Unstake and Withdraw

info

Unstaking is the first step in the process of exiting restaked assets from EigenLayer. Unstaked tokens enter the withdrawal queue for the Escrow Period. Withdrawing is the final step to move the tokens back to your wallet.

To unstake and withdraw tokens:

  1. In the EigenLayer app, navigate to the token you wish to unstake. Click Unstake to continue.
  2. Choose the amount of the asset you wish to unstake. Click Submit to continue.
  3. When prompted by your wallet, click Confirm to sign the queue withdrawal transaction.
  4. Observe the Unstake confirmation page. Your withdrawal is now in escrow.
  5. Wait for the escrow period to complete. The Withdraw queue displays the approximate amount of time remaining in escrow.
  6. Once the escrow completes, you'll see the withdrawable balance under Available to Withdraw. Click Withdraw to complete the withdrawal.
  7. When prompted by your Web3 wallet, sign the transaction. After the transaction is completed the withdrawn assets are visible in your Web3 wallet.
