Unstaking with Solflare

This guide covers delayed unstaking using Solflare wallet. For most users, we recommend instant trading via Jupiter instead.

Time Required: Setup (5-10 minutes) + waiting period (up to 2 days)
Fee: 0.1% unstaking fee

Step 1: Connect Solflare Wallet

1. Go to jito.network/staking

2. Click "Connect Wallet" in the top right corner

3. Select "Solflare" from the wallet options

4. Select to connect

5. Click "Connect" to authorize the connection (you may choose "Trust this app" to prevent future prompts)

6. Verify your wallet address appears in the top right corner

Step 2: Initiate Delayed Unstaking

1. Select the "Unstake" tab
2. Enter JitoSOL amount to unstake
3. Choose "Delayed in X days" (shows 0.1% fee)
4. Click "Unstake SOL"

Step 3: Access Staking in Solflare

Click the "Staking" tab in the bottom navigation of your Solflare wallet to access your stake accounts.

Step 4: View Your Stake Accounts

Check your stake accounts and their status:

Stake Status:

• Active: Earning rewards, needs unstaking
• Unstaked: Ready to withdraw
• Various validators with different APY rates

Step 5: Unstake Active Stakes

For stakes showing as "Active":

1. Click on the active stake account to see validator details and APY

2. Review the unstaking details. Then click the "Unstake" button to initiate
3. Click the yellow "Review" button

4. Confirm the unstaking transaction by clicking "Confirm"

After confirmation, your stake will show as "Unstaking" with a countdown timer.

Note: Unstake each active stake account individually.

Step 6: Wait for Epoch Completion

Waiting Period: Up to 2 days (1 Solana epoch)

Stakes need to cool down due to Solana protocol requirements. Check status in Solflare. Once showing "Unstaked", they're ready to withdraw.

Step 7: Withdraw Your SOL

Once your stakes show as "Unstaked":

Your stake will show as "Unstaked" when available for withdrawal.

1. Click "Withdraw" to start the withdrawal process
2. Review the withdrawal details (token amount, destination, network fees)

3. Click "Confirm" to complete the process

Your SOL will now be available as regular SOL in your wallet for immediate use.
