User Unstaking Flow

• Post Time-Lock Expiry: Stakers can choose to unstake their BTC once the initially set time-lock has expired. This ensures that the staked BTC has contributed to the network’s security and operations for the agreed duration.

• Anytime with Cooldown: Alternatively, stakers have the option to unstake at any moment they choose, subject to a cooldown period. This cooldown serves as a security measure to stabilize the network and manage liquidity effectively.

• After initiating unstaking: the BTC is returned directly to the staker’s wallet without ever leaving it. This mechanism underscores the Bloom Protocol’s commitment to user control and fund security, enabling seamless transitions between staking for network benefits and accessing liquid capital when needed.
