World Liberty Financial (WLFI) proposed a staking-based governance proposal that ties voting rights to a 180-day token lock and introduces tiered benefits linked to its USD1 stablecoin.

Why it matters:

Holders of unlocked WLFI who do not stake their tokens would lose the right to vote on governance proposals. Locked token holders remain eligible to vote.
Stakers earn a target APR of ~2% from the WLFI treasury, but only if they actively participate in votes.
The proposal aims to redirect arbitrage profits from institutional intermediaries to long-term ecosystem participants, increasing structural demand for USD1.

The details:

A “Node” tier would require staking 10 million WLFI. Nodes gain access to licensed market makers offering 1:1 USDT and USDC to USD1 over the counter (OTC) conversions, subject to KYC.
The first 1,000 Nodes would also receive additional governance token rewards tied to USD1 conversion volume.
A “Super Node” tier requires 50 million WLFI staked. Super Nodes receive guaranteed access to the WLFI team for partnership discussions and potential economic incentives.
Voting power is weighted by both stake size and lock duration, per the governance proposal.
The proposal requires a quorum of 1 billion eligible WLFI tokens and will be decided in a seven-day Snapshot vote.
WLFI is up 2.3% over the past 24 hours, per CoinGecko.

The big picture:

The proposal comes amid a broader market recovery, with WLFI’s price rise tracking the wider altcoin rebound.
Tiered staking models with OTC conversion access signal WLFI’s push to enhance USD1 adoption.
Governance quorum requirements of 1 billion tokens set a high bar for community participation.
