WLFI Community Votes on 100% Buyback-and-Burn Plan

WLFI holders just flexed their governance power—voting overwhelmingly to incinerate 100% of protocol revenue through a radical buyback-and-burn mechanism.

Tokenomics on Fire

The move torches traditional dividend models, redirecting every cent of generated fees toward permanent supply reduction. No more treasury hoarding—just pure, deflationary pressure.

Market Mechanics Unleashed

This isn't just another token burn gimmick. It's a full-throttle commitment to scarcity, executed automatically through smart contracts. The community's vote signals brutal efficiency over bureaucratic allocation—because who needs committees when code can handle distribution?

Finance's Ironic Twist

Wall Street still debates stock buybacks while crypto projects casually deploy hyper-deflationary engines. Maybe traditional finance could learn a thing or two—if they could look up from their spreadsheet macros.

One thing's clear: WLFI isn't playing the slow game. They're burning the boats—and the tokens.

Full Allocation Toward Deflation

At the heart of the proposal is the decision to route the entire stream of POL fees toward buybacks. WLFI plans to take all the fees earned from its liquidity positions, use them to buy WLFI tokens from the open market, and then burn those tokens. 

Proposal is LIVE: route 100% of WLFI Treasury liquidity fees to market-buy $WLFI and permanently burn it (multi-chain).
• Excludes partner LP/third-party fees
• Executed manually with on-chain proof
• Objective: reduce circulating supply & reward long-term holders 🦅

Vote…

By putting the entire Treasury fees into this, the idea is to have a stronger impact on reducing supply instead of dividing the funds between operations and burns.

Backers believe this approach directly ties the network’s activity to token scarcity. As WLFI usage and trading volumes increase, so do liquidity fees — and in turn, the number of tokens permanently removed. Proponents also say the measure rewards committed holders, since reducing supply over time effectively increases their relative stake.

Alternatives and Community Sentiment

Before the proposal went live, WLFI also looked at other options. One was to leave the fees in the Treasury for operations, and another was to split them between the Treasury and Burns. But the wider community leaned toward a stronger approach, putting the entire share of Treasury liquidity fees into buybacks and burns to create maximum impact.

The Vote and What’s Next

Token holders are being asked to choose between three options:

• FOR — Use 100% of WLFI Treasury POL fees for buyback-and-burn
• AGAINST — Keep fees in the Treasury
• ABSTAIN — No preference

If approved, the initiative will become the foundation of an ongoing deflationary strategy. WLFI has also suggested that the program could expand to cover additional revenue streams in the future, steadily increasing the scale of buybacks and burns as the ecosystem grows.

The result of the vote will decide if WLFI goes all-in on a 100% deflationary model, or if it keeps Treasury revenue aside for operations and growth.
