TREE NEWS update: Zcash’s community completed a privacy vote on its next network upgrade, NU7, with about 2.4 million ZEC — roughly two-thirds of eligible supply — taking part. 99.9% backed cutting block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds for faster confirmations, and 98.9% supported keeping the existing Bitcoin-style halving. About 96.6% favored delaying Network Sustainability Mechanism fee redistribution to miners until as late as February 2031, while disabling the obsolete Sprout pool and shipping NU7 as soon as features are ready, potentially by September 30.
Zcash Vote Backs Cutting Block Time to 25 Seconds, Keeping Bitcoin-Style Halving

AI take
The lopsided margins matter less than the turnout: a privacy-coin governance vote drawing roughly two-thirds of eligible supply suggests Zcash holders treat protocol direction as a live question rather than a formality, which is unusual for a network of its age. Faster blocks and a retained halving point to continuity over reinvention, while the long delay on fee redistribution leaves miner economics unresolved for years — the open question is whether that deferral holds once NU7 ships, potentially by September 30.
