WLFI Proposes Aggressive Token Burn and Lock-Up Measures to Repair Tokenomics

WLFI, a token associated with World Liberty Financial, is proposing a significant change to its tokenomics. The team has submitted a governance proposal that would permanently destroy up to 4.52 billion tokens and lock most of the remaining team and ecosystem allocation for between two and five years.

According to the proposal, the founding team commits to destroying up to 4.52 billion tokens from its locked allocation, with on-chain burns executed over time once the measure passes and technical steps are complete. Of the remaining tokens, 90% would be subject to new vesting rules that lock them for between two and five years depending on category.

The team aims to address concerns about supply overhang and align long-term incentives. This move echoes community feedback and previous reporting from CryptoSlate, which highlighted how concentrated unlocks and short-term allocations had weighed on sentiment even as WLFI rolled out buyback-and-burn mechanics funded by protocol revenue.
