How do I unstake my xVirtuals from legacy mechanism?

To unstake your xVirtuals from the legacy staking mechanism, follow these steps using BaseScan:

Step 1: Find Your Staked xVirtuals

1. Go to BaseScan.

2. Enter your wallet address in the search bar.

3. Under the "Tokens" tab, find the token name "xVirtuals".

4. Click on the xVirtuals token, and you will land on the token contract page.

Step 2: Check Your Staked Deposits

1. Navigate to the "Contract" tab.

2. Click on "Read Contract".

3. Look for the function getDepositsOf(address).

4. Enter your wallet address and click "Query".

5. You will see an array of deposits displayed like this:

   [ getDepositsOf(address) method Response ]

   [
     [7186826061000000000000, 114989216976000000000000, 1712546271, 1838690271],
     [150000000000000000000000, 287594178082191780750000, 1715000000, 1840000000]
   ]

1. The deposit ID is based on the array index (starting from 0).

   • Example:

     • First deposit → _depositId = 0

     • Second deposit → _depositId = 1

2. Decide which deposit you want to withdraw and note down the depositId.

Step 3: Unstake Your xVirtuals

1. Stay on the "Contract" tab and switch to "Write Contract".

2. Click "Connect to Web3" and connect your MetaMask (or other compatible wallet).

3. Find the function withdraw(uint256, address).

4. Input the following:

   • First field (_depositId) → Enter the depositId from Step 2.

   • Second field (_receiver) → Enter your wallet address (or the recipient’s address).

5. Click "Write" and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

Step 4: What Happens After Withdrawal?

• Your original deposit amount will be returned to your wallet.

• The share amount (shareAmount) is not transferred—it only acts as a multiplier for rewards on legacy.virtuals.io.

• Once withdrawn, the share amount is burned, meaning you can no longer use it to claim staking rewards.
