Zcash just cut its block time by two-thirds — and developers already want it faster. The NU7 upgrade went live on Friday, cutting Zcash's target block interval from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. Now developers have proposed going further: 25 seconds down to 20, in the next NU7.1 upgrade. The goal is speed where it matters — faster first confirmations for point-of-sale payments, exchange deposits and cross-chain swaps. The catch: faster blocks do not mean more capacity. The proposal keeps the 21 million ZEC supply cap and does not increase daily private-transaction throughput. ZEC trades near $1,192, down about 5.6% today, after touching $1,375 on upgrade day. BTC sits near $74,025, down about 2.5% on the day.
