WLFI token unlock proposal wins near-unanimous vote

World Liberty Financial, the decentralised finance project linked to the Donald Trump family, has secured overwhelming approval for a governance proposal restructuring the vesting schedule of its WLFI token supply.

The proposal passed with 99.9% support after receiving approximately 11.2 billion WLFI votes in favour compared with just 11.2 million votes against.

The vote approved the restructuring of around 62.28 billion WLFI tokens, including 17.04 billion tokens held by early backers and 45.23 billion tokens allocated to founders, advisors and strategic partners.

A key element of the proposal involves permanently burning roughly 10% of the insider-held token allocation, removing around 4.52 billion WLFI tokens from circulation.

The remaining founder, advisor and partner allocations, estimated at around 40.7 billion WLFI, will remain locked for two years before gradually unlocking over a five-year vesting period.

World Liberty Financial said the original token lock-up structure was designed for the project’s early development phase but argued the ecosystem has since matured significantly.

The project cited the growth of its decentralised finance infrastructure, institutional partnerships and on-chain proof-of-reserve systems as reasons supporting the revised governance structure.

Under the updated plan, early community supporters will retain their existing token allocations while remaining subject to a separate four-year distribution schedule.
