💰undelegating periods

When you stake your assets, you are locking them up in exchange for rewards. Staked assets cannot be traded freely.

The unstaking period varies depending on the chain the asset is staked to.

You can redelegate a staked asset to another validator without having to wait for the unstaking period.

Auto stake
