How to unstake Your HYPE

Unstaking kHYPE returns your original HYPE after a delay period — same process as native Hyperliquid unstaking.

A 0.10% fee is applied to kHYPE upon unstaking.

1. Queue unstake

   • Choose amount of kHYPE to convert back to HYPE
   • Submit withdrawal request
   • Receive withdrawal ID

2. Wait for the delay period

   • ~8–9 days total: includes 1-day delegation lockup + 7-day unstaking queue
   • Track status in the dApp
   • kHYPE remains in your wallet during this period

3. Confirm Withdrawal

   • After delay, return to the dApp
   • Use withdrawal ID to confirm
   • kHYPE is burned, HYPE returned to your wallet
