Zcash devs propose another block time cut days after NU7 upgrade
The proposed reduction aims to shorten transaction confirmation times and improve the user experience for point-of-sale payments, exchange deposits and cross-chain swaps.
Zcash developers have proposed reducing the blockchain’s target block interval from 25 seconds to 20 seconds, seeking faster transaction confirmations days after activating the NU7 upgrade.
On Sunday, developers ValarDragon and Evan Forbes submitted a draft Zcash Improvement Proposal (ZIP) on the Zcash community forum, saying that they want the change to be included in the next community poll and considered for the upcoming NU7.1 network upgrade.
The reduction would shorten the expected wait for initial transaction confirmations. According to the proposal, this would improve the user experience for point-of-sale payments, exchange deposits and cross-chain swaps.
