition, it will enable the network to process more total activity, all without altering the amount of ZEC that is added to circulation each day. Notably, there are two other aspects of the upgrade in need of attention. First, the Sprout pool will no longer exist.
