AI summary
Zcash developers confirmed a November target for the NU7 network upgrade, which will cut block times to 25 seconds from 75 seconds, roughly tripling payment speed. The chosen block height still needs to be merged into the spec and shipped in node software before activation. Faster settlement could improve Zcash's usability as a payments chain, a modest positive for ZEC holders, though the technical work remains incomplete.
