Trump-Linked WLFI Approves $5 Million 'Super Node' Access in Governance Overhaul

The near-unanimous vote concentrated power in a few wallets, intensifying scrutiny of its bank-charter push.

Overview

  • Token holders approved a staking-based model requiring a 180-day lock to vote, with Node (10 million WLFI) and Super Node (50 million WLFI, about $5 million) tiers.
  • Super Nodes receive guaranteed meetings with WLFI’s team for partnership discussions, which the spokesman says means business-development executives and not specific founders and does not ensure a deal.
  • The measure passed with 99.12% support and roughly 2.7 billion WLFI voting, though more than 76% of voting power came from ten wallets.
  • Active stakers can earn roughly 2% annually if they participate in at least two votes, and the rollout is planned in phases that include USD1 distribution features and OTC conversion for larger participants.
  • The overhaul coincides with WLFI’s bid for an OCC national trust bank charter and renewed scrutiny of monetized access and reported revenue flows to the Trump family.
