**Step 7:** During the cooldown period, you can cancel the unstake action if needed.

**Step 8:** After the cooldown period, click “Execute” to confirm the unstake (screenshot not available).

This guide covers the essential steps for staking, bridging, claiming rewards, and unstaking on Heima. Below are the concluding actions to ensure that the entire process is successfully completed.

## Finalizing the Unstaking Process <a href="#id-7a11" id="id-7a11"></a>

After the 7-day cooldown period, you will need to finalize the unstaking process:

1. **Execute the Unstake**: Once the cooldown period ends, click on the “Execute” button to confirm and complete the unstake. This action finalizes the process, and your staked LIT will be available in your wallet.
2. Although a screenshot is not available for this step, the process is straightforward and should be completed once the cooldown period concludes.

## Key Reminders <a href="#a009" id="a009"></a>

* **Minimum Staking Requirements**: Keep in mind the minimum staking amounts for both staking and bridging processes (5 LIT for staking, 16 LIT for bridging).
* **Node Selection**: When choosing a node, remember that the displayed APR is based on the original staking pool, and selecting a different node will not impact the bonus APR from score rewards.
* **Cooldown Period for Unstaking**: The 7-day cooldown period is mandatory and cannot be skipped. However, if you change your mind, you can cancel the unstake during this period.
* **Claiming Rewards**: Always ensure you manually claim your bonus rewards, as they will not be automatically transferred to your wallet like the standard staking rewards.

By following these steps carefully, you can effectively manage your staking and bridging activities on Heima, maximize your rewards, and ensure the smooth operation of your assets.<br>
