This page covers claiming your earned rewards, unbinding licenses, and unstaking THEO tokens from the Autheo Validator Portal. For staking mechanics and reward calculations, see Staking and rewards.

​
Claiming staking rewards

Two reward types: Staking rewards and NFT/license rewards are separate reward streams. This page covers staking rewards. NFT/license rewards are claimed separately through the license reward mechanism.

​
Unbinding a license

Before you unbind: Unbinding disconnects the license from its current delegation. Review any unclaimed license/NFT rewards before confirming the transaction.
Unbinding releases a Prime or Core license from a delegation. The license enters a cooldown period before it can be rebound to another validator.
1

Find the delegation

On the Delegation page, locate the delegation with the license you want to unbind.
2

Open the unbind modal

Click the Unbind License button (shown in red) in the Actions column.

Unbinding a license moves it from ACTIVE back to BOUND or ISSUED status. The license cannot be rebound until the cooldown period expires.

​
Unstaking tokens

Unstaking (undelegating) removes your THEO from a validator. Tokens enter an unbonding period during which they are locked and do not earn rewards. They become available in your wallet after the unbonding period completes.
Unbonding period: Approximately 21 days. During this period, unstaked THEO is locked, does not earn staking rewards, and cannot be transferred.
Note: Unstaking and unbinding are different actions. Unstaking removes your THEO delegation and starts the token unbonding period. Unbinding releases a Prime or Core license from its delegation so the license can later be rebound.

The unbonding period is an on-chain parameter (~21 days). During this period, your tokens are neither earning rewards nor available for transfer. Plan accordingly before initiating a large unstake.

​
Moving your delegation to another validator

Autheo does not currently support redelegation. To move your THEO from one validator to another:
  1. Unstake your THEO from the current validator.
  2. Wait for the approximately 21-day unbonding period to complete.
  3. After the THEO becomes available in your wallet, delegate it to the new validator.
Because the unbonding period is required before redelegation, consider the validator’s commission rate and other relevant factors before delegating.

​
Selling or trading claimed rewards

Claimed and unstaked THEO lives on Autheo Mainnet. To sell or trade it, bridge it to Base network first, then use a DEX such as Hydrex. See Bridging THEO from Autheo Mainnet to Base and Buying and trading THEO on Hydrex.
