World Liberty Financial Tells All in Gold Paper: Trump-Family to Receive 75% of All Revenue

Key Takeaways
  • Less than 900 million WLFI tokens have been sold. 20 billion were allocated for the sale.
  • A Trump-owned entity will receive $22.5 billion in WLFI tokens and 75% of the platform’s net revenues.
  • WLFI is a non-transferrable governance token.

World Liberty Financial (WLF) has finally published its version of a whitepaper called the gold paper. Still, it appears to have revealed a troubling token allocation and revenue split.

WLF Revenues

According to the gold paper , Trump’s family could receive 75% of the platform’s revenues via a Trump-linked firm, DT Marks DEFI LLC. According to the 13-page gold paper from WLF, the Trump family will receive 22.5 billion WLFI tokens, valued at $337.5 million.

Despite this, Trump and his family assume no liability. The paper’s disclaimer explicitly states that Donald Trump, his family, and affiliates/executives, etc., within the Trump Organization, DT Marks DEFI LLC, or other entities are not an:

“[…]officer, director, founder, or employee of, or manager, owner or operator of Word Liberty Financial or its affiliates or the WLF Platform. $WLFI tokens and use of the World LibertyFinancial platform are offered and sold solely by World Liberty Financial or its affiliates.”

It’s worth noting that they have misspelled “World” and “Word” in this instance.

Axiom Management Group, owned by WLF’s Chase Herro and Zachary Folkman, receives the remaining 25% of net revenues, or 7.5 billion WLFI.

Regardless, having sold just 874.45 million WLFI, or roughly $13.11 million worth, the project has a long way to go before it hits its target of $300 million or anyone sees any meaningful revenues.

WLFI Token Allocation

The WLF has allocated 35% of the 100 billion WLFI token supply to the token sale . A further 32.5% will have been assigned to “community growth and incentives,” with an additional 30% going to initial supporters. A final 2.5% will go to the team and advisors. But don’t forget to read the small print:

“*Anticipated token distribution amounts are subject to change, and distributions require the consent of initial Supporters, WLF and/or the $WLFI governance community.”

The WLFI token is a governance token used to create and vote on proposals such as protocol upgrades. That’s all the information available for now. It’s also non-transferable, potentially for the first twelve months following the token sale.

Indeed, the gold paper notes that the platform will function as a DeFi borrowing/lending/liquidity pool protocol with stablecoins and collateralization. Still, all the important details on how it functions are missing.

Other Concerns

The pseudonymous co-founder of G8keep, a decentralized token launch/security platform, revealed some even deeper troubles rooted within the platform’s code. According to Pop Punk, WLFI devs can burn user tokens “for any reason at any time.”

There is also one particularly standout line from the gold paper that unwinds any ambitions to promote the decentralization aspect of DeFi in any way, as it writes:

“There may be restrictions and other requirements for accessing certain features in particular countries and jurisdictions.”

Remember, if a protocol is truly decentralized, nothing can prevent a user from interacting with its smart contract.

However, the wording here is the least problematic for World Liberty Financial’s so-called protocol.
