# Redeeming avAssetX

This process is for converting a **boosted `avAssetX` token** (e.g., `avUSDx`) back into its corresponding **base `avAsset`** (e.g., `avUSD`).

### Step-by-Step Guide

1. **Open Portfolio or Products:** Go to the [Portfolio](https://app.avantprotocol.com/) or [Products](https://app.avantprotocol.com/products) section of the app.
2. **Click Get and Select Action:** Click **Get** next to your `avAssetX` balance, then select **Redeem**.
3. **Enter Amount:** Input the amount of `avAssetX` you want to redeem.
4. **Approve the Token:** Grant permission for the selected `avAssetX` amount and confirm in your wallet.
5. **Submit Redemption Request:** Click **Redeem** and confirm the transaction in your wallet. 
6. **Complete at Maturity:** After the cooldown finishes, complete the redemption from **Active Redemptions**.

### Viewing Redemptions

After you have initiated a redemption request for a token that has a redemption period, you can monitor its progress in the **Active Redemptions** section on your Portfolio page.&#x20;

## Additional Information

* **Fixed Waiting Period:** Redemptions for boosted tokens (e.g., `avUSDx`) are fixed and complete after a 1-week cooldown.
* **No Yield Accrual:** During the waiting period, the tokens being withdrawn do not accrue any yield.
* **Final Redemption Price:** The final redemption price for `avAssetX` tokens will be calculated using the lower of (i) *the price at the request time* and (ii) *the price at the end of the cooldown period*. This means yield will no longer accrue, and users will be exposed to any price downside while the request is pending.
* **No Adjustments:** `avAssetX` redemption requests cannot be adjusted. If you need to make changes, you must first cancel the pending request and then submit a new one.
* **Multiple Redemption Requests:** You can submit multiple redemption requests simultaneously. Each request will have its own separate waiting period.
* **Transparency:** A redemption fee may apply, and this will be clearly displayed in the interface before you proceed.
