In the next month, several events will happen on the cryptocurrency market at once, which can affect both the value of individual coins and their total capitalization.
Launch TRON 4.0
At the end of May 2020, the imminent launch of TRON 4.0 was announced. This update should be a “turning point” for the project, said its founder Justin Sun. Confidential smart contracts will appear on the TRON network, the block confirmation time will be reduced from 53 to 3 seconds, cross-chain support will appear, and a universal framework for business solutions will also be presented.

Zcash Network Update
On July 16, 2020, the fourth major update, Heatwood, will take place at block 903,000 in the Zcash network. On its blog, the developer Electric Coin Company announced two major changes to the ZIP 221 (FlyClient) and the ZIP 213 (Shielded Coinbase). The first is designed to provide greater compatibility and interaction with different blockchains, and also reduces the requirements for devices with limited resources. The second will affect the transactions for the block mined by the miners. Prior to upgrading, such transactions required significant RAM and CPU resources.
