World Liberty Financial Proposes WLFI Governance Staking With 180-Day Lock-Up and Tiered Nodes

On 26 February 2026, World Liberty Financial introduced a proposal to launch a WLFI Governance Staking System that links token-holder voting rights to staking with a minimum 180-day lock-up. The plan sets a square root formula for calculating voting power, introduces Node and Super Node tiers requiring 10 million and 50 million WLFI respectively, and ties USD1 stablecoin incentives to staking participation. If approved by token holders within a seven-day voting window, the system would roll out in three phases and redirect arbitrage opportunities toward long-term participants.
