Withdrawal Flow

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Request Your Withdrawal

Choose one of these methods based on what you want to specify:

Method	Use When	Function
By Assets	You know exactly how many tokens you want to withdraw	withdraw(assets, receiver, owner)
By Shares	You know exactly how many shares you want to redeem	redeem(shares, receiver, owner)

Where:

• assets: Number of tokens to withdraw

• shares: Number of vault shares to redeem

• receiver: Address that will receive the withdrawn assets

• owner: Address that owns the shares (usually your address)

Step 2: Complete Your Withdrawal

After the waiting period has passed:

1. Call completeWithdrawal(requestId)

2. Your assets will be transferred to the receiver address you specified

What You Should Know

⏱️ Waiting Period

• Every withdrawal has a mandatory waiting period

• The duration varies by protocol

⚠️ Slashing Risk

• During the waiting period, your withdrawal amount may be reduced if the protocol experiences slashing

• This mechanism protects the protocol and other users

🔍 Tracking Your Withdrawals

• Monitor the status of your pending withdrawals:

  • getWithdrawalRequest(requestId): Get details of a specific request

  • getQueuedWithdrawalRequests(staker): View all your pending withdrawals
