you can look at it like you would have 2 versions ... @QuipTalk

Answer2:Yes, it's similar to switching between mainnet and ghostnet in a wallet. When using the tezos protocol, you can toggle between the "normal" tezos and sapling tezos. Shielding will switch to sapling tezos, and unshielding will switch back to normal tezos. This allows users to take advantage of the enhanced privacy and scalability features of sapling tezos while still being able to access and use regular tezos.

Does that mean it will work with a toggle a bit like when you want to switch mainnet to ghostnet in a wallet?
