[Zcash Community Proposes NU8 Upgrade Plan, Planning to Increase Block Size to 8MB by the End of January Next Year] BlockBeats reports that on November 10th, Zcash community member ValarDragon posted on the official community forum, proposing a series of plans to be included in the NU8 network upgrade, suggesting an upgrade target of the end of January 2027. Key proposals include introducing the Tachyon shielding pool, expanding transaction formats, increasing the maximum block size from 2MB to 8MB, and adding transparent transaction opcodes supporting post-quantum cryptography. Other proposals include: adjusting the NSM redistribution date to close to the time of Zcash's seventh halving; determining the date at the protocol layer when Sapling will stop accepting new deposits, but continuing to support transactions and withdrawals; and eliminating the Consensus Branch ID that needs to be updated with each network upgrade to reduce wallet compatibility issues. ValarDragon stated that with Tachyon combined with a larger block capacity, a shielded transaction processing capacity of approximately 200 TPS is expected. Furthermore, the post-quantum transparent transaction functionality will introduce 128-bit and 192-bit security level schemes based on SPHINCS. The above are currently upgrade ideas proposed by community members, and their implementation still depends on the development progress and subsequent NU8 discussions and voting. [Original Link]
