Zcash holders back 25-second blocks and retain halving schedule in NU7

  • Zcash coinholders backed 25-second blocks and preserved the scheduled halving model for NU7.
  • Nearly 2.4 million ZEC participated, representing roughly 66% of eligible Ironwood balances.
  • Coinholders selected February 2031 to begin Network Sustainability Mechanism ZEC reissuance.

Zcash coinholders overwhelmingly supported shortening block target spacing from 75 seconds to 25 seconds while retaining the network's scheduled halvings in a private governance poll for Network Upgrade 7, or NU7. Nearly 2.4 million ZEC, representing roughly 66% of eligible Ironwood balances, took part. The poll recorded about 99.9% support for faster blocks and 98.9% support for maintaining halvings rather than adopting a gradual issuance curve. Coinholders also favored beginning the reissuance of ZEC removed through the Network Sustainability Mechanism in February 2031 and proceeding with NU7 without components unfinished by September 30. The vote is advisory: consensus changes still require specifications, code, testing and ecosystem agreement before activation.
