Summary
This proposal is presented to solicit community input and formally initiate the tradability of the token. This would mark a major milestone in the development of the World Liberty Financial ecosystem and opens the door for broader community participation, access, and protocol development.
⸻
Proposal Objectives
• Make $WLFI transferable, thereby enabling broader community access to governance participation, whether through peer to peer transactions or secondary markets
• Transition the WLFI ecosystem from closed to open participation
• Enable greater token utility access
• Begin the next phase of community ownership and engagement
• Align long-term token incentives with protocol adoption and success
⸻
Early Supporter Unlocking
• A portion of WLFI supply was sold to early supporters
• A portion of these tokens will be eligible to be unlocked upon launch of tradability
• The remainder of the tokens will be subject to a second vote by the community to determine the unlock and release schedule
• Founders, team, and advisor tokens will not be unlocked initially and will be subject to a longer unlock schedule than early supporters to demonstrate long-term commitment and alignment with the success of the protocol
• Timing and any eligibility requirements for unlock to be determined subsequently.
⸻
Why Now?
Over the last year, WLFI has made significant progress across product development, ecosystem partnerships, and brand awareness. With strong demand from community members and partners, many community members have said that the timing is right to make WLFI tradable and initiate this next chapter in our collective journey.
⸻
Governance & Community Role
Following the vote to make the token tradable, WLFI’s governance framework will enable more token holders to participate directly in protocol decisions. This includes voting on emissions, ecosystem incentives, and future treasury actions. This proposal is the first step in handing greater influence to the community.
⸻
Next Steps (If Approved)
• Execute and enable transferability
• Initiate distribution for eligible early supporters
• Begin community governance with a second vote on remaining unlocks
• Continue ecosystem expansion and partner integrations
⸻
Voting Options
• YES: Proceed with WLFI tradability
• NO: Maintain current token non-transferability and closed network status
⸻
Final Note
This is a defining moment for World Liberty Financial. The foundation has been laid, the community is growing, and we’re ready to move forward. Launching WLFI as a tradable token brings us one step closer to building a more open, transparent, and powerful financial system. Let’s build it together.
