### Summary

This proposal introduces a **12-month linear vesting** schedule for the remaining early investor allocation. This change will extend the total vesting timeline to more than 2 years after the initial pre-sale purchase.

To mitigate potential sell pressure, the recently approved **Buyback & Burn program** , along with the new **collateral utility for locked WLFI** , will support long-term price stability and ecosystem growth.

### Motivation

- **Predictability** : Current unlocks lack transparency. A fixed 12-month linear vesting provides clarity for the community.

- **Reduced sell pressure** : Gradual release instead of large unlock events.

- **Collateral utility** : Locked WLFI gain immediate usefulness as productive assets in DeFi.

- **Balance** : Buyback & Burn offsets supply increases while collateralization encourages holding.

### Specification

1. **Vesting**

2. **Collateral Utility**

### Benefits

- Predictable and fair vesting schedule.

- Stronger alignment of long-term holders.

- Increased token utility: WLFI becomes productive capital.

- Combined with Buyback & Burn, ecosystem balances unlocks with deflationary mechanics.

### Voting Options

- **FOR** : Implement 12-month linear vesting + enable locked WLFI as collateral (70% LTV).

- **AGAINST** : Maintain current vesting structure and no collateral utility.

- **ABSTAIN** : No preference.
