Zcash holders back 25-second blocks and halving schedule

In a network-wide governance vote, nearly 2.4 million ZEC participated, with 99.9% backing 25-second blocks and 98.9% voting to preserve the existing halving schedule. The result clears the way for the network's Project Tachyon redesign, which aims to scale shielded money by speeding up block times.

• The strong consensus gives Zcash's development team a mandate to proceed with faster block production.
• Keeping the current halving schedule preserves the network's existing issuance timeline.
