Understanding Staking Risks
Lock-up Periods
Some cryptocurrencies have lock-up periods when staking through OKX Wallet. During this time, you cannot withdraw your staked assets.
Slashing Risks
Certain networks can "slash" (penalize) validators for misbehavior. When staking via OKX Wallet, choose reputable validators to minimize this risk.
Market Volatility
While your OKX Wallet staking rewards are predictable, the underlying cryptocurrency value fluctuates. Your total value can decrease despite earning rewards.
Unstaking from OKX Wallet
To unstake your cryptocurrencies from OKX Wallet, navigate to your staked assets and select "Unstake". Be aware of network-specific unstaking periods—some chains like Ethereum have multi-day waiting periods before funds become available in OKX Wallet.
