## Operational notes

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="7-day unbonding">
    BNB has a fixed 7-day unbonding period. Plan exits accordingly.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Redelegation">
    You can redelegate stakes to a different validator at any time, provided you have at least 1 BNB staked after redelegation. A 0.02% redelegation fee applies to discourage frequent switching.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Precision loss">
    During conversion between BNB and govBNB when staking, integer division may cause precision loss. If exactly 1 BNB is staked, the staked balance may show as 0.999...99 BNB, which could prevent redelegation (requires 1 BNB minimum).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Shield recommendation">
    For institutional flows, validate with [Shield](/documentation/shield-security/shield).
