Wcash Mainnet is producing blocks. Genesis is anchored to ZEC block #3,488,810. Wcash block #1 arrived at 13:24:10 UTC, and the chain reached block #57 by 13:31 UTC. Rewards ramp over the first 40,000 blocks and are paid to Ironwood shielded outputs.

Another milestone for Wcash mainnet. 🛡️ NU7 compatibility is live. Wcash continues to be merge-mined with Zcash, preserving its own consensus, emission and shielded rewards. Thank you to everyone helping build this network. Wcash moves forward.
Zcash NU7 is live. Wcash’s compatibility upgrade at block 51,350 is active. ZEC: 25-second target. WEC: 75-second target. Thanks to the miners and operators who coordinated the rollout.

WEC block 51,350. Our next milestone. 🛡️ To the miners, node operators and pool teams supporting ZEC + WEC merged mining: thank you for building this with us. Get your updates in. See you on the next block.
Wcash’s NU7 merged-mining compatibility activates at WEC block 51,350. All Wcash full nodes must upgrade before this height. Pools must also update their Zcash nodes and merged-mining software. WEC keeps its 75-second target. ZEC moves to 25 seconds with NU7.

NU7, we’re here for it. 🛡️ Wcash’s compatibility work is prepared. To the miners, node operators and builders pushing Zcash forward: we’re building with you. ZEC + WEC merged mining, through this upgrade and beyond. See you on the next block.

For pool operators, preparation covers WEC validators, NU7-ready Zcash nodes and merged-mining backend compatibility. We’re coordinating upgrades ahead of WEC block 51,350. Release qualification is ongoing; installation details will follow.

Zcash evolves. Wcash mines alongside it. We've prepared NU7 support across Wcash's proof validation and merged-mining backend, preserving Wcash's independent consensus. One stream of Equihash work. Two chains. Code: github.com/w-cash/wolf/pull/…
Zcash NU7 brings 25-second blocks. Wcash keeps its 75-second target. We're preparing node and pool updates for zcash:native + $WEC merged-mining compatibility. Operators: coordinate upgrades before activation. Release instructions will follow here.

Wcash’s next chapter is being built by its miners. Since block 40,000, the network has averaged 18.50 MSol/s, as of 2 November. Every new miner adds security, strengthens participation and helps shape what comes next. For those who believe in $WEC and its long-term potential, contributing hashpower is a direct way to help build it.

Zcash staking is still a proposal. Earning $WEC while mining zcash:native is already possible. You can keep mining Zcash and earn WEC from the same work. Same ASIC, no hashrate split. @MOLEPOOL1 and ZecWec.com already support it. @ViaBTC @f2pool @FoundryServices @Luxor @pool2miners @AntPoolofficial @sluiceypool @kupooltech @KryptexMining @grandminingpool — let’s get WEC payouts working for your miners. We’ll help with integration. If that’s your pool, tell them you want $WEC too. equihash.com/merged-mining
Crosslink is a proposed hybrid PoW/PoS upgrade for Zcash. By standardizing staking bonds into incremental powers of 10, observers are prevented from easily inferring individual staking patterns, preserving privacy and maintaining accountability among finalizers.

Zcash got this right in 2016: give miners time to join. Start rewards small. Let the network find its feet before the largest rewards arrive. Wcash’s slow start ends at block 40,000. Just 555 blocks left, roughly 12 hours at the target pace. Zcash’s original ramp took 20,000 blocks at 150 seconds each. Wcash uses 40,000 at 75 seconds. Ten years apart, both gave the slow launch about five weeks. Now Wcash is nearing the end of that ramp, mined alongside Zcash with the same Equihash work. Afterward, rewards decline smoothly, without scheduled halvings. To the miners and pool operators who joined while rewards were still small: thank you. There’s room for more. equihash.com/merged-mining w.cash
