TREE NEWS update: Zcash’s proposed NU7 network upgrade would disable version 4 transactions, potentially leaving ZEC held in the legacy Sprout shielded pool unspendable. The change, slated for November, would cut off the transaction format still used to move funds out of Sprout. ZEC held in that pool could be frozen once the upgrade activates.
Zcash’s NU7 Upgrade Could Freeze Funds in Legacy Sprout Pool
AI take
This is a governance-by-upgrade problem rather than a market one: a protocol change can strand holders who never migrated, and the affected group is narrow but real. It also tests whether the network's stated migration path holds up when the deadline is enforced by code rather than by encouragement. Whether a coordinated exit from Sprout happens before activation, or whether the upgrade is adjusted to preserve an escape route, is the open question worth watching.
