According to CoinMeta, the developers of Zcash have proposed to reduce the block time of the network from 25 seconds to 20 seconds. This proposal was made on the Zcash community forum on November 8th, with the aim of considering it for the upcoming nu7.1 upgrade. The proposal was put forward after the nu7 upgrade, which tripled the transaction confirmation speed. Developers stated that early network results showed that reducing the block time did not lead to an increase in competing blocks. If the proposal is approved, the first confirmation time for transactions will be reduced by another 5 seconds. Nevertheless, the developers have not yet obtained community approval, and there is no confirmed activation date. On November 6th, Zcash activated the nu7 upgrade, reducing the target time between blocks from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. This update changed the speed at which miners add transactions to the blockchain, but it did not change the maximum supply of the cryptocurrency.
