Can you unstake them at any time?
Are there any safe places to stake btc, eth and those top coins?
as far as I know, most of the LST platform (LIDO, ETHERFI) and so on allow instant withdrawal, no need to wait for lock up period, other platform is mostly the same, but we don't advise to stake if you aren't well versed with how dex works and how to avoid scams, too many scam out there and simply making mistake of connecting your wallet to some random malicious dex will drain your money.
If i were you i'd stick with launchpools from big exchanges, it's easy and usually safe enough, the key here is just to stick with the reputable exchange to not risk your money.
after all, APY is useless if our money got drained by the hacker.
