Staking info

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Follow these steps to unstake your ETH with the widget, which starts the process of returning it to your wallet.

  1. Open Unstake

    Click Unstake from the main Ethereum staking card.

  2. Enter amount

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

    You can:

    • Manually enter the unstake amount, or

    • Click Max to use the full available balance.

  3. Submit unstake transaction

    Click Unstake.

    • The widget triggers an unstake transaction in the connected wallet.

    • You then approve 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".

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

  6. Post-stake state

    On success, your Ethereum overview will update to show:

    • Total staked amount (aggregated across stake accounts).

    • Staking rewards section (estimated or accrued).

    • A list of stake activity, each with:

      • Status tag, for example, Stake.

      • The balance of the activity.
