Zcash developers have proposed a reduction in the target block interval from 25 seconds to 20 seconds to enhance transaction confirmation speed. This change aims to streamline payments, facilitate the topping up of exchange accounts, and improve cross-network exchanges. Importantly, the daily throughput for private transactions and the issuance schedule for ZEC will remain unchanged. The initiative is set to be presented for community voting and will be included in the upcoming NU7.1 update. This proposal comes just two days after the activation of NU7, which previously reduced the interval from 75 seconds to 25 seconds.
