On the evening of April 15, the recent Tromp family encryption project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), which is in the throes of public opinion, published a community proposal on “early supporters, founders, teams, partners to unlock the WLFI share”. It's not too surprising that this has again made WLFI the focus of public opinion。

Public information history and early unlocking

THE BASIC INFORMATION ON WLFI IS NO LONGER NECESSARY, AND HERE IS A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF THE PROJECT AND ITS EARLY RELEASE。

THE TOTAL SUPPLY OF WLFI WAS 100 BILLION, AND TWO ROUNDS OF PRE-SALES WERE OPENED TO THE PUBLIC。

• THE FIRST ROUND OF PRE-SOLD WAS OPENED IN OCTOBER 2024 AT A PRICE OF $0.015 PER ITEM FOR A TOTAL OF 20 BILLION (20 PER CENT OF THE TOTAL SUPPLY). WLFI ' S FIRST ROUND OF PRE-SALE WAS SLOW BECAUSE THE MARKET WAS FULL OF MANY FUDS, BUT SINCE TRUMP ' S CURRENCY, THE WLFI ' S HEAT HAS GRADUALLY INCREASED, AND FINALLY 20 BILLION WLFIS WERE SUCCESSFULLY SOLD AND $300 MILLION RAISED ON 20 JANUARY 2025。
• IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FIRST ROUND OF PRE-SALE, WLFI OPENED A SECOND ROUND OF PRE-SALE AT A PRICE OF $0.05 PER ITEM FOR A TOTAL OF 5 BILLION (5 PER CENT OF TOTAL SUPPLY). THE SECOND ROUND WAS SOLD OUT ON MARCH 14, 2025, RAISING $250 MILLION。
• IN ADDITION TO TWO ROUNDS OF SALES TO THE PUBLIC, THE PROJECT PRE-SOLD A TOTAL OF 8,893 MILLION COINS (8893 PER CENT OF THE SUPPLY) FOR STRATEGIC INVESTORS AND INSTITUTIONAL PARTICIPANTS AT A PRICE OF $0.1 PER ITEM, ACCORDING TO THE WLFI OFFICIAL CURRENCY ECONOMIC MODEL。

ON BALANCE, WLFI SOLD 33,893 MILLION COINS (33,893% OF TOTAL SUPPLY) THROUGH PRE-SALE SALES。

IN SEPTEMBER 2025, WLFI OFFICIALLY WENT ONLINE, AND THE PRE-SALE PARTICIPANTS WELCOMED THE FIRST LOCK-OUT - TWO ROUNDS OF PRE-SALE USERS WHO WERE INVOLVED AND COULD UNLOCK 20 PER CENT OF THE TOKENS AFTER SIGNING A TOKEN UNLOCKING AGREEMENT AND COMPLETING THE ACTIVATION PROCESS, WITH THE REMAINING 80 PER CENT AWAITING SUBSEQUENT GOVERNANCE. THE SHARE OF INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS IS NOT UNLOCKED。

THE WLFI MARKET WAS HOTTER ONCE AFTER IT WENT ONLINE, AND THE PRICE ON THE CHAIN WENT THROUGH US$ 0.45 THAT DAY, AND THE PRICE ON SOME OF THE SECOND-AND-THIRD-LINE EXCHANGES WENT UP TO THE TOP OF US$ 1. IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS, THE WLFI PRICE GRADUALLY BEGAN TO DECLINE FROM THE TOP OF US$ 0.2 TO US$ 0.08 AS OF THE ISSUANCE。

FOR USERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE FIRST ROUND OF WLFI PRE-SALE (AT A COST OF $0.015), EVEN IF ONLY 20 PER CENT OF THE CURRENCY HAD BEEN UNLOCKED, THE PRINCIPAL WAS LARGELY RECOVERED AND EVEN PROFITABLE AS LONG AS IT HAD BEEN SOLD OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS; BUT FOR THE SECOND ROUND OF PRE-SALE USERS (AT A COST OF $0.05), MOST OF THE USERS HAD NOT RECOVERED THE PRINCIPAL UNLESS THEY HAD TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE HIGH PRICE AT THE START OF THE OPENING。

MOST USERS WERE NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT AT FIRST -- AS LONG AS THE REMAINING 80% WERE UNLOCKED, HOW COULD THEY MAKE A PROFIT? BUT AS THE PRICES OF THE WLFI GO DOWN, THE EXPECTATIONS OF PRE-SALE USERS FOR SUBSEQUENT UNLOCKING ALSO RISE。

BUT NOBODY THOUGHT THAT WLFI WOULD MAKE MOTHS ON THE UNLOCK RULES。

WLFI'S UNLOCKED PROPOSAL. OH, NO. UNLOCKED NOTICE

ACCORDING TO THE PROPOSALS ISSUED BY THE WLFI OFFICIAL FORUM, THE REMAINING WLFI SHARES OF EARLY SUPPORTERS (PRE-SALE USERS), FOUNDERS, TEAMS, CONSULTANTS, PARTNERS ARE THE FOLLOWING。

• FOR PRE-SALE USERS (TEMPORARY 17,043,666,558 WLFIS, THE NUMBERS MAY CHANGE BECAUSE SOME PRE-SALE USERS HAVE NOT CLAIMED A TOKEN), ALL LOCKING TOKENS WILL GO THROUGH A TWO-YEAR LOCK-DOWN PERIOD, FOLLOWED BY A TWO-YEAR LINEAR DE-LOCKING PERIOD - THAT IS, YESIt'll take four years to unlock it allI don't know。
• FOR THE FOUNDERS, TEAMS, CONSULTANTS, PARTNERS (INVOLVING 45,238,585,647 WLFIS), 10 PER CENT OF ALL LOCKED TOKENS (I.E. 4,523,858,565) WILL BE PERMANENTLY DESTROYED AND REMOVED FROM THE TOTAL SUPPLY, LEAVING 90 PER CENT (40,714,727,082 WLFIS) TO GO THROUGH A TWO-YEAR LOCK-DOWN PERIOD, FOLLOWED BY A THREE-YEAR LINEAR DE-LOCKING PERIOD - THAT IS, A THREE-YEAR PERIODFive years to unlock it allI don't know。

OKAY, HERE WE GO. MOST OF THE USERS WHO WERE THINKING OF INVESTING IN WLFI WERE IN THE NAME OF THE TRUMP FAMILY, BUT NOW YOU'RE WAITING FOR FOUR MORE YEARS TO GET A TOKEN, WHEN THE CURRENT TERM OF TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY WAS LONG OVERDUE, AND WITHOUT SAYING THAT TRUMP STILL REMEMBERS HIS GREAT BOYS HAVING DONE IT, HIS OLD AGE IS A PROBLEM

THERE IS ANOTHER POINT THAT MUST BE MENTIONED, OR IN ORDER TO DEMONSTRATE THE DECENTRIZATION OF THE WLFI, THE WLFI ALSO “HUMANIZED” IN ITS PROPOSAL THAT, IF APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION, THE TOKENS OF THE HOLDER WHO DID NOT EXPRESSLY ACCEPT THE ATTRIBUTION OF THE PLAN WOULD CONTINUE TO BE LOCKED INDEFINITELY -- TRANSLATION: “YOU MAY NOT AGREE, YOU MAY NOT AGREE TO LOCK IT FOR LIFE.”

IT MAY HAVE BEEN EXPECTED THAT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN GREATER RESISTANCE IN THE COMMUNITY, AND THE WLFI HAS EVEN BEEN CRITICISED UNDER THE OFFICIAL GOVERNANCE FORUM. AS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE FIGURE BELOW, YOU CAN SEE A LARGE NUMBER OF HIGHLY UNIFORM WATER FORCE RESPONSES (ALL STARTING WITH YES)。

It's hard to turn to a living man and say, "Oh, my God, I'm going to send these animals to the station!"

WLFI TEAM MOTIVE CONJECTURE

FINALLY, GUESS THE MOTIVE OF THE WLFI TEAM. FRIENDS ARE ASKING WHY THE WLFI FOUNDERS AND THE TEAM HAVE TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO DESTROY 10% OF THE TOKENS, AND THERE ARE TWO POSSIBLE SCENARIOS。

ONE IS THAT THERE'S A GREAT LOVE IN THE WLFI TEAM, APART FROM BEING A COMMUNITY. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE DESTRUCTION OF 10% OF THE COIN IS JUST A PLAY TO CALM THE MOOD IN THE COMMUNITY (I'VE SACRIFICED SO MUCH, IT'S NOT EASY). AFTER ALL, THE 10% THAT CAN BE COMPLETELY UNLOCKED IN A FEW YEARS' TIME, AND THE VALUE ITSELF IS QUESTIONABLE, THE REAL RESULT OF THE WLFI TEAM IS TO LOCK IT ALL, BECAUSE THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE CHIPS IS IN THEIR BEST INTEREST, AND EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR OWN TOKENS, THERE'S ALWAYS SOME HIDDEN DISTRIBUTION UNDER THE WATER -- THAT'S THE MEANING OF THE CURRENCY ECONOMIC MODEL。

These are purely personal speculations. You have to ask me which one I believe, which is definitely the first。
