Casper 101: How to Undelegate & Redelegate CSPR

(Beginner guide)

You can undelegate or redelegate your delegated (staked) tokens via cspr.live or Casper Wallet.

After undelegating, you need to wait 14-16 hours for your stake to be liquid again. This is because there is a 7 full-eras delay to undelegate. The era duration is approximately 120 minutes.

On cspr.live, there are 3 ways to undelegate:
