set your private key and validator address as a env. (If you don't know where your private key is, it is in a file called validator.key. or it should also be included in the mail you received during onboarding. )

PRIVATE_KEY="PUT YOUR PRIVATE KEY HERE"

VAL_ADDRESS="PUT YOUR VALIDATOR ADDRESS HERE"

All steps are necessary.

- Step 1

# Set the state to false

snarkos developer execute credits.aleo set_validator_state false --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY --query "https://api.explorer.aleo.org/v1" --broadcast "https://api.explorer.aleo.org/v1/testnet3/transaction/broadcast"

- Step 2 

# Fetch all of your delegator addresses, and unbond them.

2.a) Fetch delegators

## check if python and required libs are installed

```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hoodrunio/Aleo-tools/main/fetch_delegators.py -O fetch_delegators.py
```
## Open this script with `nano` or similar editor and set your private key.  
```
pip3 install requests
python3 fetch_delegators.py
```
## this script will fetch all of your delegators and save them in a file called delegators.txt  

2.b) Unbond delegators

```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hoodrunio/Aleo-tools/main/unbond.sh -O unbond.sh
```
## Open this script with nano or similar editor and set your private key. 
```
chmod +x unbond.sh
./unbond.sh
```

## This may take a while, once the script is complete you can move on to the next step. 

- Step 3

# Unbond your validator

```
AMOUNT=$(curl -s "https://api.explorer.aleo.org/v1/testnet3/program/credits.aleo/mapping/bonded/$VAL_ADDRESS" | awk '{print $5}' | sed 's/\\n}"//')
snarkos developer execute credits.aleo unbond_public "$AMOUNT" --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY --query "https://api.explorer.aleo.org/v1" --broadcast "https://api.explorer.aleo.org/v1/testnet3/transaction/broadcast"
```
