Zcash Developers Propose Further Block Time Cut After NU7 Upgrade

The timing is telling: a block-time proposal landing days after NU7 suggests the upgrade was treated as a foundation rather than a finish line, with developers already pushing toward faster settlement. The emphasis on point-of-sale payments, exchange deposits and cross-chain swaps frames this less as a technical tune-up than as a bid for Zcash's relevance in payments and interoperability flows where confirmation speed is a practical constraint. The absence of a specific target is the notable gap — without one, the scope of the change and its implications for network stability remain unclear. Whether a concrete figure emerges, and how the proposal is received, is the open question.
