Hi [@everyone](https://horizen.discourse.group/groups/everyone), with the upcoming release of ZEN 5.0.0, support for shielded transactions will be discontinued.

Sphere, our multifunctional app, in addition to all of our supported wallets, will also cease support of these types of private transactions.

To ensure the accessibility of their funds, users need to de-shield any ZEN in a shielded address by transferring it out from the shielded pool. Our blog post reviews who needs to de-shield their ZEN, with a step-by-step guide on how to do so: [How to De-Shield ZEN on Sphere Wallet - Horizen Blog](https://blog.horizen.io/how-to-de-shield-zen-on-sphere-wallet/)

To learn more about ZenIP 42207, the Complete Removal of Shielded Pool from the Horizen Mainchain, refer to our Blog: [ZenIP 42207: Complete Removal of Shielded Pool from the Horizen Mainchain - Horizen Blog](https://blog.horizen.io/zenip-42207-complete-removal-of-shielded-pool-from-the-horizen-mainchain/)

As always, we remain available to our community for support, please open a ticket in \<#1108673182799507486\> under de-shielding my ZEN if you have any questions or require support.

Thank you!
