## Unlock

gNFT holders are able to claim gDAI anytime after the unlock date by unlocking through the UI. This function burns the NFT and transfers gDAI to owner's wallet.

## Withdraw

When a withdraw request's epoch is the active epoch, the requested amount may be redeemed. If the epoch window is missed, the request becomes invalid and a new request must be made.

This can only be done during the withdraw window of an epoch.

See [Withdraw locks](/liquidity-farming-pools/gtoken-vaults#withdraw-locks) in overview.
