What Is an Unbonding Period?

An unbonding period is the mandatory waiting phase between submitting an unstaking request and receiving your coins back in your Pluang wallet. Like the bonding period, this is set by the blockchain network and cannot be shortened by Pluang. During unbonding, your coins are locked and no rewards accrue.

Staking status flow after you request unstaking:

1. Un-bonding Requested — your request is received, awaiting batch processing (daily 9AM WIB).
2. Un-bonding In-Progress — coins are being withdrawn from the validator node on-chain.
3. Un-bonding Done — coins are returned to your Pluang crypto wallet and available for trading or withdrawal.

Key facts:

• No staking rewards accrue once an unstaking request is submitted.
• Rewards already accrued up to the point of your unstaking request are still paid out on the next Tuesday distribution.
• Unbonding period length varies by coin. Check the Pluang app for each coin's specific duration.
• You cannot cancel an unstaking request once it has been submitted.

Related questions:

Q: Can I trade or withdraw my coins during the unbonding period?
No. Coins are locked during the entire unbonding period. They become available again only after Un-bonding Done status is reached.

Q: Do I still receive accrued rewards after I submit an unstaking request?
Yes. Rewards accrued up to the point of your unstaking request are still distributed on the next Tuesday payout.

Q: Is the unbonding period the same as the bonding period?
Not necessarily. Each blockchain sets its own bonding and unbonding durations independently. Check the app for per-coin details.

Q: Can I re-stake the same coins immediately after unbonding is complete?
Yes. Once status reaches Un-bonding Done and coins are returned to your wallet, you can initiate a new staking request.
