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.

Zcash activates Ironwood mainnet upgrade, halts new inflows to Orchard
Zcash has activated the Ironwood upgrade on its mainnet and halted new inflows into the existing private pool, Orchard. Zcash Open Development Lab said the upgrade went live at block height 3,428,143. Orchard is shifting effectively to a withdrawals-focused state, with remaining funds required to pass through a “turnstile” structure to move to Ironwood. The upgrade also targets an Orchard vulnerability reported in late May, with no confirmed signs of exploitation.
