Follow the Steps

InfStones, in collaboration with EigenLayer, offers a streamlined process to unstake your ETH, ensuring your investments remain fluid and responsive to your needs. This guide breaks down the unstaking process into two primary parts: actions taken on the InfStones platform and subsequent steps on the EigenLayer platform.

Step 1: Access Safe Stake on InfStones

Your first step towards unstake begins on the InfStones website, you can easily initiate a withdrawal from InfStones to your EigenPod contract directly through InfStones’ platform. To begin, navigate to the Safe Stake section to access your Dashboard. This is your starting point for reviewing the validators with whom you’ve staked your ETH.

Step 2: Select Validators You Need to Unstake

Here, verify the wallet address for which you wish to unstake and please click on the three dots located on the right side to expand the dropdown menu. Within this menu, select “Unstake” to begin the process of withdrawing your staked assets.

You will then need to connect your wallet to proceed to the next step. Please select your desired wallet to connect and then click “Unstake”.

This action will display all the validators for your address on the subsequent page,  simply tick the small boxes located in front of those validators you need to unstake and then click “Select”.

Step 3: Unstake on InfStones

After identifying the validator you wish to unstake from, you'll find the option to “Unstake”. It's important to note that upon withdrawing from the Ethereum network, your staked ETH balance will be credited to your EigenPod address, accessible via the EigenLayer app for viewing. It can take multiple days as a full exit from the validator queue is required.

Step 4: Check EigenPod Balance on EigenLayer

The final steps of the unstaking process take place on the EigenLayer platform, where you'll manually complete the unstake, referred to as Full Withdrawals in EigenLayer's official documentation. You can open your EigenLayer Dashboard here.

Once the validator withdrawal from Ethereum is completed with InfStones, your staked ETH balance will be shown as EigenPod Balance on the EigenLayer platform.

Step 5: Unstake on EigenLayer

Now you can click “Unstake” to start the 7-day escrow period.

Once the transaction is confirmed, your EigenPod balance will update to reflect a status of “Unstake pending”. Please remember that any funds unstaked from EigenLayer are locked in a 7-day escrow period, during which you cannot access your assets.

Step 6: Wait in the 7-Day Unstake Queue and Withdraw

After patiently waiting through the escrow period, the moment to reclaim your ETH finally arrives. Click “Withdraw” to transfer the ETH back into your wallet. A confirmation will signal the successful completion of your unstaking and withdrawal process.
