According to CoinMeta, Valar Group and Project Tachyon plan to initiate a approximately 18-day Zcash NU7 holder vote on August 25, 2026, in order to determine the scope of the NU7 upgrade. The vote will take place on a dedicated voting chain, and eligible voters are required to hold disposable Ironwood locked-up funds at the snapshot time of 03:00 on August 25 (UTC +8). The vote covers topics such as the smooth issuance of network sustainability mechanisms, the start time for the reissuance of transaction fees, the deactivation time for Sprout / V4 transactions, adjustments to the target block time, and the rollout schedule for NU7 features. If the number of ZEC participating in the vote reaches 1 million, the results will be considered representative.
