Editing Ape FAQ (section)

== How do I withdraw tokens from ApeChain? ==

'''Step 1:''' Go to the Bridge tab and select ApeChain as the "From" network. Make sure to set the token to APE if you're withdrawing APE.

'''Step 2:''' Choose the destination network and the amount of APE (or other tokens) you want to withdraw.

'''Step 3:''' Sign the transaction to initiate the withdrawal.

'''Step 4:''' Once the required time has passed, confirm the transaction based on the destination network's processing time.

'''Note:''' Some canonical bridges, such as Arbitrum, have a 7-day withdrawal waiting period for security reasons. A canonical bridge is an official bridge managed by the network itself, ensuring token transfers maintain the same token standard and security. These bridges often have longer waiting periods to enhance security. Please pay attention to any withdrawal warnings in the Portal before signing. If you initiate a transaction with a 7-day withdrawal, it cannot be undone, and you must wait the full 7 days.

For a faster option, you can initiate a faster withdrawal (cross-chain swap), which will complete more quickly.
