What Happens to My Accrued Rewards If I Unstake Before Payout Date?

Your accrued rewards are not forfeited. All staking rewards accrued up to and including the day of your unstaking request are preserved and paid out on the next Tuesday distribution. Unstaking before Tuesday does not cause you to lose rewards already earned.

Timeline example:

• You've been staking SOL since Monday.
• You submit an unstaking request on Wednesday.
• Rewards accrued from Monday through Wednesday are preserved.
• Reward accrual stops from Thursday onward.
• On the following Tuesday, rewards from Monday–Wednesday are distributed to your crypto wallet.

Related questions:

Q: If I unstake on Monday (day before Tuesday payout), do I still get that week's rewards?
You get rewards for all days up to and including Monday. Those rewards are distributed on Tuesday.

Q: Do I need to do anything to receive accrued rewards after unstaking?
No. The Tuesday distribution automatically pays out all preserved accrued rewards — no action required.

Q: Can I check how much accrued reward I will receive after unstaking?
Yes. The Accrued Rewards figure in your staking dashboard shows the total that will be paid out on the next Tuesday.

Q: Are rewards after unstaking paid in the same coin?
Yes. Even after unstaking, distributed rewards are paid in the original staked coin.
