# How To Unstake Tokens

## Goal

Withdraw tokens from the stake to active state for your account.

## Before you begin

* Install the currently supported version of `cleos`.
* Ensure the reference system contracts from `cyberway.contracts` repository is deployed and used to manage system resources.
* Understand the following:
  * What is an [account](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#account);
  * What is a [stake](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#stake);
  * What is a [bandwidth](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#bandwidth) in CyberWay;
  * What are [CPU](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#cpu), [NET](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#net), [RAM](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#ram) and [Storage](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#storage) resources.

## Steps

Unstake 100 CYBER tokens for `alice` account:

```bash
$  cleos push action cyber.stake withdraw alice "100.0000 CYBER"
```

or using "system withdraw" operation:

```bash
$ cleos system withdraw alice "100.0000 CYBER"
```

Tokens are withdrawn immediately without any delay. After this operation is completed, the `alice` stake will decrease by 100 CYBER tokens and her active tokens will be credited to the `alice` account balance.
