A withdrawal consists of two steps: initiating a withdrawal and withdrawing. For security reasons, there is a _staking delay_ between initiation and the actual withdrawal. **This delay is currently 10 days** and is subject to change in the future.

I propose that the deposit be reduced to less than 10 days with the withdrawal period. It would be more reasonable and fair if the waiting period for the stake was between 3 and 5 days.

The offer makes sense because the time in between is too long. 3 or 5 days does not harm anyone, but protects the token

Agreed. That should be considered by overseeing the tokenomics

I don’t think that’s a good idea. Most PoS networks have a withdrawal delay of 14 or 21 days. This has to do with the security of PoS networks.

Agreed. Since the network’s focus is on safety, I think keeping it above ten days, if not a time period similar to other pos projects should be prioritized. I personally have no intention of selling anyway.
