Unstake SSV

Overview​

Unstaking SSV withdraws your staked tokens from the staking contract. The process includes:

  • 7-day cooldown period - Required waiting period after initiating unstaking
  • Oracle weight retention - The voting power tied to the staked weight remains active during the cooldown period
  • Full withdrawal - Receive SSV and any claimable rewards after the cooldown period
Please note

Unstaking is irreversible and cannot be canceled. Rewards stop accruing for the unstaked amount at that point, but rewards already earned remain claimable. A wallet can have up to 2000 initiated withdrawal requests open at the same time.

Unstaking Process​

1. Connect Your Wallet​

Navigate to the SSV Network Web App, connect your wallet holding cSSV tokens, and ensure sufficient ETH for gas fees.
