Once you initiate withdrawal, the *Delay Period* starts.  Please note that you can only have one pending withdrawal. If you initiate a new withdrawal during the Claim Period, your withdrawal request is overwritten, and time lock restarts.&#x20;

After the timelock expires, the withdrawal enters the *Claim Period*.  You can finalize withdrawal from the BSP anytime during the *Claim Period* which runs for 72 hours.&#x20;

If you fail to finalize the withdrawal within the claim period, you need to initiate a new withdrawal.

3 - Finalize the Withdrawal

During the claim Period, your pending withdrawals will show as in the image below.

Click **Withdraw** and confirm the prompt in your wallet.
