Open the Unstake tab to view your options.

Here you will see two unstaking options: Unstake Instantly, and Unstake in X hours, with X being the remaining time until the end of the current Epoch of the Sui network. Staking and unstaking actions on Sui occur each time an Epoch advances, which is once every 24 hours. A standard unstake therefore waits until the epoch advances before the SUI tokens reach your wallet. Aftermath also maintains a reserve of SUI tokens for instant unstakes, which carry a small fee. The fee depends upon the amount of afSUI the user wishes to redeem, and the amount of SUI tokens left in the reserve. Each Epoch, the reserve is replenished. The fee for each type of unstaking is displayed, so you can decide whether to wait until the Epoch advances or receive your SUI tokens instantly. Choose a method, enter the amount of afSUI you would like to redeem and click Unstake. There is a third way to redeem afSUI for SUI, which is to perform a swap using our Smart-Order Router. Aftermath and several other decentralized exchanges maintain afSUI-SUI liquidity pools to enable these trades. Depending on the inventory of the pools and of the Aftermath instant unstake reserves, this method may be better. Open our Trade page and select afSUI as the asset to be swapped and SUI as the asset to receive to see the current exchange rate.
