The World Liberty Financial (WLFI) ecosystem is entering a new phase after an overwhelming community vote approved a proposal to make the $WLFI token tradable.
The vote closed on July 16, 2025, with a staggering 99.94% in favor—totaling over 11.1 billion votes. The move signals a shift from a closed protocol model to a more open, community-driven structure.
The main objective behind the proposal is to allow broader access to WLFI governance, enabling token holders to engage in peer-to-peer transactions and secondary market trading. The transition also paves the way for increased token utility, broader protocol participation, and a realignment of long-term incentives with protocol adoption.
A key component of the plan involves unlocking tokens for early supporters. While a portion of these tokens will become tradable immediately, the remaining allocations will require a second vote to finalize their release schedule. Meanwhile, tokens held by founders, advisors, and the core team will remain locked under a longer-term vesting plan—reinforcing their long-term commitment to the protocol’s success.
The proposal comes after a year of ecosystem growth, product rollouts, and strong community engagement. With demand building, the WLFI team believes the time is right to open trading access and scale community governance. Approved next steps include enabling tradability, initiating KYC rescreening, launching token distribution to early supporters, and beginning the second phase of on-chain governance.
This marks a critical turning point for WLFI as it evolves into a fully community-participatory protocol. As token trading goes live, WLFI aims to expand its ecosystem through new partnerships, integrations, and increased user activity in both governance and utility.
