# Claim and Other Operations

### Check your BTC balance

You can check the BTC balance under your address in **Accounts → My Accounts**, with the unit in satoshi.

### Unbind

After unbinding, your $BEVM will enter a frozen state. For regular users, the freezing period lasts **43,200 blocks** (approximately **3 days**), while for validators, it lasts **432,000 blocks**. After the freezing period ends, you will need to manually click **Unfreeze** to release the funds.

### Rebind

Rebinding allows you to stake your currently staked BEVM to another validator. This process takes effect immediately upon successful execution.

### Reminder

* The additional fee for rebond and validate (i.e., candidacy) is 1 BEVM.
* To limit the frequency of rebonding, it is stipulated that only one rebond operation is allowed every 3 days (i.e., 43200 blocks).
* Validators who wish to unstake their tokens are subject to a 30-day (432,000 blocks) freezing period, while nominators have a 3-day (43,200 blocks) freezing period. After the freezing period has elapsed, a thawing transaction must be sent to reclaim the staked voting amount.
