World Liberty Financial is currently conducting a vote on a proposal that could significantly alter the governance rights associated with WLFI tokens. According to NS3.AI, the proposal suggests that approximately 20% of WLFI tokens, which are currently unlocked, would lose their governance rights unless the holders choose to stake them. Staking these tokens would require locking them for a minimum of 180 days, offering a 2% annual yield in WLFI as an incentive.
The outcome of this vote could also influence the timeline for unlocking the remaining 80% of the token supply. The voting period is set from March 5 to March 13. As of the weekend, participation in the vote was low, with only about 1% of the roughly 100 billion token supply involved. Despite the low turnout, there is overwhelming support for the proposal among those who have voted, with over 99% in favor.
