Staking & Unstaking

Stake

When users deposit MATIC into the TruStake vault to be staked, they receive a balance of TruMATIC at the current TruMATIC / MATIC 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 TruMATIC is burnt and their MATIC is unbonded from the validator. For MATIC, the unstaking period can take approximately 2-3 days. During this period as the Polygon network is a two step process. During this period, 80 checkpoints, in which the Polygon network syncs with Ethereum, must have passed. After the 80 checkpoints have passed, you can claim the unstaked amount.
