| Block reward | 1.5625 ZEC per 75-second block until NU7: 1.25 ZEC (80%) to the miner, the rest to development funding. NU7 makes blocks three times faster while keeping the issuance schedule. |

What these numbers mean
Hashrate is the total mining power, measured in solutions per second (Sol/s) because Zcash uses the Equihash proof-of-work algorithm. Mining is done almost entirely with specialised ASIC machines. Difficulty adjusts so that blocks arrive at the target spacing: 75 seconds today, 25 seconds once the NU7 upgrade activates.
Until NU7, each block creates 1.5625 ZEC, about 1,800 ZEC a day. Miners receive 80%; the remaining 20% goes to development funding streams set by network upgrades. NU7 is designed to keep the halving schedule, so daily issuance should stay about the same with smaller, more frequent blocks. Try the mining calculator or the halving countdown.
Frequently asked questions
What is Zcash's block time?
About 75 seconds today. The NU7 upgrade, planned around 5 November 2026, cuts the target to 25 seconds.
What is the Zcash block reward?
1.5625 ZEC per 75-second block until NU7, of which 1.25 ZEC goes to the miner. NU7 is designed to keep daily issuance and the halving schedule.
Can I mine Zcash with a CPU or GPU?
Not profitably. Zcash's Equihash algorithm is dominated by ASIC miners.
