The Pooled Staking API allows users to initiate and complete withdrawal of their staked ETH at any time.
Withdrawal is a two-step process due to the Ethereum exit queue and protocol constraints:

Prepare the unstake transaction and submit it to the blockchain
Withdraw unstaked tokens to the delegator’s wallet after the exit period ends.

Request examples are provided using cURL.

1. Prepare Unstake Transaction

Create the unstake request for a specific delegator and vault by sending a POST request to /api/v1/staking/pool/[network]/staking/withdraw.

Example request (for hoodi network):
```
curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.p2p.org/api/v1/staking/pool/[network]/staking/withdraw \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer <token>' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{
       "delegatorAddress": "0x092Af80778ff3c3D27Fd2744C39f6e9326d9AaEe",
       "vaultAddress": "0xba447498dc4c169f2b4f427b2c4d532320457e89",
       "amount": 0.01
     }'
```
- delegatorAddress — account address of the user initiating the withdrawal transaction.
- vaultAddress — Ethereum address of the vault which keeps the tokens.
- amount — amount of tokens in ETH to withdraw. The value must be decimal, e.g., 0.01.
Example response:
```

    "result": {
        "amount": 0.01,

    }
}
```
- amount — amount of tokens in ETH to unstake.
- vaultAddress — Ethereum address of the vault which keeps the tokens.
- delegatorAddress — account address of the user initiating the unstake transaction.
- unsignedTransaction — unsigned transaction in Base64 encrypted format. Sign the transaction and submit it to the blockchain to perform the called action.
  - serializeTx — serialized unsigned transaction.
  - to — recipient address for this transaction.
  - data — transaction data payload in the hexadecimal format.
  - value — amount this transaction is sending in Wei.
  - nonce — nonce of the transaction.
  - chainId — chain ID this transaction is authorized on, as specified by EIP-155.
  - gasLimit — maximum gas limit for this block.
  - type — EIP-2718 type of this transaction envelope.
  - maxFeePerGas — maximum price per unit of gas this transaction will pay for the combined EIP-1559 block's base fee and this transaction's priority fee in Wei.
  - maxPriorityFeePerGas — price per unit of gas in Wei, which is added to the EIP-1559 block's base fee. This added fee is used to incentivize miners to prioritize this transaction.
- createdAt — timestamp of the transaction in the ISO 8601 format.
Use unsignedTransaction from the previous step to sign and send the signed transaction to the Ethereum network.

2) Prepare Withdrawal Transaction

📘
Note that it takes up to 4 days to prepare your tokens for claiming as exiting validators from the Beacon Chain takes time. Withdrawal is only available after the exit period ends.

Once the tokens become claimable, prepare the withdrawal transaction to return ETH to the delegator’s wallet by sending a POST request to /api/v1/staking/pool/[network]/staking/claim.

Example request (for hoodi network):
```
curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.p2p.org/api/v1/staking/pool/hoodi/staking/claim \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer <token>' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
    "delegatorAddress": "0x092Af80778ff3c3D27Fd2744C39f6e9326d9AaEe",
    "vaultAddress": "0xba447498dc4c169f2b4f427b2c4d532320457e89",
    "amount": 10000
}'
```
- delegatorAddress — account address of the user initiating the withdrawal transaction.
- vaultAddress — Ethereum address of the vault which keeps the tokens.
- amount — amount of tokens in ETH to withdraw. The value must be decimal, e.g., 0.01.
Example response is the same as in the Prepare Unstake Transaction step.
Use unsignedTransaction from the previous step to sign and send the signed transaction to the Ethereum network.
