Ethereum: Unstake

The Ethereum Unstake Flow lets users release staked ETH, rendering the assets eligible for final withdrawal and transfer back to the wallet. Unstaking is always the first step in a two-step sequence: Unstake → Claim.

High-Level Steps

Follow these steps to unstake your ETH with the Earn Widget.

1. Open the Unstake screen
2. Enter unstake amount
3. Submit unstake transaction
4. Transaction processing
5. Review post-unstake state

Detailed step-by-step information is available below.

Step-by-Step Flow

1. Open Unstake

   The user clicks Unstake from the main Ethereum staking card.

   
   

2. Enter amount

   The widget displays the available staking balance and an amount input.

   The user can:

   • Manually enter the unstake amount, or
   • Click Max to use the full available balance.
   
   

3. Submit unstake transaction

   The user clicks Unstake.

   • The widget triggers an unstake transaction in the connected wallet.
   • The user approves the transaction, incurring network fees.
   
   

4. Transaction processing

   On success, the selected stake account transitions to a Queued state in the widget.

   
   

5. Post-unstake view

   The main staking view now shows:

   • Updated totals (staked vs. queued/ready-to-claim).
   • A dedicated card lists the amount of ETH currently "Queued".

     📘

     Note

     This figure will programmatically transition to the "Ready to claim" column within the same card once the process completes.

   
   

   When queueing completes, the account status changes from Queued to Ready to claim, and the widget enables the Claim CTA.
