WLFI requires 180-day token lock to vote; $5M stakers gain exec access
WLFI tightens governance. 180‑day lock for voting. A $5M staking tier opens direct access to executives.
World Liberty Financial approved a new governance rule with 99.12% support from 1,800 votes. The proposal mandates a 180‑day lock to gain voting rights and restructures influence inside the DAO according to the vote page.
But voting power is concentrated. Over 76% of voting tokens came from 10 wallets per the same tally.
Stakers get 2% APY if they participate in at least two votes during the lock. Existing locked holders keep voting uninterrupted per the proposal.
Big wallets get perks. A 50 million WLFI stake (about $5M) grants direct access to WLFI’s business development team and company executives. WLFI says this does not guarantee any partnership, only access as outlined. Leadership contacts are listed here on WLFI’s site.
The founders list includes Eric and Barron Trump, plus Zach and Alex Witkoff. Zach Witkoff is CEO per the WLFI Gold Paper.
Bank charter bid remains pending. WLFI applied in January to the OCC for a national trust bank charter tied to its stablecoin USD1 and is awaiting a decision. The stablecoin underpins WLFI’s DeFi plans and dollar‑aligned projects per the Gold Paper.
The roadmap extends beyond governance. WLFI is exploring asset tokenization in real estate and oil and gas. It is also weighing a public company to hold WLFI tokens per project materials.
Six on‑chain snapshot votes have been completed so far, from enabling token trading to expanding USD1’s reach. This latest vote narrows who gets a seat at the table going forward per the vote archive.
