Unstake
Release time
If you decide to unstake, it can take up to 4 weeks before you can claim your funds.
Unstaking AVAX tokens is a multi-step process involving sending several transactions to the AVAX smart contracts deployed in Avalanche.
AVAX is transferred to your wallet automatically when the unstaking process completes; there is no additional cost for transferring it.
Unstake AVAX
Have a small AVAX amount to cover the network gas fee for the outgoing transaction.
- Open Ankr Staking Dashboard (opens in a new tab).
- Locate the ankrAVAX (ex-aAVAXc) box and click the '-' icon to unstake.
- Enter the amount to unstake and click Unstake.
- Confirm the unstaking transaction in Metamask by clicking Confirm.
- On the next Unstake in progress page, click Go to dashboard.
Once transaction is confirmed, Ankr Staking Dashboard updates to show Unstaking in progress at the token box.
