World Liberty Financial Proposes Staking Governance For WLFI Holders Plan

TLDR

• WLFI holders must stake unlocked tokens for 180 days to vote
• Active voters can earn about 2% annual rewards from treasury
• Node tier starts at 10 million WLFI with stablecoin conversion access
• Proposal requires 1 billion eligible tokens to reach quorum

World Liberty Financial has proposed a new staking-focused governance system for WLFI holders. The plan would require users to stake unlocked tokens to gain voting rights. It also introduces rewards and tiered benefits for larger participants. The proposal was published on the project’s governance forum on February 26.

The system aims to link governance power with long-term token commitment. It also seeks to redirect certain market benefits toward active community members. A seven-day vote will decide whether the proposal moves forward.

180 Day Staking Requirement for Voting

Under the proposal, holders of unlocked WLFI must stake tokens for at least 180 days to vote. Users with already locked tokens can continue voting without additional staking. The change would apply only to unlocked balances.

Voting power would depend on both the amount staked and the remaining lock period. The model uses a square root formula. This method reduces the influence of the largest holders. It also gives weight to longer commitments.

The proposal sets a quorum of one billion eligible WLFI tokens. A simple majority would be required for approval. The vote would take place on a snapshot platform after the forum phase ends.

Rewards for Active Governance Participation

The plan introduces a base reward for users who participate in governance. Stakers who cast at least two votes during the lock period would qualify. The target yield is about 2% annually.

Rewards would come from the WLFI treasury. The team described the incentive as a way to deepen community participation. The proposal states it aims to redirect financial value toward long-term holders.

World Liberty Financial said the changes mark a major step in the evolution of WLFI. The project also tied the governance model to its USD1 stablecoin ecosystem. USD1 recently experienced brief volatility and traded near $0.99707 earlier this week.

Node and Super Node Tier Structure

The proposal creates a tiered system based on staking size. Users who stake at least 10 million WLFI would qualify as Nodes. At current prices, this amount is valued at about $1 million.

Node participants would gain access to licensed market makers. These providers would support 1:1 conversions of USDT and USDC into USD1. They would also enable USD1 redemptions into US dollars.

Users who stake 50 million WLFI would become Super Nodes. These participants would receive priority access to partnership discussions. Any commercial agreement would still require separate review.

The team stated that the Node structure would redirect arbitrage value. It estimates that recent USD1 mint and sell cycles generated about 15 basis points per cycle. The plan would shift part of that value to committed token holders.
