NU7 sets block 3,543,405 for November 5

On October 21, 2026, crypto.news reported that developers had agreed on block 3,543,405 as the planned activation point for NU7. The upgrade is designed to reduce target block spacing from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, changing how quickly new transaction batches are added to the chain.

CoinDesk reported that NU7 would temporarily remove 60 percent of block fees from circulation and disable the original Sprout privacy system. Funds remaining in Sprout when the upgrade activates become unspendable, while the removed fees are scheduled for later repayment to miners beginning in February 2031.
