The Zcash upgrade will reduce target block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, making transaction confirmations significantly faster. The activation is planned for block height 3,543,405, according to the network’s deployment schedule. The technical changes arrive as Zcash faces a separate debate over its community-grants funding system. ZEC has also suffered recent price weakness, leaving traders weighing network improvements against growing uncertainty over its future direction.
