Gemini has replaced the software running its Zcash system, switching from Zebra to Zakura ahead of the network’s planned NU7 upgrade. The exchange said the change reduced the time its node needs to catch up with network state from nearly one day to a little over six hours. The move comes before a proposed Zcash upgrade that would shorten block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, which would require network computers to process transactions three times as often as they do now. Developers are targeting Nov. 5 for the mainnet upgrade. Gemini, however, has not released performance test results showing how Zakura handles the faster block cadence. CoinDesk was cited as the source of the report.
