# Withdraw/Unstake a delegation

If you decide to stop delegating or take a break from staking, you can initiate the unstaking process at any time. Unstaking begins a 21-day unbonding period, after which your staked DAG — along with any accrued rewards — is automatically returned to your wallet with no fees.

**1. Unstake DAG**

* Go to **"My Delegations"** in your wallet or staking dashboard.

* Once confirmed, your position enters a 21-day unbonding period.
* During this time, the tokens remain locked and cannot be used or restaked.
