What is the difference between the unstake and lock period times?

The unstake periods varies from pool to pool, and there are two ways in which they work.

Unstake Period Time

Unstake period time means, if you choose to unstake, you have to wait for that period of time to expire, before you can withdraw your staked tokens. During this time, no rewards will be gathered, as it stops accumulating rewards from the moment you choose to unstake.

The unstake period varies from 1-5 days.

Lock Period Time

The lock period time means that when you stake into a pool with a fixed lock period, you cannot unstake your DIO for the entire duration of the lock period shown. You will be accumulating rewards every day during this time, but you will not have the option to unstake for the full duration. While staked, you will be able to claim your rewards on a daily basis.

Lock periods can vary from 30 days or more depending on the pool you staked in. 

The team will add in new staking pools with different unstake and lock periods as time goes on, so you can choose which one you prefer to stake in.
