Instant unstake cannot be selected

Learn why the Instant Unstake option may be unavailable and what you can do instead

Instant Unstake is only available for users who staked SOL directly with validators using Solana’s native staking, outside of Marinade. If you used Marinade Native to stake through our interface, Instant Unstake will not be available.

Additionally, Instant Unstake cannot be used if your stake position is still in the “initialized” status. This means your SOL has not yet been fully delegated to a validator. Instant Unstake only becomes available once the delegation process is complete. Until then, you can only use the Delayed Unstake option.

If you are using Marinade Native, use Delayed Unstake. This method returns your SOL after the standard unstaking period of 2 to 3 days.

Other possible reasons (for native stakers):

  • The Instant Unstake pool is empty: Try again later as the pool is replenished regularly.

  • The amount you're unstaking is too large: Try a smaller amount.

  • Network or RPC issues: Refresh the app or switch RPC providers in your wallet settings.
