Initiating the Withdrawal
Initiating the withdrawal requires depositing your pool tokens into the pending withdrawal contract, starting the cooldown period.
The process consists of 3 steps:
  1. 1.
    ​Determine the number of pool tokens to withdraw​
  2. 2.
    ​Approve​
  3. 3.
    ​Initiate the withdrawal​

If you are withdrawing your entire balance, you can skip this step and use the total number of pool tokens in your wallet in the WEI format in the following steps.
This step will explain how to calculate the number of bnTokens you need to withdraw to receive a specific number of tokens.
  • Visit the BancorNetworkInfo on etherscan​
  • Execute the underlyingToPoolToken function (this is a Read function)

In order for the contract to interact with the tokens in your wallet and perform the transaction, an Approve must be set first for the contract.
  • Visit the relevant pool token token contract, for example: bnBNT | bnETH | bnDAI | bnLINK​
  • Execute the Approve function (this is a Write function)
