Hi [@everyone](https://horizen.discourse.group/groups/everyone), Announcement! 📢

TokenMint, a sidechain designed as a proof of concept by the Horizen Ecosystem team, is being deprecated on \*\*Wednesday, March 6th, 2024. \*\*

As part of the deprecation, all TokenMint users will need to remove their $ZEN from the sidechain before the deprecation date, to avoid loss of funds.

Learn more: [Deprecation of the TokenMint Sidechain - Horizen Blog](https://blog.horizen.io/deprecation-of-the-tokenmint-sidechain/)

To move $ZEN off of TokenMint, users can simply send their ZEN from their Cobalt Wallet to a Horizen mainchain address.

\*\*Warning: \*\*ZEN can only be sent to Horizen Mainchain Sphere addresses from Cobalt. Sending ZEN to another Horizen Mainnet address outside of Sphere could lead to a loss of funds.

As always, we remain available for community questions and concerns, please reach out to us on here, or open up a ticket with any questions.
