Veno will bridge users' ATOM from Cronos chain to CosmosHub, which will be staked and auto-compounded on the CosmosHub validators selected by Veno. ## ATOM Unstaking Users can unstake their ATOM on Veno, upon which their LATOM will be burnt, and wait up to 24 days to receive their ATOM back, based on the exchange rate. There will also be a small withdrawal fee of 0.2% on unstaked ATOM. Note: ATOM takes 21 days to unstake on CosmosHub, and unstaking will be performed in batches every 3 days, hence the maximum wait time of up to 24 days. Upon requesting to unstake their ATOM, users will receive an NFT representing their claimable ATOM as of a specific date, which can be transferred/sold on selected third party NFT platforms during or after the 21-24 day waiting period to further enhance users’ liquidity. Note: The unstaked ATOM will be claimable for the NFT owner at the end of the waiting period. So do hold on to the NFT if you wish to receive the unstaked CRO. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.veno.finance/veno-finance/protocol/liquid-atom-staking.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
