World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has introduced a governance proposal aimed at unlocking 62.28 billion WLFI tokens through new multiyear vesting schedules, addressing ongoing criticisms from early investors regarding liquidity and governance. Under the proposed plan, early supporters' tokens would face a two-year cliff followed by a two-year linear vest, while allocations for founders, team members, advisers, and partners would have a two-year cliff and a three-year linear vest if they opt into the new terms. Additionally, the proposal includes a potential burn of up to 4.52 billion WLFI tokens, or 10% of certain allocations, to further manage token supply. This initiative comes in response to mounting pressure from investors, including threats of legal action over the prolonged lockup periods. The platform has also faced scrutiny from industry figures like Tron founder Justin Sun, who criticized WLFI for a lack of transparency and alleged governance issues. WLFI's recent market performance has been troubling, with the token hitting an all-time low after significant borrowing activity linked to its treasury.
