Withdraw
Open Collateral, click Withdraw on a row, choose a wallet, enter an amount, and sign. The withdrawal is gasless: you sign an intent, not an on-chain transaction, and the relayer releases the collateral. You can withdraw only your free balance; margin locked in open positions stays put. Time: ~1 min.
How do I withdraw collateral?
Open Collateral, then click Withdraw on the asset you want to pull. The popup opens locked to that one token, no chooser. Then:
- Choose where it goes. Under Withdraw to, keep your connected wallet, or type another address. The address is checked live; only an approved recipient is allowed.
- Enter an amount, or click Max to take the whole free balance.
- Sign. You sign a withdrawal intent, no gas, and the relayer releases the collateral to the recipient. Your free balance falls when it lands.
Then one of two things happens: the intent is accepted and the collateral lands at the recipient, or the button stays disabled because the recipient is not approved or there is no free balance. The button names the reason.
Step 1: each asset row carries its own Withdraw. Click it on the token you want to pull.
Step 2: the Withdraw popup, locked to that one token: pick an approved recipient, Max fills the full free balance, and Withdraw signs the gasless intent.
Step 3: the withdrawal sends: that token's free balance and your total posted both fall.
Where can the money go?
To an approved recipient, and only there. A withdrawal releases to an operator-approved on-chain route, never to an arbitrary address. Two ways to get one:
- Your connected wallet. The default recipient.
- An address you request. Type it; if it is not yet approved, the panel offers a request. An operator approves it on-chain, you never self-approve, and a Re-check then surfaces it as allowed.
This is a compliance gate, not a convenience setting. It keeps collateral from leaving to an address no one vetted.
How much can I take out?
Your free general balance, and no more. The amount available is the collateral not currently posted as margin. Initial margin sitting against an open position is segregated for the life of that trade; it returns to your free balance only when the position settles or closes. So a withdrawal can never pull margin out from under a live hedge.
WarningLocked margin is not withdrawable. To free margin held against a position, settle or close it first. See Manage your positions (~3 min).
What about my won profit?
It comes out with the rest. As a position moves your way, variation margin clears the gain into your general balance on its own. When you withdraw, any pending variation margin is realized into your free balance first, so what you take out includes the profit already cleared to you. You do not claim it separately. How variation margin clears P&L: Margin & VM (~4 min).
Can my firm restrict withdrawals?
Every withdrawal already releases only to an operator-approved recipient: your connected wallet, or an address an operator has vetted on-chain. Your admin curates that approved-recipient list in Advanced Settings (~2 min), so collateral can only leave to a route your firm has named.
Next: Advanced Settings (~2 min). Optional firm controls and your credit terms.
