Step 1: Navigate to the "Portfolio" Tab
After connecting your wallet, click on the Portfolio tab in the navigation menu. You will see a list of your current staking positions.
Each position row has a button for its main action and a ⋯ menu for the rest. To unstake, click Unstake on the row if it is shown there, or open ⋯ and choose Unstake. Either way the app opens the right product page with your position already selected, which avoids landing on a page that does not handle what you hold.
On Mobile
Portfolio is the first tab in the bar at the bottom of the screen, next to Earn, Borrow, Explore and More. There is no menu to open.
Tap Portfolio
Find the position you want in the list and tap the position row to reveal its actions
Tap Unstake, either on the row itself or in the ⋯ menu
On the product page that opens, the Stake and Unstake panel is at the top of the screen, with your position details below it. Enter the amount and confirm in your wallet
If a delayed unstake is already running, that position shows Claim and a countdown instead of an unstake option.
Step 2: Enter the Amount You Wish to Unstake
If you want to unstake from more than one position, click 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. The amount you receive is set by a real-time quote from liquidity providers or a DEX. See Instant Unstake on Marinade for details.
Delayed: Your SOL becomes available after one epoch (approximately 2 days). If you unstake within the last ~4 hours of an epoch, it may take until the end of the following epoch (~4 days). See Delayed Unstake on Marinade for details.
Delayed unstake costs a flat 0.003 SOL for Marinade Native and Marinade Select, including Native positions paid in a Recipe reward token, charged from your wallet's SOL balance rather than deducted from the amount you unstake.
Marinade Liquid (mSOL) carries a 0.2% protocol fee.
The app will display the fee and estimated timeline based on your selection. Choose your preferred mode and approve the transaction in your wallet.
For Instant unstake, your wallet's approval screen can look alarming: larger amounts, an unfamiliar address, sometimes even a "likely malicious" warning. That is expected.
See Why Does My Wallet Show a Different Amount Than I Am Unstaking? before you approve.
Marinade never transfers more than the amount you requested. If you would rather not approve a screen with that warning, choose Delayed unstake instead. There is no liquidity provider involved, so your wallet shows an ordinary confirmation. Your stake deactivates over about one epoch, then you return to the app and click Claim. It costs a flat 0.003 SOL on Marinade Native and Select, taken from your wallet SOL balance.
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
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 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.
Claiming is a separate Solana transaction. Keep at least 0.03 SOL in your wallet to cover the network fee, otherwise the claim will fail. If it does fail, see Why Can't I Unstake?
FAQ
Q: I don't see my position under "positions to unstake."
A: A position that is already unstaking will not appear there. It sits on the Portfolio tab with a Claim button and a countdown. Nothing is missing.
Q: There is no Manage button on my position row any more.
A: That is expected. Manage was replaced by a direct action button on each row plus a ⋯ menu holding the other actions, including Open detail for the position's own page.
