World Liberty has proposed converting 62.3 billion WLFI governance tokens from indefinite lockups into fixed vesting schedules, introducing new cliffs, a token burn requirement for insiders, and a holder vote to approve the changes.
Under the plan, World Liberty would apply a two-year cliff to all holders who opt into the proposal. Insiders would be required to permanently destroy 4.5 billion WLFI—equivalent to 10% of their 45,238,585,647 token allocation—upon acceptance.
The project said holders who decline the new terms would remain locked indefinitely under existing agreements.
For founders, team members, advisors, and partners, the proposal includes a two-year cliff followed by a three-year linear vest. Tokens would begin unlocking after year two and would reach full distribution by year five.
Approval would require a quorum of 1 billion WLFI tokens, a simple majority for passage, and a seven-day voting window.
Early supporters holding 17,043,666,558 WLFI would follow a separate schedule. They would face a two-year cliff, followed by a two-year linear vest, with full distribution by year four. World Liberty stated that this category would not burn any tokens under the revised structure.
World Liberty said it would open a 10-day acceptance window after deploying the new functionality. Participants must affirmatively opt in to activate the revised vesting schedule; those who do not respond would remain subject to indefinite lockups.
World Liberty launched WLFI in September 2025. The token is currently trading at $0.082, representing a 75.1% decline from its all-time high of $0.33, according to market data cited by the project.
The team linked the governance update to broader ecosystem expansion tied to USD1. USD1 is described as a stablecoin deployed across multiple blockchain networks, and the platform also supports lending and borrowing features within the WLFI interface.
The governance move follows a public dispute involving Tron founder Justin Sun. Sun alleged that the WLFI smart contract includes an undisclosed blacklisting function, which he said gives the team “unilateral power to freeze, restrict, and effectively confiscate the property rights of any token holder.”
Sun said he was “the first and single largest victim” of the feature and pointed to his wallet, which the project froze in September 2025 after he moved about $9 million in WLFI.
World Liberty responded by accusing Sun of “playing the victim while making baseless allegations to cover up his own misconduct,” and said it would address the matter in court.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
