# How to unstake from the stability pool?

Understand that withdrawing from the stability pool gauge to fxUSD & USDC is a two-step process. You first need to unstake from the $FXN gauge, then withdraw this stability pool token for USDC and fxUSD.\
There is a redemption period (see [risk-parameters](https://fxprotocol.gitbook.io/fx-docs/risk-management/risk-parameters "mention"))  from the stability pool to prevent unhealthy arbitrage operations.

* Head over to the “[Earn](https://fx.aladdin.club/v2/earn)” page.
* Connect your wallet using the upper right “Connect Wallet” button.
* Look for the “fxUSD Stability Pool Gauge” strategy.
* If not already, expand the strategy by clicking the down arrow button on the right of the box ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeel5Y3gyRJDAyc5pEFP327A6__bfoSMc8ypj2M4cf-aypIR_7T4Wv_pWl7hO5cux1l0XvbdQES0k8QVTtTQuhz7J1Uvwrr0sd_xlis-1dK_RQG3Bri9x8a1wXNKSbcMizvb3kK3w?key=GA1o45aLKYw_edI6IcXZgMv2)
