# UnfreezeBalanceV2 - Tron

This method builds an unsigned Stake 2.0 transaction that unstakes previously staked TRX. After an unstake, the TRX enters a waiting period before it can be withdrawn.

## Service

This method is served by the `protocol.Wallet` service.

## Method

```protobuf
rpc UnfreezeBalanceV2 (UnfreezeBalanceV2Contract) returns (TransactionExtention)
```
