Removing Stake Locks

What are stake locks?

When a stake is used to Create a Proposal or Vote on a Proposal, a 'create' or 'vote' lock is respectively placed on that stake. A stake lock serves to prevent users from adding to or withdrawing from a stake while it is active. This ensures that while a stake is being used to vote on a proposal, the power that stake represents is fixed.

What if I want to add or remove funds to my stake?

No problem! You'll just need to remove your stake locks first. This is very simple to do.

Removing Stake Locks

Step 0: Navigate to the staking page of your DAO.

Step 1: Check if you have any locks on your stake. Your stake will either be Locked or Free.

Step 2: If your stake is locked, click 'View' on your stake

Step 3: Click Remove Locks.

You'll need to remove locks for every Proposal this stake has a lock for.

Removing a Vote Lock

Removing a vote lock can be done at any time, it will just retract any votes on Proposals that are actively voting.

Removing a create lock can be done once the Proposal has reached its Finished state.
