# Defi Option Vault Withdrawal

## How to Withdraw from an Defi Option Vault (DOV)

There are two options for withdrawal.

1. Instant Withdrawal
2. Standard Withdrawal

### Instant Withdrawal

Instant withdrawals are only available for funds that have been deposited but not yet deployed in the Defi Option Vault. Because these funds haven't been deployed they can be withdrawn immediately.

### Standard Withdrawal

Standard withdrawals are for funds that have been deployed in the vault's weekly strategy and involve a 2-step withdrawal process: 

Step 1: User submits the amount to be withdrawn 

Step 2: After the investment expires, the actual withdrawal will be completed, and the withdrawal amount includes the income.
