Trump-Associated WLFI Project Pushes Ahead with Aggressive Token Burn Plan


The World Liberty Financial (WLFI) protocol is on the verge of a significant economic shift, as its community overwhelmingly supports a proposal to permanently burn tokens using protocol-generated revenue.


Instead of holding onto fees from its liquidity operations, the new model would use that revenue to automatically buy WLFI tokens from the market — and send those tokens to a burn address, removing them from circulation permanently.


Supporters argue this aligns protocol success directly with tokenholder value, creating a real-time mechanism where increased activity leads to immediate deflation and potentially higher token value for those still holding WLFI.


So far, the proposal has seen near-unanimous backing, with over 99% voting in favor. With about a week left in the voting window, the outcome seems virtually certain.



What Makes This Burn Proposal Unique



  • The burn would apply to revenues generated by the protocol’s own liquidity pools, but independent liquidity providers wouldn’t be affected.


  • Over time, this system could expand to include other revenue streams, creating a broader, automated burn mechanism as WLFI’s ecosystem evolves.



Context and Background


WLFI has been experimenting with community-led initiatives, including past votes on enabling token trading and buybacks linked to revenue. Its model is designed to connect DeFi markets with a treasury-backed framework — an approach that’s gained extra attention due to endorsements from members of the Trump family, adding a political spotlight to an otherwise niche crypto project.



Why It Matters


If implemented, the burn mechanism would place WLFI among a small group of DeFi protocols using permanent token destruction as a way to enforce scarcity and long-term value. For backers, it’s more than just a technical upgrade — it’s a signal of the project’s commitment to sustainable value creation and aligning growth with its holders' interests.
