# Polygon (Discontinued)

### Important update for MaticX users

Stader DAO is sunsetting MaticX, our liquid staking token on Polygon Chain, as part of a broader effort to focus resources on ecosystems where our impact and growth potential are already proven.\
\
Effective immediately, MaticX has stopped accepting new deposits and is moving into a claims-only state, with users able to redeem their MATIC through the existing UI

### **Sunset Timeline** <a href="#sunset-timeline" id="sunset-timeline"></a>

13th June'26: Deposit disabled\
\
3rd August'26: MaticX dApp UI is diabled. Withdrawals will be available through contracts until 3rd August 2029

### Withdrawal guide

**Step 1:** Go to <https://www.staderlabs.com/polygon/stake/> and click on the “**Connect Wallet**” button.

**Step 2:** Approve or confirm the connection request in your wallet to connect with the Stader dApp. Once the wallet is successfully connected, your wallet address will be visible in the top right corner of the dApp.&#x20;

**Step 3:** Click on the Unstake tab and your MaticX balance will be displayed above the input box as "My MaticX"

**Step 4:** To start the unstaking process, first, provide token limit approval for MaticX by clicking the "Approve MaticX" button. If you have already provided token limit approval for MaticX, you can skip Steps 5 and 6.

**Step 5:** A prompt will appear in your wallet to grant Stader access to your MaticX. Enter the token limit and click "Confirm" or "Approve" to provide access. Once the token limit is successfully set, you can proceed with unstaking MaticX.

**Step 6:** Enter the amount of MaticX you wish to unstake. After entering the unstake amount, review the amount of POL you will receive upon unstaking. Once you are certain, click the **“Unstake MaticX”** button.

**Step 7:** Sign the transaction in your wallet, and that’s it! Once the transaction is successful, you will see the unstake confirmation screen.

**Step 8:** The amount of MaticX you unstake will be deducted from your total MaticX balance. However, the unstaked POL will not be immediately added to your wallet, as there is an unbonding period of 3–4 days (80-90 Checkpoints).  You can track the status of your unstaked POL under the "Withdraw" tab.
