WLFI Unlock Entrance is finally open.
After the announcement, I saw a lot of criticism online, which I can understand. Many people’s first reaction to the 2-year lock-up is—it's over, they're stuck.
After reading the rules, there are actually a few pieces of information you might not have noticed.
First, this isn’t a sudden rule change; it’s the formal implementation of previous governance proposals.
The early supporters, about 17 billion $WLFI tokens, are still under the original plan of a 2-year cliff, then a 2-year linear release.
That means most people will actually start unlocking around 2028. The team and advisors are more aggressive—out of 45.2 billion tokens, 10% will be burned directly first, and the remaining will be locked for 2 years, then released gradually over 3 years, with the longest timeline until 2031.
At least one thing is confirmed: this isn’t just locking retail investors; the project team has also locked their tokens.
Many sisters also saw that after signing the agreement, the wallet #WLFI balance turned to 0, thinking the tokens are gone. The official also clarified that this is normal—the tokens are transferred into the unlock contract, not disappeared, and voting rights remain.
Please save this info and don’t click on links in the group randomly, as there have been many phishing attempts recently.
Although I can’t say I’m particularly optimistic right now, compared to projects that drag on without announcing a timeline, I actually think this transparent release schedule reduces some uncertainty.
The rest is up to time.
