How to unstake early

This guide explains step-by-step how to unstake a locking position before it has expired.

peringatan

Early unstaking involves a penalty fee.

The penalty fee is calculated based on the remaining duration of the locking position and the amount of LSK being unstaked. The penalty fee is deducted from the LSK being unstaked.

If you simply want to unstake normally, please refer to the guide on How to unstake.
