TL;DR: Zcash’s NU7 upgrade is targeted for early November, promising 25-second blocks, while final activation parameters still require implementation work. Zcash developers are moving closer to a substantial change in the network’s basic rhythm. The NU7 schedule points to November 5 for mainnet activation , with the upgrade designed to shorten target block spacing from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. That change could make multiple confirmations arrive much sooner than under the existing parameters. NU7 also includes the Network Sustainability Mechanism and changes affecting older transaction formats, including the retirement of legacy Sprout-related functionality.
