[Valar Group and Project Tachyon to Launch Zcash NU7 Voting on August 25] Valar Group and Project Tachyon plan to initiate an approximately 18-day Zcash NU7 holder vote on August 25, 2026, to determine the scope of the NU7 upgrade. The voting will take place on a dedicated voting chain, and eligible voters must hold disposable Ironwood shielded funds at the snapshot time of 03:00 (UTC+8) on August 25. The vote will cover topics such as the issuance smoothing mechanism for network sustainability, the activation time for transaction fee redistribution, the deprecation timeline for Sprout/v4 transactions, adjustments to the target block time, and the rollout pace of NU7 features. If the number of ZEC participating in the vote reaches 1 million, the results will be considered representative.
