The transaction will also appear in the "Pending" tab showing further details. Once the transaction is confirmed by the EWX pallet, the details will further display when a particular transaction will become redeemable. Depending on the EWX pallet, the total unstake amount may be divided into multiple chunks with an estimated ERA when it can become claimable.
