Zcash proposes NU8 upgrade, targeting 200 anonymous transactions per second and stronger quantum resistance
Zcash community developer Dev Ojha (데브 오자) has proposed a NU8 network upgrade aimed at increasing anonymous transaction throughput and strengthening quantum resistance. The plan targets deployment by late January 2027 and includes launching a next-generation anonymous transaction pool called Tachyon. The proposal would expand maximum block size to 8MB from 2MB, enabling about 200 anonymous transactions per second. It also calls for adding SPHINCS-based quantum-resistant signatures for use with Tachyon ML-KEM encryption.
