If the Instant Unstake option is disabled or cannot be selected, this is usually due to one of the following reasons:
1. Minimum stake requirement
Instant Unstake is only available for stake positions of 1 SOL or more.
If your staked balance is below 1 SOL, the Instant Unstake option will not be selectable.
This is a Solana-level constraint and applies regardless of validator or network conditions.
2. Insufficient liquidity
Instant Unstake relies on available liquidity from market makers. If liquidity is temporarily unavailable, the option may be disabled or return an error.
3. Network congestion or RPC issues
During periods of high network load or RPC instability, Instant Unstake may be temporarily unavailable.
4. Wallet-related issues
Please ensure:
Your wallet is properly connected
You have enough SOL to cover transaction fees (we recommend at least 0.03 SOL)
If using a hardware wallet, firmware and wallet extensions are up to date and required settings (such as blind signing for Ledger) are enabled
What you can do
If your stake is below 1 SOL, you’ll need to use delayed unstake instead
Try again later if liquidity is unavailable
Refresh the page or reconnect your wallet
Switch RPC providers if issues persist
