Proposal: Activate Staking Utility for Locked WLFI After Launch
Summary
This proposal invites the WLFI community to vote on enabling staking utility for WLFI tokens that remain locked after the token launch. It introduces a way to generate yield from currently idle assets — without altering the TGE timeline — and to extend the protocol’s governance framework in collaboration with the WLFI team.
Proposal Objectives
- Enable staking functionality for locked WLFI tokens (after launch)
- Reward long-term holders — including those not eligible for initial unlock
- Keep the current unlock schedule fully intact
- Allow the DAO to decide how, where, and when his locked tokens are deployed (3 CEX + 3 DEX platforms to diversify risk)
- Strengthen the partnership between WLFI leadership and community governance
- Ensure equal access to rewards for all holders — retail and institutional
Mechanics and WLFI Role
- The token launch and later unlock schedule go forward as planned by WLFI team
- This proposal activates only after launch and with full collaboration from the WLFI team
- WLFI maintains technical control and execution of staking mechanisms
- The DAO votes on the platforms and parameters to guide staking allocation
- Yield reports are published monthly by WLFI and reviewed by an elected 5-member oversight committee
This framework honors WLFI’s leadership while giving early supporters a meaningful and structured role — fostering trust, transparency, and mutual growth.
Why Now?
This moment represents a strategic shift from token launch to productive, purpose-driven ownership.
Rather than waiting passively for unlocks, WLFI holders could earn yield — and the protocol could demonstrate a next-level use case for token vesting strategies in DeFi, guided by a shared vision between the WLFI team and its community.
By adopting this model, WLFI positions itself as a pioneer — leading the way in combining fair governance, long-term incentives, and institutional-grade token utility.
This is a chance to set a precedent across Web3 for how locked supply can fuel ecosystem growth — safely, transparently, and collaboratively.
Governance & Oversight
- The WLFI team retains protocol-level infrastructure and execution oversight
- The DAO proposes and approves platform selection, staking duration, and guidelines
- A 5-member oversight committee, elected from the 85,000 early supporters, will ensure public-facing accountability
- As author of this proposal and a early supporter of WLFI, I humbly submit myself as a candidate to serve on this committee, with the goal of representing retail investors with fairness, loyalty, and transparency
Next Steps (If Proposal Approved)
- Initiate DAO voting process within 15–30 days after WLFI launch
- Community elects the 5-member oversight committee (on-chain election:1 wallet = 1 vote)
- Community elects the 6 staking/earn platforms (on-chain election:1 wallet = 1 vote)
- WLFI integrates staking on platforms approved by the DAO
- Yield generation begins and accumulates during the vesting period
- Rewards are distributed proportionally once locked tokens unlock —
Voting Options
- YES: Approve staking for locked tokens after launch, with WLFI leadership and DAO participation
- NO: Keep locked tokens inactive until the vesting schedule completes
Final Note
World Liberty Financial was built to lead — not to follow.
This proposal allows WLFI to demonstrate exactly that: not just as a financial protocol, but as a platform of innovation, fairness, and institutional-grade token utility.
This proposal doesn’t ask WLFI to give up control.
It invites WLFI to lead a new standard for productive token vesting.
One that benefits everyone — founders, partners, and every holder who believed from the beginning.
Let’s set that standard.
Let’s earn while we build.
Let’s unlock what’s next — together.

This proposal does not require WLFI to run its own validator system (like Proof of Stake).
