World Liberty Financial Proposes 180-Day WLFI Staking for Voting

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has proposed a new governance model requiring holders to stake their unlocked tokens for a minimum of 180 days to participate in voting. The system aims to encourage long-term holding and deeper community involvement. Locked token holders can vote without staking. Voting power is calculated using a square-root model based on stake size and remaining lock-up time to prevent dominance by large holders. Participants in at least two votes during the lock period receive a 2% annualized reward from the treasury. The proposal also introduces tiered roles: "Nodes" (staking ~$1M worth of WLFI) gain access to licensed market makers, while "Super Nodes" (staking over 50M WLFI) receive additional partnership opportunities and potential economic incentives.
