Zcash Nears NU7 Upgrade and Sprout Spending Cutoff
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Zcash is approaching its NU7 upgrade alongside a cutoff for spending from the legacy Sprout shielded pool, with roughly 12,224 ZEC still held there ahead of the deadline. The upgrade will also cut target block spacing from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, tripling the network's expected block production rate. The changes matter because any ZEC left in Sprout past the cutoff risks becoming unspendable under the old pool rules, while faster blocks reshape Zcash's throughput and mining economics. Traders and holders should watch how much of the remaining Sprout balance moves before the deadline and how smoothly the network adjusts to the shorter block interval once NU7 activates.
