Withdrawing
You can withdraw your deposit from Wick at any time. There's no lockup period. When you expand a position card, you'll see the withdraw section with three options.
Withdraw options
lanternSOL (Instant)
This returns your deposit as lanternSOL directly to your wallet. It's the simplest and fastest option. One transaction, and you have liquid lanternSOL that you can hold, trade, or use elsewhere in DeFi.
SOL via Instant Swap
This is a two-step process that happens back to back:
Your lanternSOL is withdrawn from the Wick vault
The lanternSOL is swapped to SOL through Jupiter
You'll need to sign both transactions. The app fetches a Jupiter quote before you confirm, so you can see roughly how much SOL you'll receive. There's a small amount of slippage (0.5% max by default) since it's a market swap.
SOL via Unstake
This option burns your lanternSOL through the stake pool's WithdrawStake instruction, which creates a deactivating stake account. After the current Solana epoch ends, you can withdraw the SOL from that stake account using the Stake Manager page.
This method has zero slippage since you're going through the native unstaking process, but it takes time. Solana epochs are roughly 2-3 days long, and you need to wait until the epoch boundary. The app shows you an estimate of how long until the current epoch ends.
The entire flow (Wick vault withdraw + stake pool WithdrawStake + deactivation) happens in a single atomic transaction.
Partial withdrawals
You don't have to withdraw everything. Enter a specific amount of lanternSOL in the withdraw field and only that amount will be pulled from your position. The rest stays in the vault and keeps earning yield.
If you leave the amount field empty or click "Max," the full position will be withdrawn.
Full withdrawal
When you withdraw your entire position:
All deposited lanternSOL is returned to you
Any claimable yield is also transferred in the same transaction
The position account is closed
Make sure you have the associated token account for your target token if you have claimable yield. The app handles this automatically by including an idempotent ATA creation instruction in the transaction.
After unstaking
If you used the unstake option, head to the Stake Manager after the epoch ends. You'll see your deactivated stake account there and can withdraw the SOL to your wallet.
