[Proposal] 16-Year Vesting Model – Streaming with Bitcoin’s Halving Rhythm 🟠

We propose that the remaining 20 billion $WLFI from the Pre-sale be distributed through a 16-year vesting model, starting on January 3rd, 2026. Vesting will take place as continuous real-time streaming, where tokens are gradually accrued and can be claimed by each wallet according to predefined rules.

Why this model?

•	**Predictability:** every second, a small portion of the locked tokens is released, fully transparent on-chain.

•	**Stability:** reduces the risk of sudden large “token dumps” and ensures smoother circulation.

•	**Symbolism:** the chosen start date is deliberate – exactly **17 years after Bitcoin’s launch**. WLFI builds on the legacy of digital gold while adding what the world now requires: *transparency and accountability*.

•	**Long-term perspective:** this model spans an entire generation. WLFI is not designed as a short-term speculative tool but as a foundation for a new financial system.

How does it work?

The model follows Bitcoin’s well-known four-year halving cycle:

•	**2026–2030:** 2.67 billion WLFI per year (\~13.3% of remaining supply/year)

•	**2030–2034:** 1.33 billion WLFI per year (\~6.7%/year)

•	**2034–2038:** 0.67 billion WLFI per year (\~3.3%/year)

•	**2038–2042:** 0.33 billion WLFI per year (\~1.7%/year)

In total, the full amount of 20 billion WLFI will be streamed into circulation during the period 2026–2042.

Summary

This vesting model is technically robust, market-stabilizing, and symbolically powerful. We propose that it be adopted as the long-term plan for distributing the remaining Pre-sale tokens into circulation.

Technical Commentary on Vesting Proposal

For those who wish to dive deeper into the mechanics of the proposed vesting model, here is a breakdown of how the 20 billion WLFI (80% of the original 25 billion Pre-sale allocation) will be streamed into circulation between 2026 and 2042.

Core Mechanism

•	Vesting is implemented as **continuous streaming**. Each wallet that participated in the Pre-sale accrues tokens in real time according to its share of the allocation.

•	Tokens can be claimed periodically (e.g., once per 24 hours or above a minimum threshold) to avoid unnecessary transaction costs.

•	Circulating supply will be updated based on the vested-to-date amount, which can be tracked transparently on-chain.

Halving-Based Structure

The release rate is tied to Bitcoin’s four-year halving rhythm:

•	**Epoch 1 (2026–2030):** 2.67 billion WLFI per year (\~13.3% of the vesting pool/year)

•	**Epoch 2 (2030–2034):** 1.33 billion WLFI per year (\~6.7%/year)

•	**Epoch 3 (2034–2038):** 0.67 billion WLFI per year (\~3.3%/year)

•	**Epoch 4 (2038–2042):** 0.33 billion WLFI per year (\~1.7%/year)

This adds up to the full 20 billion WLFI over 16 years.

Distribution in Practice

•	**Monthly average during Epoch 1:** \~222 million WLFI/month

•	**Daily average during Epoch 1:** \~7.3 million WLFI/day

•	The rate halves with each new epoch, following the same rhythm as Bitcoin’s issuance.

Supply Transparency

•	Each participant’s allocation is streamed proportionally. For example:

•	A wallet with **20,000 WLFI** allocated will receive \~7.2 WLFI per day during Epoch 1.

•	A wallet with **1,000,000 WLFI** allocated will receive \~359 WLFI per day during Epoch 1.

•	Indexers or official dashboards can present **daily or weekly circulating supply figures**, while CMC/CG integrations can use a once-per-day update feed for simplicity.

Safeguards and Flexibility

•	Minimum claim intervals or thresholds prevent inefficient micro-claims.

•	Governance may retain a safeguard mechanism (such as a global rate multiplier) that can slow or pause the stream in the event of extreme market disruption. Any such adjustment must be transparent and verifiable on-chain.

This technical approach ensures that vesting is both predictable and verifiable, while aligning WLFI with a halving-based monetary rhythm that has already proven resilient in Bitcoin’s history.

Detailed Vesting Schedule (Year by Year)

Total vesting pool: 20,000,000,000 WLFI

Epoch 1: 2026–2030 (rate = 2.67B WLFI/year)

•	2026: 2,666,666,667 WLFI (\~13.3% of pool)

•	2027: 2,666,666,667 WLFI

•	2028: 2,666,666,667 WLFI

•	2029: 2,666,666,667 WLFI

Subtotal Epoch 1: 10,666,666,667 WLFI (~53.3%)

Epoch 2: 2030–2034 (rate = 1.33B WLFI/year)

•	2030: 1,333,333,333 WLFI (\~6.7% of pool)

•	2031: 1,333,333,333 WLFI

•	2032: 1,333,333,333 WLFI

•	2033: 1,333,333,333 WLFI

Subtotal Epoch 2: 5,333,333,333 WLFI (~26.7%)

Epoch 3: 2034–2038 (rate = 0.67B WLFI/year)

•	2034: 666,666,667 WLFI (\~3.3% of pool)

•	2035: 666,666,667 WLFI

•	2036: 666,666,667 WLFI

•	2037: 666,666,667 WLFI

Subtotal Epoch 3: 2,666,666,667 WLFI (~13.3%)

Epoch 4: 2038–2042 (rate = 0.33B WLFI/year)

•	2038: 333,333,333 WLFI (\~1.7% of pool)

•	2039: 333,333,333 WLFI

•	2040: 333,333,333 WLFI

•	2041: 333,333,333 WLFI

Subtotal Epoch 4: 1,333,333,333 WLFI (~6.7%)

Grand Total (2026–2042)

•	**20,000,000,000 WLFI** released

•	**100% of vesting pool distributed**

This table shows the precise yearly streaming amounts and their share of the total pool. The model ensures a front-loaded but steadily declining release, fully aligned with Bitcoin’s halving rhythm.

WLFI is the Golden Bridge – the path from the central banks’ machinery of debt to a system built on responsibility and freedom. The Golden Bridge symbolizes both value and capitulation: the old must cross over to make room for the new.

Starting vesting on January 3rd, 2026 – 17 years after Bitcoin – is intentional. 17 stands for endurance and victory. WLFI is meant to be the light that leads across the Golden Bridge, into a time where transparency disarms corruption and freedom becomes everyone’s right.

I am not an expert, just sharing my personal view on the plan presented by TT1X.

The idea of a gradual release instead of large unlocks is positive, but the plan feels extremely long-term. In the crypto space, 17 years is practically a lifetime, and it’s impossible to know how the market will look that far ahead. In addition, the distribution seems unbalanced, since more than half of the tokens would enter circulation within the first four years – a more balanced flow would be healthier.

I would also like to highlight the difference with Bitcoin’s “halving.” In Bitcoin, the halving creates scarcity by reducing supply. Here, on the contrary, we are talking about the gradual release of more tokens into the market, so the comparison might be misleading.

Based on these points, I personally would not vote in favor of the proposal in its current form, because I see more risks than benefits. With improvements toward a fairer distribution and clear mechanisms to support demand, it could become more positive for all holders.

Finally, it would be helpful if someone more specialized and knowledgeable from the team could comment on whether such a plan is truly feasible or appropriate in practice.
