Questions
- How often does Zcash halve?
- Every 1,680,000 blocks since the Blossom upgrade. At the 75-second block target that is about four years.
- When were the past halvings?
- At block 1,046,400 (November 2020) and block 2,726,400 (November 2024). The next is at block 4,406,400.
- Why is the date only an estimate?
- The halving happens at an exact block height. Blocks arrive every 75 seconds on average, not exactly, so the date can drift by days.
