Zcash NU7 to Seal Sprout at Block 3,543,405, Stranding 22,263 ZEC

  • —Sprout closes at block 3,543,405 with 22,263 ZEC remaining
  • —Orchard holds 346,000 ZEC and Sapling 420,000 ZEC, no deadline set
  • —ZIP 2003 bans version 4 transactions, including Sapling and transparent ones
  • —The 'inaccessible funds' warning is a quantum contingency, not a schedule
Why it matters: ZEC holders in legacy pools must migrate to Ironwood before NU7 or risk losing access to their funds.
