Zcash network fails to confirm transactions after block production stalls at 5:27 a.m. UTC on June 3, 2026.
The Zcash blockchain ceased producing new blocks for more than four hours on June 3, 2026, freezing transaction confirmations. The outage began after block 3,364,601 at 5:27 a.m. UTC, disrupting a network that typically generates a block every 75 seconds.
Zcash, known for its privacy features, has not issued a public statement regarding the incident. The network’s native token, ZEC, has seen a 46% gain over the past month, defying broader market trends.
The halt underscores technical risks in cryptocurrency networks, even for established projects. No immediate market reaction was reported following the outage.
