TL;DR:

  • Instant Unstack allows for immediate withdrawals of liquid stacking tokens, with a 1% fee.

  • Withdrawing STX via StackingDAO burns your stSTXbtc and issues a temporary NFT representing your withdrawal amount.

  • You can initiate a withdrawal at any time. If done more than 1 day (288 blocks) before the end of the current PoX cycle, your STX will unlock at the end of that cycle.

  • If initiated within the last 24 hours of a cycle, the withdrawal will complete at the end of the following cycle.

The withdrawal process for stSTXbtc is identical to that of stSTX, as outlined on the stSTX withdrawal page.

How to withdraw

To withdraw your STX and burn your stSTXbtc:

  • Go to the Stacking section

  • Find the stSTXbtc card under “Active Positions”

  • Click "Unstack" to initiate a withdrawal request from the protocol

This will take you to the “Unstack stSTXbtc” section, where you’ll see options for withdrawing your STX.

1)Instant Unstack

This option is powered by idle STX—funds that have been deposited but not yet stacked—which allows for immediate withdrawals of stSTXbtc.

If idle liquidity isn’t available, you can either swap on a DEX or wait for the current stacking cycle to end to receive your full STX amount.

Note: A 1% fee applies to Instant Unstack withdrawals.

To proceed, select “Instant ” choose the amount to withdraw, and click the “Unstack” button in the UI.

2)Unstack with Stacking DAO:

To unstack, simply enter the amount you want to withdraw and click the "Unstack" button in the UI.

Withdrawing stSTXbtc through StackingDAO does not return your STX immediately. Instead, your stSTXbtc is burned, and you’ll receive a withdrawal NFT representing the amount of STX shown in the UI.

Important: Do not transfer, burn, or sell this NFT. You will lose access to your STX if you do.

Once the current PoX cycle ends, the NFT will appear under your Active Positions (with your wallet connected). When the correct Bitcoin block height is reached, you'll be able to claim and withdraw your STX.

If you don’t claim immediately, no problem—the NFT does not expire. You can claim your STX at any time once it becomes available.

Note for points earners: The withdrawal NFT does not earn points. As soon as you initiate a withdrawal and your stSTXbtc leaves your wallet, you will no longer earn points on that amount.
