Here’s how to unstake slvlUSD for lvlUSD using Etherscan

1. Visit the slvlUSD contract on Etherscan [here](https://etherscan.io/address/0x4737D9b4592B40d51e110b94c9C043c6654067Ae#writeContract)

3. Call the `cooldownShares` function to initiate the unstake process as follows. Note that slvlUSD has `18` decimals, so if you were to unstake 5 slvlUSD, your amount would be `5000000000000000000` . You can also use the `balanceOf` function in this contract to fetch your total balance and use it in the shares field.

4. Once the `cooldownShares` transaction is complete, wait 2 seconds, and then call the `unstake` function. The receiver address is your wallet address which was used in the above transaction
