Token unlock proposal is now live for vote. 
This is one of the most significant governance proposals in WLFI history. Here’s what’s at stake.
On paper, the vote is going well. As of Wednesday, 99.95% of cast votes supported the proposal, and the required quorum of 1 billion WLFI tokens had already been cleared, with 6 billion tokens in favor and just 3.2 million against.
But those numbers don’t capture the full picture. Criticism has been loud on X, where replies to World Liberty’s announcement were largely negative.
The voting structure itself drew sharp criticism — anyone who does not cast a vote risks having their tokens locked up with no end date. That mechanic has been widely called coercive.
Tron founder Justin Sun, who holds a significant amount of WLFI, called it one of the “most absurd” proposals he had ever come across.
World Liberty Defends The StructureThe team behind World Liberty Financial said the vesting design was built to create what they described as a “more clear, bounded picture of governance preferences.” The goal, they said, was to keep tokens in the hands of people who are genuinely committed to the project’s future.
The proposal was first submitted to the governance community on April 15 before going live for voting this week. World Liberty Financial called it “one of the most significant governance proposals in WLFI history.”
