World Liberty Ties Governance and Rewards to Long-Term Token Staking
World Liberty's new governance proposal mandates that holders of unlocked WLFI tokens stake their holdings for at least six months to participate in protocol voting. This MOVE shifts governance influence from mere token ownership to long-term capital commitment, aiming to stabilize the token's price by reducing liquid supply.
The system rewards stakers with 2% annual yields in WLFI for active participation, including at least two votes during the lockup period. Large holders gain incremental voting weight, preventing dominance while recognizing both stake size and commitment duration. Earlier voting caps are replaced by a structured weighting model to ensure controlled influence growth.
A phased rollout allows users to adapt to the new framework, which ties token economics directly to platform governance—a deliberate strategy to align incentives with sustainable growth.
