Unstake SSV
Overview
Unstaking SSV withdraws your staked tokens from the staking contract. The process includes:
- 7-day cooldown period - Required waiting time after initiating
- Oracle weight retention - Voting weight remains active during cooldown
- Full withdrawal - Receive SSV + any unclaimed rewards after cooldown
This process is irreversible. Once initiated, you cannot cancel and rewards stop immediately. You can only have up to 2000 initiated withdrawal requests 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.
2. Navigate to Unstaking
Go to the "Unstake" section.
3. Initiate Unstaking
Click "Unstake SSV" and specify the amount to unstake.
4. Confirm Transaction
Read and acknowledge the warnings, then click "Approve Unstake". You'll need to approve in your wallet, and wait for blockchain confirmation.
5. Cooldown Period
During the cooldown period (7 Days), a timer displays the remaining time until withdrawal becomes available.
See "Withdrawable in 6d 12m 37s..." next to 2500 cSSV on the screenshot below.
6. Finalize Withdrawal
Once the cooldown period has ended, a "Withdraw" button will appear next to your request. Select "Withdraw" and complete the transaction using your wallet.
Once the transaction is confirmed on-chian:
- Original SSV tokens are returned to your wallet
- All rewards are claimed
- cSSV tokens are burned (removed from circulation)
- Oracle weight is removed
- Staking position is closed
