WLFI\u2019s team has proposed burning up to 4.52 billion tokens and locking most of the remaining team and ecosystem allocation for 2\u20135 years, lifting the price about 7% to roughly $0.084 as traders bet on a cleaner supply curve.<\/p>\n

World Liberty Financial\u2019s team has unveiled a sweeping governance proposal that would permanently destroy up to 4.52 billion WLFI and lock most of the remaining team and ecosystem tokens for between two and five years, in an attempt to repair tokenomics after a volatile first year of trading. The plan, published on the project\u2019s governance forum and now circulating in the community, would apply to a pool of 6.228 billion currently locked WLFI, tightening supply just months after the Trump\u2011affiliated project navigated a $483 million token unlock that raised concerns about long\u2011term sell pressure.<\/p>\n
Under the proposal, the founding team commits to \u201cpermanently destroying up to 4.52 billion WLFI tokens\u201d from its locked allocation, with on\u2011chain burns executed over time once the measure passes and technical steps are complete. Of the remaining tokens, 90% would be subject to new vesting rules that lock them for between two and five years depending on category, while early investors\u2019 allocations would remain fully retained under their original terms but still subject to any existing lockups.<\/p>\n
In its governance post, the team describes the package as a way to \u201calign long\u2011term incentives and address concerns about supply overhang,\u201d framing the burn and extended vesting as textbook tokenomics repair rather than a cosmetic tweak. That language echoes community feedback and outside reporting from outlets such as CryptoSlate, which previously highlighted how concentrated unlocks and short\u2011term allocations had weighed on sentiment even as WLFI rolled out buyback\u2011and\u2011burn mechanics funded by protocol revenue.<\/p>\n

Previous governance votes show WLFI holders are willing to back aggressive lock\u2011up measures when they believe it supports token value. In March, token holders approved a rule requiring WLFI to be staked for 180 days to participate in governance, with voters who lock and vote at least twice eligible for roughly 2% annual yield; that measure passed with 99.12% support, though more than 76% of voting power came from just ten wallets.<\/p>\n
On the latest proposal, the team says the new burn and vesting framework is meant to complement the existing policy of directing protocol\u2011owned liquidity fees toward buybacks and ongoing burns, which already saw tens of millions of WLFI destroyed last year. Following publication of the new plan, WLFI\u2019s market price climbed around 7% to about $0.084, according to CoinMarketCap data, though the token remains well below its September 2025 all\u2011time high near $0.46 and continues to trade with high intraday volatility.<\/p>\n
In earlier crypto.news coverage of WLFI\u2019s governance\u2011staking rules, as well as articles on token unlocks and deflationary token models in other ecosystems, multi\u2011year vesting and targeted burns have been cast as a way to shift projects from reflexive sell pressure to higher\u2011beta bets on protocol growth, a trajectory this latest WLFI proposal is clearly trying to follow in this story, this story and this story.<\/p>\n
