# Instant Withdrawals

Instant Withdrawals allow users to exit their ezETH position almost instantly, enabling better leverage, faster position management, and more efficient strategies. Users can request an instant withdrawal with a fee, bypassing the traditional unstaking cooling-down period.

### Benefits

* **More Options** – Choose between traditional withdrawals (with a better exchange rate) or instant withdrawals (with a fee) based on users' needs.
* **Enhanced Liquidity & Zero Downtime** – Eliminate long cooldown periods, ensuring assets remain liquid and productive. Capital is never sidelined, enabling seamless reallocation to high-yield opportunities.
* **Better DeFi Strategies** – Execute leverage adjustments, manage positions swiftly, and optimize yield strategies without delays.&#x20;
* **Reduced Peg Volatility** – By providing an alternative to DEXs, fewer swaps may result in less volatility on pools.

### Fees

With Instant Withdrawals, users can exit their ezETH position by paying a variable fee that changes based on the withdrawal buffer size. If a withdrawal would reduce the buffer below the minimum allowed threshold, the transaction will revert.

The contract determines the fee based on the following parameters:

* Minimum Fee (Basis Points)
* Maximum Fee (Basis Points)
* Minimum Withdraw Buffer Allowed

The contract calculates the fee percentage by:

* Measuring the buffer’s fullness before and after the withdrawal.&#x20;
* Mapping the change proportionally between the minimum and maximum fee values using a linear scale. A fuller buffer results in a lower fee, and vice versa.

### Error Handling

* If the protocol is paused, instant withdrawals will be disabled.
* Once slashing is enabled, Renzo will integrate Chaos Oracles (or similar safeguards) to prevent withdrawals if anomalies are detected.
