**Step 3**: A popup screen will appear on the right side. Enter the amount and the validator you want to unstake.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Like staking, there will be an inherent loss of value during the unstaking action (also known as **slippage**).

If the slippage calculated by SubWallet for your transaction exceeds 0.5%, you will not be able to proceed with your stake. In this case, you will need to adjust your slippage tolerance to a higher percentage than what we calculated to proceed.

An unstaking fee of 0.00005 TAO will be deducted from your stake once the transaction is complete.&#x20;

*For example, if you unstake 1 TAO, after the transaction is complete, you will redeem 1 - 0.00005, which equals 0.99995 TAO.*
