WLFI Token Approved for Trading After 99.94% Community Vote

The WLFI token has been approved for trading following a community vote, marking a significant shift in the governance and accessibility of the token. The proposal, submitted by the WLFI team, received overwhelming support from the community, with 99.94% of token holders voting in favor of making the tokens tradable through peer-to-peer transactions and secondary markets. This decision is part of a broader strategy to transition from a closed network to one that allows for open participation, enabling more token holders to directly influence protocol decisions, including voting on emissions, ecosystem incentives, and future treasury actions.

The token unlock will occur in stages, with the initial unlock allowing only a portion of the tokens sold to early supporters to be traded. The remainder of the tokens will be subject to a second community vote to determine the unlock and release schedule. Founders, team, and adviser tokens will not be unlocked immediately and will follow a longer schedule, the details of which are yet to be determined. This phased approach aims to avoid market disruptions and ensure a balanced release, while keeping governance decentralized.

With the vote passed, the WLFI token team is now moving forward with the next steps, including KYC checks for early holders through Sumsub, an identity verification provider. Eligible wallets will soon receive tokens based on prior commitments. Additionally, token holders will be able to vote on important governance decisions regarding emissions, incentive structures, and treasury policies. This shift toward decentralized governance is expected to deepen community involvement in the protocol’s future decisions.

To ensure the token’s compliance with regulatory standards, the team has partnered with TRM Labs, a blockchain analytics company that will monitor transaction activity for traceability and security. This move highlights the project’s commitment to regulatory compliance while enabling decentralized decision-making. The transition in governance and token tradability marks the beginning of a new phase for World Liberty Financial, positioning the WLFI token as a more decentralized asset. The change is seen as a step toward a more open and democratic financial system. With the increased focus on community voting and governance, the WLFI token is now poised to benefit from greater market participation and transparency.
