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.
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.
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.
Are you ready for Zcash NU7?

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.

Your pool handling zcash:native + $WEC without dropping a share.

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.

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.
