# Withdrawal System

### Basic Withdrawal Concepts <a href="#docs-internal-guid-f2627edd-7fff-511a-0b97-84711f2d8af7" id="docs-internal-guid-f2627edd-7fff-511a-0b97-84711f2d8af7"></a>

Withdrawals from the ELPP are designed to protect liquidity integrity while offering users predictable access to their capital. When you request a withdrawal, your tokens are locked for a **fixed 7-day period**, after which your underlying assets become available for claim.

#### &#x20;How It Works

**1. Submit Withdrawal Request**

* Use the dashboard to initiate a withdrawal.
* Enter the number of ELPP tokens you wish to redeem.
* The requested amount is immediately locked and cannot be transferred or used elsewhere.

**2. 7-Day Unlock Period**

* All withdrawals are processed after a **uniform 7-day delay**.
* This ensures pool stability and allows the protocol to optimize capital usage, including restaking mechanisms.

**3. Claim Your Assets**

* After 7 days, your withdrawal becomes executable.
* You can claim your assets at the share price effective at the time of execution.
* There is no expiration — you can claim anytime after the 7-day period.

#### Key Details

* Withdrawals are executed **proportionally** based on the current share price.
* The protocol ensures that all users are treated equally, regardless of when they submit their request.
* Pending and claimable withdrawals are always visible in your personal dashboard.

&#x20;Why It Matters

* **Simple:** Just one clear rule — a 7-day unlock time.
* **Predictable:** No need to time your exit; you'll know exactly when funds become available.
* **Secure:** Maintains liquidity stability even during volatile periods.
* **Transparent:** All withdrawal activity is handled on-chain and verifiable.
