World Liberty Financial (WLFI) Shifts to Staking-Based Governance Model Ahead of Stablecoin Launch
World Liberty Financial's WLFI token is undergoing a significant governance overhaul, transitioning from a basic governance token to an access asset tied to long-term staking commitments. The new model mandates a 180-day lock-up period for voting rights, aiming to stabilize the ecosystem before its USD1 stablecoin rollout.
The protocol introduces a square root weighting system to curb whale dominance while offering tiered privileges for larger stakers. Active participants voting at least twice during the lock period stand to earn a 2% annualized yield, incentivizing sustained engagement over speculative trading.
