# Octopool: Withdraw Liquidity
## Symbiosis Octopools Overview
Symbiosis uses **Octopools** for all cross-chain operations. Every cross-chain transaction goes through an Octopool located on the **Symbiosis chain**, also referred to as the **Symbiosis Host Chain**.
Although liquidity can be provided from any supported chain in one operation, withdrawals must be performed only on the Symbiosis Host Chain.
**About gas on the Symbiosis chain:**
The network uses **SIS** as its native gas token (bridged from Ethereum). SIS can be obtained in two ways:
1. Via the official L2 bridge at
2. Via [Symbiosis WebApp](https://app.symbiosis.finance/swap?chainIn=Symbiosis\&chainOut=Symbiosis\&tokenIn=SIS\&tokenOut=SIS)
## Withdrawal Process
Liquidity withdrawal has two steps:
1. **Remove liquidity** from the pool.
2. **Bridge sTokens** (e.g., sUSDC, sWETH, sWBTC) into the corresponding native assets (USDC, WETH, WBTC, etc.). Do not miss the instructions below: [#bridging-susdc-sweth-swbtc-etc](#bridging-susdc-sweth-swbtc-etc "mention")
## Removing Liquidity
To withdraw liquidity from Symbiosis Octopool:
1. Go to [Symbiosis WebApp > the *Pools* tab > My Liquidity](https://app.symbiosis.finance/liquidity-v2):\
2. Press *Manage* for the asset you want to withdraw.
3. Press *Remove*:\
4. Select the amount to withdraw (e.g. 75%):\
5. If prompted, press *Switch network to \* and confirm in your wallet.
6. Press *Remove* and confirm in your wallet.
7. Wait for confirmation — liquidity is removed from the pool.
**Note:**\
When liquidity is withdrawn, you receive **sTokens** (e.g., sUSDC, sWETH, sWBTC) on the **Symbiosis** chain.\
These can be bridged 1:1 to their native tokens (USDC, WETH, WBTC, etc.).\
See instructions below for bridging.

## Bridging sUSDC, sWETH, sWBTC, etc.
When liquidity is withdrawn from Octopools, you receive **sTokens** (sUSDC, sWETH, sWBTC, etc.) on the **Symbiosis chain**. These sTokens can be bridged 1:1 back to their native tokens (USDC, WETH, WBTC, etc.) on your target network.
To bridge sTokens:
1. Go to the **Bridge** section in Symbiosis WebApp: \
\
**Important:** \
The **Bridge** section is different from the **Swap (Exchange)** section \
2. Connect your wallet.
3. In *Transfer From*, select the **Symbiosis chain** and choose the sToken to bridge (e.g., sWETH).\
4. In *Transfer To*, select the destination token (only one option is available for each sToken type, e.g., sWETH → WETH on Arbitrum One).\
5. Enter the amount to bridge:\
6. Press *Burn*, then confirm the transaction in your wallet.
7. Wait for confirmation — the tekens are bridged to the destination network.
