FAQ

Can I withdraw immediately?

No. All withdrawals require a 30-day redemption period.

What if I need liquidity sooner?

svBTC is an ERC-4626 token. You may be able to trade it on secondary markets, though liquidity is not guaranteed.

Do I keep earning yield during the 30 days?

Your svBTC continues to appreciate until the withdrawal is claimed. However, the exchange rate for your withdrawal is locked at the time of request.
