WLFI has proposed a governance staking system, requiring tokens to be staked for at least 180 days before voting.

The WLFI team has released a proposal for a governance staking system. This proposal requires holders of unlocked WLFI tokens to stake them to participate in governance voting. The minimum lock-up period is 180 days. Governance weights use a square root weighted formula, and active stakers participating in governance can receive approximately 2% annualized WLFI staking rewards. The proposal establishes a three-tier structure: basic stakers receive governance voting rights and USD1 deposit incentives; node tiers require staking at least 10 million WLFI (approximately $1 million USD) and gain OTC conversion rights through third-party market makers to exchange USDT, USDC, etc., for USD1 at a 1:1 parity rate. The first 1000 nodes also receive additional rewards based on conversion volume; super node tiers require staking at least 50 million WLFI (approximately $5 million USD) and, in addition to enjoying all node rights, receive priority access to direct collaboration with the WLFI team and potential economic incentives. The proposal points out that during the previous USD1 expansion phase, market makers profited approximately 15 basis points through the minting and selling cycle, and WLFI also paid millions of dollars in subsidies to facilitate redemptions. This proposal aims to redirect this value from a few intermediaries back to long-term ecosystem participants. The voting period for the proposal is 7 days, and the threshold for approval is 1 billion WLFI voting tokens.
