# Withdrawals

### Understanding Unstaking

When users unstake their SUI, they return their pool tokens and receive both their original principal and accumulated rewards. The unstaking process in Sui has a waiting period before funds are released.

### Unstaking Process

1\. User initiates an unstaking request

* The request is processed at the end of the current epoch

* The user receives their principal amount plus rewards

* The rewards are calculated based on the pool token exchange rate at the time of unstaking

### Principal vs. Rewards

The withdrawal data separates the original staked amount (principal) from the earned rewards, allowing for clear tracking of staking returns.
