# Unstake

## **Unstake Description**

Users can unstake after the staking period ends, converting staking tokens back to original tokens (XZK OR vXZK).

## Important Notes

* **Minimum Unstake Amount**: The minimum unstake amount is 1 tokens
* **Locking Period**: You can only unstake tokens that have passed their locking period
* **Withdrawal Delay**: After unstaking your tokens, they cannot be withdrawn to your wallet immediately. You must wait 1 day before withdrawal
* **Partial Unstaking**: You can partially unstake your tokens. The remaining staked tokens will continue earning rewards
* **Gas Optimization**: If you have staked more than 20 times, you should not unstake all staking amounts at once because it will cost a lot of gas. You can specify smaller amounts for multiple transactions

## **Unstake Steps**

1. **Specify Unstake Amount**: Enter the amount of staking tokens you want to unstake. The amount must be less than your current available staking token amount.

2. **Review Unstake Details**: Before unstaking, you can check the following details:

   * **Unstaking Token Amount**: The amount of staking tokens you will unstake in this transaction
   * **Withdrawal Available Time (UTC)**: The time when you can withdraw your tokens
   * **Receiving Token Amount**: The amount of original tokens (XZK or vXZK) you will receive after the unstaking period ends
