Staking & Unstaking

Stake

When users deposit POL into the TruStake vault to be staked, they receive a balance of TruPOL at the current TruPOL / POL 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 TruPOL is burnt and their POL is unbonded from the validator. For POL, 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.
