Network Upgrade 7, or NU7, is planned for mainnet activation at block 3,543,405 around November 5, 2026. The Zcash Foundation said on October 22, 2026, that its Zebra 7.0.0 software supports NU7 and that target block intervals would fall to 25 seconds from 75 seconds, according to the Zcash Foundation.

The upgrade also changes transaction rules for Zcash's original Sprout privacy pool. A report by Coinotag said ZEC remaining in Sprout would become unspendable when the network reaches the activation block. The report also described a proposed mechanism under which 60 percent of transaction fees would be withheld from circulation and returned as additional rewards beginning in February 2031.
