Zcash: 99.9% of ZEC holders back 25-second blocks and keeping halvings

  • Turnout: 2.4 million ZEC out of 3.6 million available, exceeding the 1 million ZEC threshold
  • 99.9% in favor of 25-second blocks instead of 75 seconds
  • 98.9% in favor of keeping halvings, 96.6% for moving the NSM fee reissuance to February 2031
  • Voting took place only through the private Ironwood pool, with ballots encrypted and split into 16 parts
Why it matters: The results give developers a clear NU7 roadmap and strengthen the Zcash narrative as a privacy coin amid regulatory pressure on anonymous assets.
