Using the pool on Etherscan

The DAO Dashboard stays online until the end of March 2028, with only unstake, withdraw and undelegate available. The steps below do the same on the DAO pool contract on Etherscan, without the dashboard. The pool no longer pays rewards, so the recommendation is to unstake and withdraw.

Amounts are in the smallest unit of API3, which has 18 decimals. 1 API3 is 1000000000000000000.

Reading your position

Open the Read Contract tab of the pool contract and enter your wallet address in:

Function	Returns
userStake	Your staked API3, locked rewards included.
userLocked	Your rewards that are still locked.
getUser	unstaked, your API3 deposited in the pool but not staked, vesting, unstakeAmount, the API3 scheduled to unstake, and unstakeScheduledFor, when it matures.
userDelegate	The address your stake is delegated to, or the zero address if it is not delegated.

unstakeScheduledFor is a Unix timestamp, and zero means no unstake is scheduled.

Unstaking and withdrawing

Open the Write Contract tab and connect the wallet that holds the position with Connect to Web3. Each call is a transaction and costs gas.

1. Call scheduleUnstake with the amount to unstake, at most your userStake. Only one unstake can be scheduled at a time.
2. Wait seven days, until unstakeScheduledFor has passed.
3. Call unstake with your wallet address. The amount moves to your deposited balance in the pool, not to your wallet. Anyone can make this call for you.
4. Call withdrawRegular with the amount to send to your wallet.

You can withdraw your deposited balance minus what your locked rewards and vesting still hold: unstaked + userStake - userLocked - vesting, at most unstaked. A larger amount reverts with Pool: Not enough unlocked funds.

unstakeAndWithdraw does steps 3 and 4 in one call when the whole unstaked amount is withdrawable. It reverts when what stays staked or deposited does not cover your locked rewards and vesting, for example on a full exit with locked rewards, so call unstake and withdrawRegular separately.

If vesting is not zero and its release has started, call updateTimelockStatus with your address to release the vested part.

Each reward unlocks a year after it was minted. Call withdrawRegular again as your rewards unlock. The last reward was minted on 29 October 2026 and unlocks on 28 October 2027, after which nothing is locked.

If withdrawRegular runs out of gas, which can happen after very frequent staking and unstaking, call precalculateUserLocked with your address and a number of epochs per call, such as 10, until it emits CalculatedUserLocked. Then call withdrawPrecalculated with the amount in the same week.

Changing a pool delegation

Stake delegated in the pool still counts for the delegate on Snapshot (see Pool delegation).

• undelegateVotingPower clears the delegation.
• delegateVotingPower with an address delegates your stake to it, or changes the delegate. The pool refuses a delegate who is delegating in the pool themselves.

The pool refuses either change within a week of the last one.

Depositing and staking

depositRegular, stake and depositAndStake still work on the contract, but the pool pays no rewards and staking is not needed to vote. API3 in your wallet votes on Snapshot as well (see Voting power).
