Staked SAFE tokens are not immediately withdrawable. After initiating a withdrawal, a mandatory 2-day waiting period applies before you can execute your withdrawal and receive your tokens back. Withdrawal timeline showing staked, initiate withdrawal, 2-day waiting period, and execute withdrawal Tokens stop earning rewards as soon as you initiate a withdrawal. The 2-day waiting period must pass before you can execute it.

​
How to withdraw

Choose one of the available staking interfaces.
  1. Go to the staking interface and connect your wallet
  2. Select the Validator you want to withdraw from and enter the amount
  3. Confirm the withdrawal transaction. Your tokens enter the 2-day waiting period
  4. After 2 days, return to the staking interface to execute your withdrawal
Tokens in the withdrawal queue do not count toward your time-weighted stake average, so they do not earn rewards during the waiting period.

​
Waiting period

The withdrawal delay is currently 2 days. This delay exists so that if a Validator misbehaves, there is time to respond before they can exit their stake. Multiple pending withdrawals: If you initiate more than one withdrawal, they are processed in the order they were submitted. You must execute each one before the next becomes available.

​
Changing the delay

The withdrawal delay is a protocol parameter governed by SafeDAO. Any proposed change must wait 7 days after approval before taking effect. This ensures Stakers always have advance notice before a change applies. The maximum withdrawal delay that can be set is 7 days, ie. there will never be a withdrawal delay longer than 7 days with the current, immutable Staking contract.
The current withdrawal delay is 2 days. If this changes upon SafeDAO approval, the new value will be reflected here.
The Staking contract is deployed on Ethereum Mainnet at 0x115E78f160e1E3eF163B05C84562Fa16fA338509.
