World Liberty Financial, the decentralized finance project backed by U.S. President Donald Trump, has proposed an incentive program for holders of its WLFI token, with the team targeting a launch by October 1.

The proposal lays out the framework for rewarding WLFI holders and includes key implementation details. Among them is how the team is likely to fund the staking rewards pool earmarked to reward token holders.

World Liberty Financial launched in 2024 and is closely associated with the Trump family. Its WLFI token functions as the project's governance asset, giving holders the ability to vote on proposals that shape the protocol's development. The newly proposed program, described as a governance incentive initiative, would add staking-based rewards to the token's existing governance functions, giving holders a route to earn rewards alongside their voting rights.

Staking-based reward programs are a common mechanism across decentralized finance, where protocols typically use them to encourage holders to lock tokens and participate more actively in governance. With the October 1 target date in place, the funding plan for the staking rewards pool stands out as the detail to watch as the initiative moves from proposal toward implementation.
