World Liberty signals phased WLFI unlock vote after early holder backlash

World Liberty said its WLFI unlock proposal will go through community input before a formal vote, outlining a phased vesting plan rather than a full token release.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, has announced plans to introduce a governance proposal next week aimed at establishing a phased unlock schedule for tokens held by early retail participants. The proposal will first be opened for community discussion before moving to a formal vote, and is expected to outline a structured, long-term vesting approach rather than an immediate full unlock. Currently, WLFI tokens remain largely non-transferable unless approved through governance, with data indicating that approximately 24.67% of the total 100 billion supply is in circulation, while the majority remains locked or pending future decisions. This upcoming proposal could play a key role in determining when early participants gain access to liquidity, especially as some holders have expressed concerns over extended lock-up periods. The development also follows a previous governance decision introducing a six-month lock-up rule for certain transfers, highlighting the project’s ongoing efforts to refine its token framework.
