# Withdrawal Cycles * **Unbonding Period:**\ To enhance network security, MTT Network implements a 7**-day unbonding period**. During this time, tokens remain locked after unstaking and cannot be withdrawn. Validators will not get the earning rewards during this period * **Claim Rewards:**\ Validator rewards accumulate at the node and remain there until claimed by the user. Once the user initiates a **claim** through an on-chain interaction, the rewards are instantly transferred to their wallet, ensuring seamless and secure reward settlement. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
