# Unbond

Staking KUJI on the Kujira network is an instantaneous process. Unstaking or unbonding KUJI is a bit more complicated. To unbond KUJI on the Kujira network, 14 days must lapse for the unbonding process to finish. As with Staking KUJI, KUJI can be unbonded in the [stake tab](https://docs.kujira.app/dapps-and-infrastructure/blue/stake) on BLUE. 

This delay helps secure and protect the Kujira network by aligning stakers' governance incentives with the value of the KUJI token. As a result, the greater percentage of KUJI supply that is staked, the more confidence in the network.

This can be done by navigating to a validator that you have staked with, selecting that validator, and then clicking the unstake button.
