Thanks for writing this up @lemiscate! I just wanted to note a few additional things for anyone that uses this guide:
- Users can also adjust the gas price to use for the transaction. A good reference to use when setting this value is https://www.ethgasstation.info/ which provides different gas price suggestions based upon how fast you want your transaction to confirm. If you’re using a wallet like Metamask to submit the transaction, the wallet might also try to suggest a gas price for you, but it might be worth double checking that the gas price suggestion is acceptable for you. If you’re using a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano S to submit the transaction, you will want to set the gas price in MyCrypto since you will only be confirming the transaction in the hardware wallet.
- Users that want to withdraw after partially unbonding can see this forum post
- While directly interacting with the contracts in this manner works, it does suffer from poor UX and lack of user protections since users have to construct transactions manually. The core team is working on an update to the explorer application to include the partial unbonding feature so hopefully users won’t have to interact directly with the contracts for the purpose of partially unbonding sometime soon!
