# Withdrawal

> Withdraw staked assets on Solana with the P2P.org Staking API.

The withdrawal process in the Solana network using the Staking API can be done following these steps:

1. Deactivate the staking request.
2. Create the withdrawal request.

After each operation, [sign and send the transaction](/docs/signing-transaction-solana) to the Solana network.

<Note>
  **Please note**

  It normally takes up to 3 days to unstake your Solana. This is because Solana uses a system of epochs, each of which lasts around 2.5 days.

  In order to ensure fairness and network security when you deactivate your stake, it will remain active for the remainder of the current epoch.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Deactivate staking request">
    1. Send a POST request to [/api/v1/solana/\{network}/staking/deactivate](/reference/solana-staking-deactivate).

       Example request (for `testnet` network):
