WLFI has introduced a new governance proposal that would place 62.2 billion tokens under long-term lockup schedules, while using differentiated vesting terms to align token holders with the project’s long-range governance goals. The plan divides the tokens into separate groups based on holder category.
Main Token Lockup Structure
Under the proposal, 45.2 billion tokens held by advisors, institutions, partners, founders, and team members would be subject to a two-year lockup followed by three years of linear vesting. Participants who choose to opt into this structure would also need to burn 10% of their tokens. Based on the figures outlined in the proposal, that could result in a permanent burn of around 4.5 billion tokens.
Another 17 billion tokens held by early supporters would follow a separate two-year lockup plus two years of linear vesting. Unlike the first group, these holders would not face any burn requirement. This creates a split framework in which WLFI applies different obligations and incentives depending on the holder’s role in the project.
Non-Participants Would Remain Locked Indefinitely
A key detail in the proposal is that tokens tied to holders who do not accept the terms would remain locked indefinitely. That makes the plan more than a simple vesting update: it effectively asks token holders to choose between a structured long-term release schedule with conditions, or continued illiquidity.
WLFI described the initiative as an important step toward stronger long-term governance alignment in DeFi. Based on the proposal’s current design, the project appears to be aiming to reduce short-term sell pressure, reinforce commitment from core stakeholders, and better match token unlocks with protocol development over time. For now, the available information centers on the proposal itself, while the next focus will be on community governance and whether the plan is ultimately approved and implemented.
