Bitcoin Magazine: post #29418 — TG.ME

DID YOU KNOW?
ZCASH COULD GET 3× FASTER


A major performance upgrade is being proposed for Zcash.

ZIP 218, currently proposed for Network Upgrade 7 (NU7), would reduce Zcash’s target block time from:

75 seconds → 25 seconds

What could that mean?

~3× faster block production
🚀 Faster first confirmations
📈 Orchard capacity: ~2.9 → ~6.6 TPS
🔒 No change to Zcash’s 21M maximum supply

The proposal is designed to improve transaction latency and network throughput while preserving Zcash’s core privacy architecture.

Important: This is not live yet. ZIP 218 is currently a draft proposal being considered for NU7.

Zcash isn’t only about privacy.

It’s a privacy protocol that continues to evolve — improving speed, scalability and usability without abandoning its core principles.
