 Manta Network runs a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism.
 
 Similar to other Layer 1 blockchains, block producers are selected out of a set of candidates based on the total MANTA stake backing each specific block producer candidate - in our case called a `collator`. In addition, users who don't wish to run their own `collator` can instead `delegate` their MANTA token to an existing collator and gain a share of its rewards.

-You have two routes to stake your MANTA:
+Since staking has ended, your immediate next steps are:
+
+1. **Unstake your MANTA** — If your position has not yet been forcibly unbonded, initiate unstaking via the [Migration DApp](https://app.manta.network/manta/migrate). The standard 7-day unbonding period applies.
+2. **Migrate to Manta Pacific** — Once unbonded, use the Migration DApp to bridge your MANTA to Manta Pacific (or to Polkadot / other parachains via XCM).
+3. **Missed the deadline?** — Don't worry. A chain state snapshot will be taken before the slot expires. All unmigrated MANTA will be airdropped 1:1 to your corresponding address on Manta Pacific.

+The automatic 1:1 airdrop applies only to MANTA tokens. Non-MANTA assets (DOT, GLMR, USDt, etc.) must be migrated manually before the chain stops producing blocks.

+## How to Unstake and Migrate
 
-Now that you’re connected to the staking dapp, click on the **Start Staking** button
+Instead of the staking guide below, follow these steps to recover and migrate your MANTA:
 
-![](images/head.png)
+### Step 1 — Connect to the Migration DApp
 
-Choose your collator and click Stake
+Visit the [Migration DApp](https://app.manta.network/manta/migrate) and connect using your Polkadot wallet (Polkadot.js / Talisman / SubWallet).
 
-![](images/select_collator.png)
+### Step 2 — Unstake your MANTA
 
-Afterwards, you will be presented with a small pop up that prompts you to enter in the amount you wish to delegate. Simply enter the amount and click the Stake button. Note that there is a minimum amount needed to stake.
+The Migration DApp will automatically detect your staking status on Atlantic. If you have staked assets, the DApp will provide an option to unstake. Initiate unstaking and wait for the **7-day unbonding period** to complete.
 
-![](images/choose_stake.png)
+### Step 3 — Choose a migration destination
 
-Success!
-Once the transaction goes through, wait a few moments and you will see that you are now staking your MANTA tokens.
+Once unbonded, you can:
+- **Migrate to Manta Pacific** — via the Manta Bridge cross-chain transfer (recommended for staying in the Manta ecosystem)
+- **Migrate to Polkadot or other parachains** — via XCM transfer (for DOT, GLMR, and other assets going back to their native chains)
 
-Rewards are distributed every 6 hours, and you will see the rewards automatically update in the dashboard.
+### Step 4 — Confirm and wait
 
-![](images/active_collator.png)
+Confirm the transaction and wait a few minutes for it to arrive at your destination. Under normal circumstances, a single migration transaction completes within a few minutes.
+
+:::note Address Format Change
+Atlantic uses Substrate address format (SS58), while Manta Pacific uses Ethereum address format (starting with 0x). The Migration DApp will guide you to connect your Ethereum wallet address to receive your assets. Make sure you control the private key / seed phrase for that Ethereum address.
+:::
+
+For the complete timeline and more details, see the [Migration FAQ](/docs/manta-atlantic/migration-faq).

+
+:::note Historical Reference — How Delegation Used to Work
+The original delegation guide is preserved below for reference only. The staking dApp is no longer active.
+:::
+
+Before delegation was closed, users needed to be familiar with the [Staking Rules for Delegators](../Rules#for-delegators).
+
+When visiting the Staking page for the first time, a pop up would appear asking you to allow polkadot.js access to the dApp.

 # FAQ
+
+:::danger Manta Atlantic Staking Has Ended
+Staking rewards stopped on **May 1, 2026**. New staking was closed on March 18, 2026. The parachain slot expires in late July 2026. Please unstake and migrate your assets using the [Migration DApp](https://app.manta.network/manta/migrate).
+:::
+
+## Migration FAQ
+
+### Q: I'm currently staking MANTA. What should I do?
+
+Please unstake and migrate as soon as possible using the [Migration DApp](https://app.manta.network/manta/migrate). Key dates:
+
+- **March 18, 2026**: New staking no longer accepted
+- **May 1, 2026**: Staking rewards stopped; forced unstaking began
+- **June 2026**: Chain enters read-only mode (most on-chain functions disabled, but migration transfers remain available)
+- **Late July 2026**: Parachain slot expires and chain stops producing blocks
+
+### Q: How do I unstake and migrate?
+
+1. Visit the [Migration DApp](https://app.manta.network/manta/migrate) and connect with your Polkadot wallet (Polkadot.js / Talisman / SubWallet)
+2. The DApp will automatically detect your staking status and provide an option to unstake
+3. Initiate unstaking and wait for the 7-day unbonding period
+4. Once unbonded, choose your migration destination:
+   - **Manta Atlantic → Manta Pacific** (recommended)
+   - **Manta Atlantic → Polkadot or other parachains** (via XCM)
+5. Confirm the transaction — it typically completes within a few minutes
+
+### Q: What if I miss all migration deadlines?
+
+A complete chain state snapshot will be taken before the chain stops producing blocks. All unmigrated **MANTA** will be airdropped 1:1 to corresponding addresses on Manta Pacific. However, non-MANTA assets (DOT, GLMR, USDt, etc.) must be migrated manually — they cannot be airdropped on Pacific.
+
+### Q: Will my address change after migrating to Pacific?
+
+Yes. Atlantic uses Substrate address format (SS58), while Manta Pacific uses Ethereum address format (starting with 0x). The Migration DApp will guide you to connect an Ethereum wallet address to receive your assets.
+
+### Q: What happens to assets that are not MANTA (DOT, GLMR, USDt)?
+
+These assets must be migrated manually before the chain stops. They can be sent back to their native chains via XCM through the Migration DApp. The automatic 1:1 airdrop only covers MANTA tokens.
+
+### Q: I'm a Collator node operator — what should I do?
+
+Please complete your unstaking as soon as possible. After May 1, 2026, inflation is set to 0 and Collators no longer receive any block production rewards. Regular reminders and step-by-step guides are posted in the Collator community Telegram group. The goal is for all Collators to safely exit before the slot expires in July.
+
+### Q: Where can I get the latest migration information?
+
+- **Discord:** [`#atlantic-migration`](https://discord.gg/PbaJZGPQ) channel
+- **Twitter/X:** [@MantaNetwork](https://twitter.com/MantaNetwork)
+- **Telegram:** [Manta official group](https://t.me/mantanetworkofficial)

+## Historical Staking FAQ

 ### Q: What is the Manta staking APR?
 2% of the initial supply is awarded to Manta stakers for the first year.
 APR is varies depending on your percentage stake on a collator and whether it producing a block on its turn each time or if it's missing some
