Trump-backed World Liberty proposes governance staking overhaul to reward active participation
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) unveiled a proposal introducing tiered, time-locked staking to reshape voting rights and incentivize USD1 usage.
Trump-backed World Liberty has unveiled a governance overhaul that would use staking to reward active participation and reset its governance direction, according to the proposal published by WLFI and reported by multiple outlets [1][3].
The plan centers on a governance staking system with a 180-day lockup and explicit USD1 usage incentives, and WLFI also proposed a tiered staking model to determine voting rights and influence on protocol decisions [2][4].
Cointelegraph notes that USD1 is the fifth-largest stablecoin by market capitalization at roughly $4.7 billion, providing context for the proposal’s potential reach, while CryptoBriefing said the staking overhaul could enhance decentralized decision-making and align long-term incentives, potentially improving platform stability [2][1].
WLFI’s proposal seeks to change how voting power is allocated and to reward ongoing engagement; the measures are presented as a way to reset governance direction and strengthen incentive alignment pending community consideration [3][2].
