Trump family backed crypto venture World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has introduced a governance staking proposal aimed at strengthening long-term participation while expanding the use of its stablecoin, USD1.
Governance Staking With 180-Day Lockup
Under the proposal, token holders would be required to lock their WLFI tokens for a minimum of 180 days to participate in governance voting. The initiative is designed to ensure that decision-making power remains with participants committed to the protocol’s long-term development rather than short-term speculators.
Stakers would be eligible for a 2% annual percentage rate (APR), provided they vote in at least two governance proposals during the lockup period. Voting weight would depend on both the number of tokens staked and the remaining duration of the lockup.
For the proposal to pass, at least one billion voting tokens must participate, with a majority required in favor. More than 27 billion WLFI tokens are currently in circulation.
USD1 Incentives and Stablecoin Conversion Access
The plan also includes new incentives to increase USD1 adoption. Stakers may receive additional benefits when depositing USD1 on WLFI Markets, including rewards through integrations with Dolomite.
Large token holders, categorized as “Nodes” and “Super Nodes,” would gain access to 1:1 stablecoin conversion services for assets such as USDC and Tether, alongside direct fiat off-ramps.
The broader stablecoin market exceeds $309 billion in capitalization. USDT leads with more than $183 billion and roughly 59% market dominance, followed by USDC at approximately $75 billion. USD1 ranks fifth globally, with a market capitalization of $4.7 billion.
