This process has two steps: 1. Schedule a token lower {% embed url="" %} 2. Claim lowered amount {% embed url="" %} #### STEP 1: Schedule a token lower 1. Find the `Lower` menu in the account popover menu on top-right of the screen. You may also click on `⋮` icon located next to your EWX balance then click `Lower Tokens`

2. Enter lowering amount and click `Approve` {% hint style="success" %} You may also use the slider or pre-defined buttons that will calculate based on your account balance {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} The minimum amount for lowering is 1 EWT {% endhint %}

3. Enter an ETH address and/or select an ETH account for which the lowering amount will go to. Make sure that the chosen account is highlighted before clicking `Next`

4. Review the transaction and click `Confirm`

5. Approve the transaction in your wallet

6. Wait for the transaction being executed

7. You will see a "Transaction scheduled" message along with the transaction URL to Polkadot explorer {% hint style="warning" %} Lowering operation will take approximately 24 hours to succeed {% endhint %}

8. To check the status of the scheduled lower, click on the `Transactions` icon on the upper section of the screen

4. Approve the transaction in your wallet

5. Wait for the transaction to be executed and you will see a success message

6. Newly executed lower claim status will be displayed as `Claiming` {% hint style="warning" %} It takes approximately 5 - 10 minutes for the claim transaction to complete. The status will automatically display `Success` once lower claim is completed. {% endhint %}
