How to withdraw assets in DeFi Earn

Last updated: Jan 26, 2026

When you withdraw (also called deallocate) from a DeFi Vault, your assets are moved back to your spendable balance. Most withdrawals are instant, in rare cases, if vault liquidity is low, you may only be able to withdraw a portion of your funds right away. The rest will become available later once the vault is replenished.
