# Redeeming WAR

WAR can always be exchanged for its underlying assets. The redemption weight is determined by the current ratio of locked assets within the system. Redeeming WAR is a two step process.

1. First you need to initiate a redemption and get placed in the queue to receive the designated amount of tokens as soon as they are unlocked from their native protocols. 
2. Once the tokens become accessible, you can proceed with the redemption process and withdraw your tokens.
