WLFI This isn’t “giving rewards” so much as re-tethering the unlocked chips back to governance.
On September 22, PANews reported that World Liberty Financial has launched a proposal vote for its “Start WLFI Governance Participation Incentive Plan,” aiming to roll out the related incentive plan by October 1, 2026. The proposal states that all WLFI holders will continue to retain their governance voting rights. Holders whose WLFI has been unlocked may lock their tokens for at least 180 days and directly participate in governance voting at least once every 90 days to receive dynamically calculated rewards. Delegated voting does not count toward the participation requirement.
From a market perspective, the immediate effect of this design is to redirect some already-unlocked liquidity back toward locking and voting. In the short term, it may reduce circulating sell pressure and boost the rate of token-holder participation. However, the reward pool funding could come from the WLF treasury, fees from World Liberty Markets, and other ecosystem and marketing incentives, and it is planned to be topped up every two weeks. Going forward, it’s also worth watching whether the size of the rewards might create new release pressure. If the proposal is approved, it will replace the ecosystem proposal approved earlier on March 12, 2026. Are you more focused on the proposal’s approval rate, or on the amount of participation in token locking?
