- The program sets October 1 as the launch date and includes a 5% cap on voting power concentration through staking.

World Liberty Financial submitted a new governance proposal to its forum focused on incentivizing the active participation of holders of WLFI, the native token of the project linked to the Trump family.
The plan, which targets October 1 as its launch date, establishes that holders must lock their tokens for a minimum of 180 days through a non-custodial on-chain protocol, and vote on at least one proposal every 90 days to remain eligible for rewards.
WLFI Will Reward Participation
Rewards come from a dynamic pool funded by ecosystem sources, including fees from World Liberty Markets and Dolomite, which is updated every two weeks. Those who lock tokens in the early stages of the program could receive a larger share of the fund if initial participation is low.
Additionally, the proposal includes a 5% cap on voting power concentration through the staking protocol, to prevent large positions from dominating collective decisions. All holders will retain their governance rights regardless of whether they lock their tokens or not.
On the forum, the proposal received dozens of responses, most of them brief endorsements. On X, the trader known as Elja described the plan as “one of the most interesting developments for $WLFI holders“, calling it a way to reward commitment over passive holding.
An Unfavorable Context for the Token
This is not the first time the project has attempted to link governance and staking. Back in March, a Nodes and Super Nodes system with tiered lockups had already circulated, geared toward OTC benefits and access to partnerships, though broader in scope than this new initiative. World Liberty is currently dealing with the lawsuit from Justin Sun over frozen tokens and governance rights, a case that remains open following an adverse ruling against the company issued last month.
The WLFI token showed no significant movement in response to the news. According to CoinGecko data, it currently trades near $0.060, down approximately 1.4% over 24 hours, though 2% above its price from the previous week. Just four days ago it hit an all-time low near $0.048, far from the $0.33 high it reached in September of last year.
