Remove delegation to a staking pool or passive delegation

You can remove the delegation on an account to stop delegating.

If you remove the delegation, there is a cool-down period before the amount you had delegated is returned to your disposable balance.

Note

All transfers and transactions cost a fee, including staking and unstaking transactions. The fee is based on the set NRG for that transaction and the current exchange rate. The cost of transaction fees is stable in Euros, and therefore the price in CCD varies depending on the CCD to EUR exchange rate. The fee will always be deducted from the Balance of the account, so it is important to have some available CCDs to cover fees. A locked-for-staking balance cannot be used to pay for these transactions. You can see the fee in the transaction log.

Warning

Make sure you have enough funds in your disposable balance to cover transaction fees.
