Zcash’s 25-second blocks go live on public testnet ahead of schedule

60-second summary

Zcash launches 25‑second blocks on its public testnet early, after the NU7 upgrade reduces the target block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. This gives exchanges, wallets and developers a live rehearsal before the planned November mainnet activation, allowing performance testing and risk mitigation, which should smooth the transition and boost network adoption.
