World Liberty Financial Proposes 6-Month Token Lock for Governance With USD1-Linked Node Perks

The plan seeks to redirect stablecoin arbitrage to committed holders, with a community vote pending without a set date.

Overview

  • Unlocked WLFI holders would need to stake for 180 days to gain voting rights, with voting power calculated by a square‑root formula that factors stake size and remaining lock time.
  • Active participants who vote at least twice during their lock period would be eligible for roughly 2% annual rewards paid from the WLFI treasury.
  • The “Node” tier set at 10 million WLFI would provide access to licensed market makers for subsidized 1:1 USD1 conversions, redirecting an estimated 10–15 basis points per cycle in arbitrage to participants.
  • The “Super Node” tier at 50 million WLFI would add guaranteed access to the team for partnership discussions and potential incentives subject to commercial agreements.
  • The proposal sets a quorum of 1 billion eligible tokens and a simple majority requirement, with recent reports indicating no voting window has been scheduled as USD1 supply reaches about $4.7 billion.
