what happened
Bitcoin Cash's Faster Blocks upgrade is scheduled to reach lock-in on November 15, 2026, with a target block time of one minute. According to coinmarketcal.com, the Knuth node team says the project is on track for this milestone.
The proposed change concerns the interval between blocks on the network. Testing is ongoing, so the effect on BCH depends on whether Faster Blocks reaches its scheduled lock-in.
why it matters
For miners, the shorter block interval is the central change, but the source does not say how it would affect hashprice, power costs or sensitivity of revenue to the BCH price. Until lock-in happens, the impact for the industry will hinge on whether the milestone is met on time.
