Staking & Unstaking

Stake

When users deposit APT into the TruStake vault to be staked, they receive a balance of TruAPT at the current TruAPT / APT exchange rate. This serves as a receipt to keep track of their stake.

Unstake

When users Unstake from the TruStake vault, the equivalent amount of TruAPT is burnt and their APT is unbonded from the validator. For the Aptos network, unstaking can take up to 30 days because Aptos has a 30-day lockup period. This lockup period is by validator, meaning all unstaked APT on that validator gets unlocked at the same time. Users who unstake need to wait until the end of the cycle for their APT to be unlocked from the validator.
