## <mark style="color:red;">**WARNING**</mark>

## **ONCE YOU APPROVE $MK TO WITHDRAW YOU CAN NOT BACK OUT OF WITHDRAWING THEM. YOU MUST COMPLETE THE WITHDRAW REQUEST OR THEY WILL REMAIN STUCK IN THIS PROCESS**

## <mark style="color:blue;">Starting the Withdraw Process</mark>

If you wish to remove your $MK to your DeFi wallet you will need to follow the following steps. <mark style="color:red;">**You may only withdraw unstaked tokens and tokens that are not currently being wagered in an ongoing battle**</mark>.&#x20;

* <mark style="color:blue;">Step 1</mark> - Go to <https://arena.memekombat.io/account> and navigate to the box lables "Transfer" and click on the "Withdraw" tab.
* <mark style="color:blue;">Step 2</mark> - In the "Available $MK" field it will display the amount of $MK in your Meme Kombat wallet that is eligible for withdraw at that moment in time. Please note that tokens that are currently staked are not elibible for withdraw until they are unstaked. Please see [staking-overview](https://memekombattoken.gitbook.io/meme-kombat-whitepaper/introduction-to-staking/staking-overview "mention")for more information.&#x20;
* <mark style="color:blue;">Step 3</mark> - Input the amount of $MK you wish to withdraw, or select "Max" to withdraw all eligbile $MK. Once you determine the amount of $MK you wish to withdraw, proceed to the next step.
* <mark style="color:blue;">Step 4</mark> - Click "Request Withdraw" button to start the withdraw process. This request will not require an on chain transaction, but will validate with our database the amount of tokens you inputted are eligible for withdraw. When the withdraw is approved your requested $MK tokens will disappear from your available $MK in Meme Kombat.&#x20;
* <mark style="color:blue;">Step 5</mark> - You will be asked to approve the withdraw transaction on Eth chain. <mark style="color:red;">**This will require a network fee as you are sending $MK on chain to your DeFi wallet**</mark> (This is due to the blockchain, not Meme Kombat).&#x20;

If you complete the above steps your $MK tokens will appear in your DeFi wallet once the transaction is settled on chain. <br>
