👉  **Step 3**: Confirm and sign the withdrawal transaction using your connected wallet.

👉  **Step 4:** After initiating the withdrawal, you'll need to wait for a specified epoch, which is approximately 20 days - 5 epochs. During this period, your funds will be locked.

👉  **Step 5:** After the waiting period is over (about 20 days), you can now proceed to redeem your funds. Click on the **"Redeem"** button.

👉  **Step 6:** You'll be prompted to sign another transaction to complete the redemption process. Sign the transaction using your connected wallet.

### **Important Considerations:**

* The waiting period mentioned in Step 4 is crucial for certain procedural and security measures within the Pool.
* Always verify the transaction details and amounts thoroughly before confirmation to ensure accuracy.

**Note:** *Please be aware that if users do not withdraw their USDC during the redemption epoch, all remaining USDC will be automatically re-staked into the Vault.*
