# Withdrawal

Those who staked must request a withdrawal, and then wait for a 15-day cooldown period to complete. \
\
After the cooldown, the amount you requested to withdraw becomes unlocked but still staked. \
\
The unlocked EPIK may now be transferred to the holder's wallet. After the withdrawal, the amount staked will go down by the amount withdrawn. \
\
This could change the user's membership level if the amount staked drops below the amount required to maintain your current membership level.
