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.
