World Liberty Financial launched its staking program on October 1, 2026. The initiative is supported by an initial rewards pool of $1,25 million in the project's native stablecoin, USD1. These funds are scheduled for distribution over a 180-day period, with the first deposit occurring on October 2.
To participate, users must stake unlocked WLFI tokens for a minimum of 180 days. The program requires a minimum stake of 0,01 WLFI per wallet, and each user is limited to a single staking position. Rewards are variable and depend on the total staked amount, pool size, and individual participation levels.
A key requirement for eligibility is active governance participation. Stakers must cast a direct vote at least once every 90 days. This mechanism aims to address voter apathy within the ecosystem. The program operates on the Ethereum network and applies exclusively to unlocked tokens.
The rewards pool is funded through the WLFI treasury, protocol-owned liquidity fees, and revenue from World Liberty Markets. The project may periodically replenish the pool. USD1, the stablecoin used for payouts, is backed by short-term Treasuries and cash equivalents.
