# Withdrawing

Withdrawing from Fusion vaults depends on the type of vault. Please refer to the next subsections to learn more.

## Instant Withdrawal

__

Vaults that support the instant withdrawal method allow users to withdraw their assets immediately without any waiting period. This is particularly true for vaults with liquid strategies, such as a lending optimizer vault.

## Scheduled Withdrawal

Withdrawing from some types of Fusion vaults (like leveraged looping) requires unwinding a complex \[leveraged] position. As a result, withdrawals must be scheduled in advance to give the Atomist sufficient time to prepare the necessary liquidity.

Scheduling a withdrawal is a two-step process:

1. **Request Withdrawal**: First, submit a withdrawal request.

2. The vault manager has a specific time, individually specified for each vault, to process and fulfill it.
3. Monitor the withdrawal page to check the status.
4. **Finalize Withdrawal**: Once ready, the funds will become available for withdrawal.

> NOTE: Missing the withdrawal window will restart the two-step process and incur an additional [Offboarding Contribution](https://ipor.io/docs/fusion-for-depositors/user-guide/vault-fees/onboarding-and-offboarding-contributions.md), if this is levied in the respective vault.

## Hybrid Withdrawal

Vaults support both scheduled and instant withdrawals (hybrid withdrawals) unless the Atomist has turned scheduled withdrawals off. If a scheduled withdrawal vault has a buffer of liquid assets, it may permit instant withdrawals when the requested amount is equal to or less than the available (unused) liquidity.
