Unstake ANKR token

Before you start

Ensure the following:

1. You have a small amount of ETH for the gas fee.
2. You know about the lockup period.
   ANKR delegated staking has a locking period of 84–91 days. You are only able to unstake ANKR or claim your rewards after this period has ended. The period applies to each of your staking transactions independently.
3. You know about the undelegate period.
   When unstaking, an undelegate period of 1 next epoch (7 days) applies. After this period, you can claim your unstaked ANKR to the connected wallet address. For example, if the epoch starts on Monday, and you unstaked on Monday, you'll wait 14 days (current_epoch + next_epoch), on Tuesday — 13 days, and so on.

Unstake ANKR

We designed ANKR Staking with multiple Node Providers in mind, so there is no Unstake all button. This button would be impossible with you staking with different Node Providers. You can unstake your ANKR by specific staking transaction you made.

Unstake ANKR by specific staking transaction

1. Open Ankr Staking Dashboard (opens in a new tab).
2. Locate the ANKR box and click the Manage.
3. Under Active Staking, locate a stake that is past the locking period and has the Unlocked or Partially unlocked status and click the downward arrow.
4. Locate a fully unlocked stake and click Unstake next to.
5. On the next page, click Unstake.
6. Confirm the unstaking transaction in MetaMask.
7. On the next Unstake in pending, click Go to dashboard.
8. Wait for the undelegate period to end.
9. When ended, repeat #1 and #2 and go to the Unstaking tab.
10. Click Claim next to the unstaked ANKR to send it to the address you connected via MetaMask.
