Gate News message, April 16 — World Liberty Financial has proposed a governance restructuring that would impose multi-year lockups on 62.3 billion WLFI tokens, affecting holdings worth approximately $1.3 billion. The plan introduces fixed vesting schedules for tokens that previously had no defined unlock timeline.
Early supporters holding 17 billion tokens would face a two-year cliff period with no access, followed by a two-year linear vesting schedule, with full unlock expected by mid-2029. Founders and team members holding 45.2 billion tokens face stricter terms: a two-year cliff followed by a three-year vesting period, extending full access to around mid-2030. The proposal also includes an immediate burn of 4.5 billion tokens from the founder allocation, representing approximately 10% of that segment.
Token holders have a 7 to 10 day window to opt in to the new vesting framework. Those who decline will retain governance voting rights but face indefinite lockup with no defined liquidity mechanism. World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture linked to the Trump family, launched its token presale on September 1, 2025, with 20% of tokens initially unlocked. The 80% remaining supply is now subject to the proposed vesting schedule.
