WLFI Puts 180-Day Staking Governance Overhaul to a Seven-Day Community Vote

The plan links voting rights to long-term staking to channel USD1 arbitrage value to committed holders.

Overview

  • Holders of unlocked WLFI would need to stake for at least 180 days to vote, while already locked balances keep voting rights.
  • Voting power would be calculated with a square‑root formula that weighs stake size and remaining lock duration to limit concentration.
  • Active participants who cast at least two votes during their lock period would target roughly 2% APR in treasury‑funded rewards, not tied to revenue.
  • A tiered structure sets Nodes at 10 million WLFI and Super Nodes at 50 million WLFI with licensed market maker access for 1:1 USD1 conversions and prioritized partnership engagement, and only stakers receive USD1 deposit incentives on WLFI Markets via Dolomite.
  • The proposal is live for a seven‑day community vote with a one‑billion eligible‑token quorum requirement and would roll out in phases if approved, with responses shaped by prior frustrations over prolonged token lock‑ups.
