Unstaking guide

The Stader-Polygon staking dApp provides a user-friendly interface, allowing MaticX holders to easily unstake their POL with Stader. Please note that during unstaking, you will receive tokens only in POL, regardless of whether they initially staked MATIC or POL.

How to Unstake POL?

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

Step 2: Thoroughly read the Terms of Service, then select your wallet from the available options. Please note that by connecting a wallet, you agree to Stader’s Terms of Service

Step 3: 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.

Step 4: Click on the Unstake tab and your MaticX balance will be displayed above the input box as "My MaticX"

Step 5: 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 6: 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 7: 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 8: Sign the transaction in your wallet, and that’s it! Once the transaction is successful, you will see the unstake confirmation screen.

Step 9: 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.
