Unstaking savAssets

Unstaking is the process of converting a savAsset (e.g., savUSD) back into its corresponding avAsset (e.g., avUSD). This process involves a cooldown period, after which you can withdraw the avAsset to your wallet.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Open Portfolio or Products: Go to the Portfolio or Products section of the app.

2. Click Get and Select Action: Click Get next to your savAsset (for example, savUSD), then select Unstake.

3. Choose Path and Amount: Enter the amount and follow the path shown for your connected chain.

You can switch with chain-aware action hints such as Unstake on Avalanche or Sell on Ethereum to either unstake directly on the native chain or sell through in-app swap liquidity.

1. Review Output and Route: Check expected output and fees. Click route details to view included stages.

2. Approve and Confirm: Approve the selected token amount, then confirm Unstake or Sell depending on the selected path.

Unstaking savUSD

1. Wait for the Cooldown (Unstake Path): After confirming Unstake, the dashboard shows your unstaking amount and readiness time. During this period, funds are locked and earn no yield.

2. Withdraw Your Funds (Unstake Path): Once the cooldown period is over, return to the dashboard or Unstake panel and click Withdraw. This sends the underlying avAsset (e.g., avUSD) to your wallet.

Waiting Periods

The cooldown period varies for each savAsset. The current waiting periods are:

• savUSD → avUSD: 24 hours

• savBTC → avBTC: 24 hours

• savETH → avETH: 24 hours

Tip: Instant Unstaking via DEXes

If you need to access your funds immediately without waiting for the cooldown period, you may be able to swap your staked tokens (e.g., savUSD) directly on decentralized exchanges (DEXes) such as Uniswap, LFJ, and Pharaoh. This option depends on the liquidity available on the DEX.

Important: Unstaking More

If you initiate another unstaking request while you already have funds in a cooldown period, the cooldown timer for all your unstaked funds (both currently cooling down and the newly unstaked amount) will reset. This means the entire combined amount will be subject to the full cooldown period again, starting from the time of your latest unstaking transaction.
