WLFI Proposal’s Voting is Open for 7 Days on Snapshot
The official announcement came directly from the WLFI team on March 6, 2026. Token holders have 7 days to connect their wallets and vote via the official website. The proposal was originally posted on the project’s governance forum on February 25-26, and needs a quorum of 1 billion eligible WLFI tokens to pass.
Under the “WLFI Governance Staking System,” any holder of unlocked WLFI tokens must stake them for a minimum of 180 days to achieve voting rights.
Already-locked tokens retain their existing rights without additional staking. Voting power is calculated using both the staked amount and the remaining lock-up duration.
Not all votes are created equal, and the World Liberty Financial team has designed its governance system to reflect that reality. Voting power under the new framework is calculated using both the amount staked and the remaining lock-up duration, with square-root weighting applied specifically to prevent excessive concentration among the largest holders.
This structure ensures that long-term commitment carries weight, but no single player can dominate simply by writing a bigger check.
Active stakers who participate in at least two governance votes during any 180-day period will earn a base reward targeting approximately 2% APR, paid directly from the WLFI treasury.
The mechanism is designed to encourage consistent engagement rather than one-off appearances.
The proposal also introduces two-tiered “Node” statuses for committed participants. Staking 10 million WLFI, which amounts to roughly $1 million at current prices, grants “Node” status.
This tier provides access to licensed market makers for 1:1 over-the-counter conversions of USDT or USDC into the project’s USD1 stablecoin, though the service remains subject to Know Your Customer requirements.
For those willing to go further, staking 50 million WLFI qualifies holders as “Super Nodes.” This upper tier comes with direct access to the WLFI team for partnership discussions and opens the door to additional economic incentives.
