Critical Update Activated in Zcash: 12 Thousand ZEC Locked as Payments Accelerate

Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Zcash activated its NU7 upgrade, cutting the target block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds while rendering approximately 12,224 ZEC remaining in the legacy Sprout pool unspendable. The faster block cadence is intended to speed up payments on the privacy-focused chain, though the locked ZEC removes those tokens from circulation permanently. The upgrade matters because it modernizes Zcash’s throughput and formally retires the deprecated Sprout shielded pool, a long-standing technical debt for the network. Traders and node operators should watch how quickly the network stabilizes at the new 25-second block target and whether any further migration issues emerge from the Sprout shutdown.
