Zcash Holders Vote for 25-Second Block Times and Bitcoin-Style Halvings in NU7

Zcash holders have voted to accelerate network block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds and maintain the current Bitcoin-style halving schedule as part of the upcoming NU7 upgrade. Nearly 2.4 million ZEC participated in the vote, with 99.9% supporting the faster block times and 98.9% favoring the retention of halving events. Additionally, voters decided to disable the obsolete Sprout privacy pool and agreed to delay the reissuance of ZEC collected via the Network Sustainability Mechanism until February 2031. The vote saw significantly higher turnout compared to the February sentiment poll.
