Key Takeaways:
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) submitted a governance proposal to lock 62.2 billion tokens for at least two years, a move designed to decrease long-term sell pressure and signal commitment from internal stakeholders.
The plan was detailed in an official governance proposal from the project's developers. If approved by token holders, it would impose strict vesting schedules on tokens held by the team, partners, and early supporters, effectively removing a significant portion of the supply from circulation for an extended period.
According to the proposal, 45.2 billion tokens held by the team and partners would be subject to a two-year lockup, followed by a three-year linear release. Participation in this plan requires the team to burn 10% of their holdings. A separate pool of 17 billion tokens from early supporters will undergo a two-year lockup and a subsequent two-year linear release.
The proposal aims to build investor confidence by ensuring that insiders and early backers are committed to the project's long-term success. By staggering the release of tokens over several years, the plan mitigates the risk of a large-scale sell-off that could negatively impact the token's price. The burn mechanism further reduces the total supply, a factor that could lead to a positive price revaluation if demand remains constant or increases.
