# Conversion - Redeeming

GRAIL and xGRAIL are mutually convertible into each other, but the process is different depending on the direction.

### GRAIL > xGRAIL conversion

GRAIL can be freely converted into xGRAIL at any time. The process is instant, and the ratio is 1:1.

[get-xgrail](https://docs.camelot.exchange/get-started/castle-tutorials/utilize-xgrail/get-xgrail)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### xGRAIL > GRAIL redeem

The redemption process to convert xGRAIL to GRAIL implies vesting, the duration of which is selected by the user. The conversion ratio will increase proportionally with the vesting duration:

* The minimum vesting duration of 15 days will provide a 1:0.5 ratio
* The maximum vesting duration of 6 months will provide a 1:1 ratio

{% hint style="success" %}
If the selected vesting duration is lower than the maximum (ratio < 1:1), the unclaimed excess GRAIL is burned
{% endhint %}

{% endcontent-ref %}

### Real Yield Staking plugin allocation

While being redeemed, the xGRAIL is automatically allocated to the [yield staking plugin](https://docs.camelot.exchange/protocol/xgrail-plugins/real-yield-staking), but **only for 50% of its value**.

{% hint style="info" %}
For instance, if a user was to redeem 1000 xGRAIL, he would earn staking rewards as if he actually allocated 500 of them to the real yield staking plugin.
{% endhint %}

### **Cancel redeem**

Any xGRAIL redeeming process can be freely interrupted at any time by the user.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Any cancelled redeem before its end will void the whole process. User will retrieve its entire amount of redeeming xGRAIL, and no GRAIL.
{% endhint %}
