According to Cointelegraph, the Zcash NU7 upgrade has been activated on the network. Following the activation, approximately 12,224 ZEC remain locked in the Sprout pool and are currently unspendable. The funds were previously held in the Sprout pool prior to the NU7 upgrade. Zcash developers indicated that a future network upgrade may enable restoration of access to these funds. No immediate solution has been implemented at this time. The NU7 upgrade refers to a scheduled protocol change for Zcash. The situation concerns funds held in the Sprout pool specifically. The number 12,224 ZEC refers to the amount reported as stranded in that pool after the upgrade went live.
