# Partial Withdrawals

{% hint style="info" %}
Due to how withdrawals from Ethereum are designed, users can only initiate one partial withdrawal per[ sequential sweep](https://ethereum.org/en/staking/withdrawals/#validator-sweeping) of all validators (which takes approximately 7-8 days).

All funds unstaked from EigenLayer go through a 7-day escrow period before being able to be withdrawn. Thus after you initiate your unstake, you must wait 7-days before being able to withdraw your assets.
{% endhint %}

**Step 1:** Unstake - click **Unstake** to queue the withdrawal and initiate the escrow period.

If successful, you should receive a confirmation. Once the transaction confirms, you should see your EigenPod balance move to *Unstake pending:*
