# Unwrapping

1. Navigate to Wrap Page: Return to the wrapping interface.
2. Toggle to Unwrap: Switch to the unwrap mode.
3. Specify Amount and Confirm: Input the amount of wBITS to unwrap and approve the transaction.
4. Receive BITS: Retrieve the equivalent BITS tokens, inclusive of any value appreciation from rebases.

Unwrapping is a prerequisite for unstaking and allows users to realize gains before withdrawing to native BTC.
