2\. Enter the amount of mALGOs you would like to unstake. You will see the corresponding amount of ALGOs you will receive based on the the current mALGO/ALGO ratio in the pool. _**Just be aware that if you unstake before the Algorand Governance Rewards are released and added to the pool, you will miss out on that yield.**_&#x20;

_**What is 'Holding Amount'?** When an unstaking request is made, the details are stored in the contract. Thus, the minimum balance of the smart contract increases, which is covered by the holding amount you see here. Once the request is completed and claimed, the details are removed from the contract and the holding amount is released back to you, together with the unstaked amount._

3\. Click 'Request To Unstake'.
