Zcash activates NU7 upgrade speeding up blocks
The NU7 upgrade was activated on the Zcash mainnet on November 6. The target interval between blocks is now 25 seconds instead of 75.
The upgrade also changed how fees are distributed and disabled transfers from the legacy Sprout pool.
For those who hold or exchange Zcash, this means transactions on the network may confirm faster, while operations through the Sprout pool are no longer available.
