Zcash devs propose 20-second blocks.

NU7 brought Zcash’s target block interval to 25 seconds; now a draft proposes 20. Its authors want the change included in the next community poll and considered for NU7.1, so the network has not changed—this is still a proposal. They frame it as a latency tweak: a shorter interval, they say, could reduce the wait for a transaction’s first confirmation. They cite point-of-sale payments, exchange deposits and cross-chain swaps as places where shorter waits could help. The aim is an earlier first confirmation, not greater transaction capacity.
