World Liberty Financial has put 4.52 billion WLFI tokens on the table for an immediate burn if a new unlock plan passes, a move tied to the founder, team, adviser and partner pool.

A Wider Supply Reset The governance page says the burn would happen as soon as the vote clears, and holders who do not accept the new terms would stay locked. Early supporters would keep their full allocation under the revised schedule, but their tokens would not start unlocking until year 2 after passage. Every advisor, institution, partner, founder, and team member locked token — all 45,238,585,647 WLFI — is assigned to a 2-year cliff with a 3-year linear vest upon opting in, and subject to a 10% burn upon doing so. Up to 4,523,858,565 WLFI permanently destroyed.

The plan also draws a line between user groups. Early supporters would get a four-year distribution path with no burn attached.

Justin Sun 👨🚀 🌞 (@justinsuntron) April 12, 2026 Governance Under Strain The proposal lands at a tense moment for the project. Wallets linked to WLFI reportedly used billions of tokens as collateral to borrow about $75 million in stablecoins, and the token later hit a new low. The governance page also shows that WLFI has already passed six proposals, with participation ranging from 2.7 billion to 11.1 billion WLFI, and says active voting has reached only about 23% of the locked supply affected by this plan.

It is also about control, timing and who gets to decide when the token starts moving. The proposal says the current setup leaves too much uncertainty around locked tokens, and argues that the network has grown enough to support a clearer schedule.
