Guide to Unstaking Staked GTC Tokens via Etherscan with WalletConnect

This guide walks you through the process of unstaking your GTC tokens using the Etherscan Write Contract interface and WalletConnect.

Prerequisites

A wallet with staked GTC tokens
A WalletConnect-compatible wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Rainbow, Trust Wallet)
The round ID and amount you wish to unstake

Contract Information

Contract address: 0x0E3efD5BE54CC0f4C64e0D186b0af4b7F2A0e95F

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Navigate to the Contract on Etherscan

Go to the staking contract on Etherscan:


https://etherscan.io/address/0x0E3efD5BE54CC0f4C64e0D186b0af4b7F2A0e95F#writeContract

Step 2: Connect Your Wallet

Click “Connect to Web3” on the Etherscan page and select WalletConnect as your connection method. Scan the QR code with your wallet app or use the deep link to connect.

Step 3: Locate the Correct Function

To unstake tokens you staked on your own identity, find the unstake function
To unstake tokens you staked on another user’s identity, find the unstakeUsers function

Step 4: Enter the Round ID

Enter the roundId parameter as a uint256 value. This identifies the staking round from which you want to unstake. You can find the round ID in the staking interface of the Passport App or by reading the contract’s state.

Step 5: Enter the Amount

Enter the amount parameter in Wei format (uint256). To convert GTC to Wei:

1 GTC = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Wei (10^18)
5 GTC = 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 Wei
20 GTC = 20,000,000,000,000,000,000 Wei
125 GTC = 125,000,000,000,000,000,000 Wei

You can use a unit converter tool to calculate the exact Wei value for your desired unstake amount.

Step 6: Enter User Addresses (unstakeUsers Only)

If you are using the unstakeUsers function to unstake tokens you placed on other users, you will also need to provide the array of wallet addresses you staked on.

Step 7: Submit the Transaction

Click “Write” to initiate the transaction. Your wallet will prompt you to review and confirm the transaction details, including the estimated gas fee.

Step 8: Confirm and Wait

Confirm the transaction in your wallet and wait for it to be processed on-chain. You can monitor the transaction status on Etherscan using the transaction hash provided by your wallet.

Troubleshooting

Transaction reverts: Ensure the round ID is correct and that your tokens are eligible for unstaking (they may be locked during an active Grants Round)
Insufficient gas: Make sure you have enough ETH in your wallet to cover the gas fee
Wrong function: Use unstake for self-staked tokens and unstakeUsers for tokens staked on others
Amount exceeds stake: The amount in Wei must not exceed your total staked amount for that round

Important Notes

Unstaking transactions are irreversible once confirmed
Tokens locked during active Grants Rounds cannot be unstaked until the round concludes
Gas fees apply to the unstaking transaction
After unstaking, the tokens will be returned to the wallet that initiated the original stake
