Sweat says its NEAR validator stops on 31 October 2026. If you have NEAR staked there (in Sweat Wallet or any NEAR wallet), unstake it, wait for the unstaking period, then withdraw it or stake it with another validator.
Open the staking section of your wallet and find sweat_validator.poolv1.near.
Choose Unstake for the full amount. Claim rewards if shown.
Wait the unstaking period (several epochs), then Withdraw the unstaked NEAR to your account.
Optional: stake with another validator, or keep it liquid.
Questions
How long does unstaking NEAR take?
Several epochs (on NEAR, typically about 2–3 days) before the NEAR becomes withdrawable. Start well before 31 October.
Do I have to unstake, or can I redelegate?
Sweat says unstake or redelegate. Redelegating to another validator also requires unstaking first, then staking with the new validator.
