**Step 3:** A popup screen will appear on the right side. Enter the amount you want to unstake, then click "**Unstake**" to proceed.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can choose to unstake part of your funds or unstake all. Keep in mind that if you don't want to unstake all, you need to keep the staked balance above the minimum active stake so that you can claim rewards, unstake, and withdraw them in the future.
