Undelegating Tokens

If you want to undelegate tokens from a validator, you can do so at any time. Note that undelegation costs approximately 0.5 CSPR.

Accessing the Undelegation Feature

You can access the undelegation functionality in three ways.

Option 1: Click Wallet from the top navigation menu and then click Undelegate Stake.

Stepping through the Undelegation Process

The following instructions will take you through the undelegation process, starting with the "Undelegation details" screen.

Step 1 - Undelegation details

  2. Enter the amount of Casper tokens you want to undelegate.
  3. Click Next.

  1. Click Sign in the Signature Request window to finalize the undelegation. The stake undelegation initiates as soon as the corresponding deploy is signed. Here is the expected output:

It may take 1-2 minutes for the undelegation details to become available. Click "Deploy Details" for more information.
