🌟 How to Check, Claim, and Unstake (Undelegate) Your QIE Delegation and Rewards

If you’ve staked (delegated) your QIE coins, you can earn rewards over time. This guide will walk you through how to:

• ✅ Check if you have any staking rewards

• 💰 Claim those rewards to your wallet

• 🔓 How to Unstake (Undelegate) Your QIE Coins

Each section below explains what to do, step by step, in a simple and beginner-friendly way — no technical knowledge required.

✅ Check if you have any staking rewards:

Before claiming, let’s first check if you have any rewards.

1. Open the link below in your browser:

   https://validators.qie.digital/cosmos/distribution/v1beta1/delegators/<your_wallet_address>/rewards
   

• Replace <your_wallet_address> with your actual wallet address that you used for delegation.

• If you see any reward amounts listed — great! That means you can claim them.

💰 Claim those rewards to your wallet

Now, to actually claim your rewards, you’ll need to run a command.

💡 This step requires using the terminal/command line and having your QIE wallet set up.

Replace the placeholders in the command below with your actual details:

qied tx distribution withdraw-rewards <validator_address> \
--from <your_wallet_address> \
--chain-id qie_1990-1 \
--gas auto \
--gas-adjustment 1.5 \
--gas-prices 10000000000aqie \
--node "tcp://127.0.0.1:26657" \
--yes

• <validator_address>: The validator you delegated to.

• <your_wallet_address>: The same wallet you used when you staked your coins.

🔍 Confirm That It Worked

You can check if the rewards were claimed successfully:

Option 1 – Go back to the same link from Step 1 and refresh the page. If your rewards now show as zero, they’ve been claimed.

Option 2 – Open your wallet and check the balance. You should see the claimed rewards added to your wallet.

🔓 How to Unstake (Undelegate) Your QIE Coins

If you want to stop staking your QIE coins, follow these simple steps to undelegate them.

🧭 Step 1: Run the Unstake (Undelegate) Command

Open your terminal and run the following command:

qied tx staking unbond qievaloper1r4deped62qxzja78892qqxcm7rwkav7jn64qx9 100000000000000000000aqie \
--from <your_wallet_name> \
--chain-id qie_1990-1 \
--gas auto \
--gas-adjustment 1.5 \
--gas-prices 10000000000aqie \
--node "tcp://127.0.0.1:26657" \
--yes

🔁 Replace the amount (100000000000000000000aqie) if you want to unstake a different amount.
🔁 Make sure your_wallet_name is your actual wallet name (as configured in your local CLI).

🔄 Step 3: Confirm the Delegated Amount Has Decreased

After confirming the transaction, go back to Step 1 above (where you check your rewards or delegation info).

• Check if your delegated amount has gone down.

• If yes, this means the unstake (undelegation) request was successful.

⏳ Step 4: Wait for the Unbonding Period (12-14 days)

Even though your coins are undelegated, they will not be available immediately.

• There is an unbonding period (a waiting time) before the coins return to your wallet.

• Just wait — once the time is over, the coins will appear back in your wallet automatically.
