# Unstake Pool The Unstake Pool allows users to unstake their LST immediately in exchange for a dynamic fee. Whether the market is crashing or you simply need to exit fast, this pool gives you the flexibility to withdraw without waiting for a cooldown period. *** #### ⚑ Instant Unstaking When you use the Unstake Pool, you sell your LST (Liquid Staking Token) directly into a pool of SOL provided by other users. In return, you get SOL instantly, minus a small fee. No delays. No cooldowns. This system is ideal for: * Users who want fast access to liquidity * Traders and protocols executing arbitrage * Anyone who doesn’t want to wait for native unstaking *** #### πŸ“Š Dynamic Fee Structure The fee you pay is based on current pool liquidity: * Kink 500 SOL * LP Fee: 0.027% - 1% * Withdraw Fee of LST: 0.1% (standard for most protocols) * Users always pay the minimum fee until liquidity drops below 500 SOL * Scaling: The fee increases linearly as liquidity drops below 500 SOL πŸ’‘ This model incentivizes liquidity provision and protects against pool drain during volatile market conditions. You can view the current real-time Unstake Pool fee in the dedicated widget located just below the 'Unstake' button. *** #### πŸ’° Who earns the fees? All fees are distributed as follows: * 20% of all fees go to The Vault treasury * 80% are distributed to liquidity providers (LPs) LPs earn passive yield on their idle SOL by allowing others to exit the market instantly. *** #### πŸ§ͺ Become a Liquidity Provider Anyone can join the pool β€” there are no minimum or maximum deposit limits. When you provide SOL, you receive VLP tokens as a receipt, which represent your share of the pool. *** #### πŸ“ Notes * VLP tokens can be redeemed for your SOL plus earned fees * The pool uses real-time dynamic fee calculation to ensure optimal balance * LPs benefit most when the pool is used during high-volatility events *** #### ❓ FAQ **Q: Is this safer than staking SOL directly?**\ A: As with any DeFi protocol there exists smart contract risk, but this product has been audited three times. Audited by [OShield.io](https://github.com/oshieldio/Publications/blob/main/The_Vault/The_Vault.md), [Halborn](https://www.halborn.com/audits/the-vault/the-vault---smart-contract-assessment-50e3ac), and [Codespect](https://github.com/CODESPECT-security/audit-reports/blob/main/040_CODESPECT_THE_VAULT_LIQUID_UNSTAKER_V2.pdf). **Q: Can I withdraw my funds anytime?**\ A: You can unstake at any time, provided there is enough liquid SOL available in the pool. If liquidity is insufficient, please wait until the next Solana epoch begins and try again. **Q: How are fees calculated?**\ A: Fees scale linearly once liquidity drops below 500 SOL, ranging from 0.025% to 1%. You’ll always see the estimated fee before confirming a transaction. *** #### πŸ”— Links dApp: [https://thevault.finance/unstake-pool](< https://thevault.finance/unstake-pool>)\ CLI / GitHub: --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
