To claim accrued ALEO rewards, please follow these steps within the Prime UI:

  2. On the “Claim Rewards” page, input the amount of accrued rewards you would like to claim:

    • The minimum amount to claim is 5 ALEO

    • The maximum amount to claim is your current accrued rewards balance

  3. Next, click “Continue” in the bottom right hand corner of this screen and confirm your claim on the next page. This action will require you to verify your identity with your Yubikey and reach consensus prior to being processed.

  4. Once the transaction has been completed and the rewards have been claimed, the amount will be displayed as withdrawable in the same staked wallet.

  • Warm up period:  No

  • Unbonding period: Once the transaction is approved and processed, which can take up to 24 hours, unstaking takes approximately 1 hour at the protocol level
