Trump-Linked DeFi Token WLFI Thwarts $24.6B Hack Attempts via On-Chain Blacklisting

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi token backed by the TRUMP family, successfully defended against two hacking attempts targeting its 24.6 billion token supply. The attacks, occurring shortly after WLFI's September 1 launch, were mitigated through immediate on-chain blacklisting of compromised wallets.

The token debuted with 20% of its 100 billion total supply unlocked, reaching an initial high of $0.30 before settling at $0.18. Derivatives markets showed strong interest, with WLFI futures open interest approaching $950 million pre-launch.

Project developers emphasized the exploits resulted from user security failures rather than protocol vulnerabilities. The swift blacklist response preserved the integrity of WLFI's lockbox system, demonstrating proactive security measures in the DeFi space.
