Step 1: Navigate to the "Portfolio" Tab
After connecting your wallet, click on the “Portfolio” tab in the navigation menu.
Here you will see a list of your current staking positions. Each position will include an Unstake button.
Step 2: Select the Position and Enter Amount
If you have more than one position, you can click on the dropdown to select the position you want to unstake.
Once selected, enter the amount of SOL you would like to unstake.
Step 3: Choose Unstake Mode (Instant or Delayed)
Next, choose your preferred unstaking mode:
Instant: Your SOL becomes available immediately after the transaction is confirmed.
For native staking (including Marinade Native positions and other native stake accounts in your wallet), the app requests a quote from a market maker who takes over your stake account and sends SOL back to your wallet.
For liquid staking (mSOL), the instant option is a swap via Jupiter that trades your mSOL to SOL at the current market rate.
In both cases, the app shows an estimated amount of SOL you will receive, including any fees and potential price impact, before you confirm.
If you don’t like the quote or the estimated amount, you can switch to the Delayed option instead.
Delayed: Your SOL becomes available after one epoch (approximately 2 days).
Your position is scheduled to deactivate and your SOL (plus any rewards up to that point) becomes claimable after the epoch finishes.
This follows the standard Solana unstake flow and avoids swap price impact.
For mSOL positions, a small delayed-unstake fee may apply. This fee helps discourage harmful timing behavior and is redistributed to long-term stakers.
The app will display the fee and estimated timeline based on your selection. Choose your preferred mode and approve the transaction in your wallet.
Note: If your position is still in “initialized” status, you will only be able to use the Delayed unstake option. Instant unstaking is not available for positions that haven't yet been fully delegated.
Step 4: Review and Complete Unstake
After clicking the Unstake button, a quick survey will appear asking why you decided to unstake from Marinade. This helps us better understand your needs and improve the platform.
Once you complete the survey, you will be able to approve the transaction in your wallet. A success message will appear once the transaction goes through, confirming that your unstake request has been processed.
For Instant unstaking, your SOL will be available immediately after the transaction is confirmed.
Steps 5 and 6 apply only if you selected the Delayed unstake option.
Step 5: Confirm Unstake Position
Navigate back to the Portfolio tab. You should now see your position listed under the “Delayed Unstake” section, with a faded-out Claim button and a status indicator showing the remaining time until your stake is ready to be claimed.
Step 6: Claim Your SOL
After the countdown reaches zero, return to the Portfolio tab and click Claim to receive your unstaked SOL.
