# Unstake ETH with Kiln

## Rewards interface

To monitor and track your staking rewards, simply head to the Portfolio section on Kiln’s app. You will be able to visualize all the active stakes for a given Ledger Enterprise account, as well as their generated rewards. You can **withdraw your available rewards** as well as request a **validator exit**, which will effectively trigger the unstaking process.

#### Unstake an active position: request a validator exit

To unstake an active 32 ETH position and withdraw the validator's balance (staked balance - 32 ETH - and available rewards), you first need to request the exit of the position (i.e. the request to start the exit process for the validator). To do so, simply follow these steps:

* Head to your staking account for which you wish to unstake a position
* Go to the staking section, and click on `Manage` ; you should be redirected to Kiln's app interface
* Go to the `Rewards` section. Here, you can select one (or multiple) active position(s), and click on **Request validator exit** to unstake it.
* Confirm the request, and validate it on your security device.
* Make sure you are interacting with the right contract.
* Withdrawals should not incur any additional Ether apart from gas. Please make sure this is reflected on your security device (amount should be set to 0, and total amount should only include gas fees).

Once all approvals have been gathered, the transaction will be signed and broadcast. If you head back to the `Rewards` section, you should see that the status for the unstaked positions has been updated to `Exit requested`. This means that you successfully started the unstaking process. Your exited validators will be included in the [exit queue](https://launchpad.ethereum.org/en/withdrawals#withdrawal-queue). Once they have been processed by the network, you will be able to finalize the unstaking process by **withdrawing your available balances**. Once finalized, your validators' status will be: `Exited`.

Withdraw rewards & exited validator balance

To withdraw your available rewards and unstaked balance (after having exited a position, see above), please refer to the steps below:

* Head to your staking account for which you wish to unstake a position
* Go to the staking section, and click on `Manage` ; you should be redirected to Kiln's app interface
* Go to the `Rewards` section. Here, you can select one (or multiple) position(s), and click on **Withdraw available rewards** to withdraw the balances (rewards, and staked balance if one of your position has been exited) to your account. Note that all balances will automatically withdrawn to the account that initiated the stake, and cannot be withdrawn to any other address.
* Confirm the request, and validate it on your security device.
* Make sure you are interacting with the right contract.
* Withdrawals should not incur any additional Ether apart from gas. Please make sure this is reflected on your security device (amount should be set to 0, and total amount should only include gas fees).

Once all approvals have been gathered, the transaction will be signed and broadcast. If you head back to the `Rewards` section, you should see that the **Available rewards** balance is now null. This means that you successfully withdrew your rewards (and staked balance if applicable). The **Total rewards** should remain identical, as it reflects the total amount of rewareds generated by a given position since its activation.
