How to cancel an active staking position

June 24, 2026

On Paribu, you can cancel an active staking position before its term ends. In case of early cancellation, the estimated reward is not earned; only the principal you locked in the pool is returned to your balance. To cancel multiple active positions at once, you can also use the bulk cancel option.

What happens when a position is cancelled?

When you cancel a position, the following steps take place:

Estimated reward is voided: With early cancellation, the estimated reward accrued during the term is not earned and is not credited to your balance.
Principal is released: The amount locked in the pool is returned to your balance.
Locked balance is updated: The relevant amount is removed from the Staked sub-category of the locked balance on the asset detail.
Recorded in transaction history: The cancellation is added to the Completed tab of the screen that opens from the Transactions icon at the top of the screen as a Stake transaction; the row description indicates that the amount was cancelled.

Warning: Early cancellation cannot be reversed. To earn the full estimated reward, the amount must remain in the pool throughout the term.

Cancelling a single position

Your active positions are listed in the Pending tab of the screen that opens from the Transactions icon at the top of the screen. To cancel a position, follow these steps:

Tap the Transactions icon at the top of the screen and switch to the Pending tab
Tap the staking position you want to cancel to open its details
Tap the Cancel button at the bottom of the details screen
In the Do you want to cancel? window that opens, review the days remaining until the term ends, the estimated reward, and the warning
Tap the red Cancel staking button to confirm the cancellation

Tip: You can start the cancellation directly without going to the details screen by tapping the Cancel button shown on the right side of the position row.

Bulk cancelling all positions

If you want to end multiple active positions in a single action, you can use the Cancel all link next to the earn section heading in the Pending tab of the Transactions screen. When you tap the link, the question "Are you sure you want to cancel all your staking transactions?" is shown in the confirmation window. To confirm, tap the red Cancel all button at the bottom of the window; all your active positions are cancelled at the same time and the principal amounts are returned to your balance.

Note: Bulk cancellation covers all positions that are active at the time of cancellation. If you have positions you do not want to cancel, it is recommended to manage them with the individual cancel method.

When is the amount reflected in my balance?

When the cancellation is confirmed, the principal amount is transferred to your balance within a short time. The reflection time may vary from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the operation of the network and the pool. If you think your balance has not been updated after cancellation, you can refresh the screen by pulling it down or check the asset's available balance again on the Wallet tab.

Frequently asked questions

When I cancel, are my rewards completely lost?

Yes. If you cancel before the term ends, the accrued estimated reward is not earned; only the principal you locked in the pool is returned to your balance. To earn rewards, your position must remain open throughout the term defined by the pool.

Is there a fee for cancellation?

No additional fee is charged by Paribu for cancellation. However, since the accrued estimated reward is not earned when you cancel, you experience a loss of rewards.

Can I rejoin the same pool after cancellation?

Yes. If the pool is still open for participation and its capacity is not full, you can rejoin. The new transaction starts as a separate position and the term begins again.

Are stake and cancellation transactions shown as separate rows in the past transactions list?

Yes. Opening and cancelling a position are each added to the list as separate Stake transactions. The row description indicates that one was completed and the other was cancelled.
