World Liberty Financial Opens WLFI Token Unlock Activation for Early Supporters

World Liberty Financial has activated the unlock process for eligible WLFI holders, allowing early supporters to begin enrolling in the protocol’s newly approved vesting schedule for previously locked tokens.

The announcement was made May 12 through the project’s official X account, which stated that “$WLFI unlock schedules are LIVE,” directing eligible participants to con nect their wallet, sign agreements, and activate access to their remaining token allocation through the approved schedule.

The rollout follows the passage of a governance proposal earlier this month that restructured unlock mechanics for roughly 62 billion WLFI tokens, representing approximately 62% of the token’s total supply. The proposal came after months of debate surrounding indefinite token lockups and concerns from holders over access to purchased allocations.

Under the approved framework, public sale participants who purchased WLFI between October 2024 and March 2025 can now activate vesting for the remaining 80% of their token allocation. Those tokens will remain locked under a two-year cliff before transitioning into a two-year linear vesting period. The first 20% of purchased allocations became claimable in September 2025.

World Liberty Financial founders, team members, advisors, and partners are subject to a longer vesting schedule. Their allocations follow the same two-year cliff but unlock over three years instead of two. As part of the structure, insider allocations are also subject to a permanent 10% burn upon activation.

Activation is optional. Eligible holders must connect their original purchase wallet, review and sign a Token Unlock Agreement and Terms of Service, then confirm an onchain transaction to move tokens into a dedicated vesting contract. Holders who do not activate their schedule will keep tokens locked indefinitely while maintaining governance rights.

Onchain activity tied to the rollout began appearing this week, with wallets associated with the team transferring approximately 1 billion WLFI into the vesting contract, while 100 million tokens were burned as part of the insider allocation reduction mechanism. The remaining tokens entered the structured vesting schedule.

The unlock process applies only to original public sale participants using their original purchase wallets. According to project guidance, secondary market buyers and wallets that transferred beneficial ownership are not eligible to access the unlock portal.
