The standard unstake process on the StakeStone Vault now takes significantly longer due to upstream changes by EigenLayer.
Withdrawal Time Extended: EigenLayer increased its normal unstake period from 7 to 14 days. Since StakeStone also needs to convert stETH to ETH via Lido (which adds another 14 days), the total waiting period is now approximately 28+ days.
Instant Unstake Available: We’re working with the StakeStone team to mitigate this problem, and they will periodically refill ETH in the instant unstake pool. Users can use instant unstake with no downside compared to request unstake—there is no need to wait through the extended unstake timeline.
Cancel Unstake Requests: A new feature now allows users to cancel their existing unstake requests. You can cancel and re-submit as an instant unstake if you prefer not to wait.
We understand this extended waiting period may cause inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience while we improve the experience. If you have any issues, feel free to reach out here.
