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.
