Coinbase previously disclosed a specific 1% fee for instant unstaking. The updated fee schedule removes the stated percentage and instead discloses the current fee at the time you request to unstake. The change also expands the instant unstaking fee to apply to converting a pending standard unstake to an instant unstake, in addition to the original instant unstaking option.
Consumers: Users no longer have a fixed fee amount disclosed in advance; they will see the fee only when they attempt to unstake.
The updated fee schedule removes the previously disclosed 1% fee for instant unstaking and replaces it with a variable fee disclosed only at the time you request to unstake. The change also expands instant unstaking fees to apply when converting a pending standard unstake to an instant unstake. Under the revised terms, you will not know the exact fee until you initiate the transaction, which removes the price certainty previously available.
