Unlock $WLFI
The Unlock feature allows early supporters who purchased WLFI tokens during the initial sale rounds to unlock their tokens according to a defined schedule. This page explains everything you need to know about the unlock process, eligibility, and how to claim your tokens.
Overview
Between approximately October 14, 2024 and March 14, 2025, WLFI tokens were sold to participants at prices of $0.015 and $0.05 per token. These tokens were initially non-transferable and held in participants' wallets.
On around September 1, 2025, twenty percent (20%) of tokens purchased during these rounds became available for unlocking. To access these tokens, eligible participants must sign a Token Unlock Agreement and complete the activation process.
Following the initial 20% unlock, on or around May 6, 2026, the WLFI community passed a governance proposal establishing a structured unlock schedule for all remaining locked tokens.

Am I eligible?
You are eligible for the early supporter unlock feature if you:
Purchased WLFI tokens during the public sale between approximately October 14, 2024 and March 14, 2025
Participated in either the $0.015 or $0.05 price rounds

How unlocking works
Smart contract architecture
The unlock process involves three key smart contracts:
WLFI Token
The token smart contract with activation and claiming functions
Registry
Stores information about legacy users (early purchasers) and their allocations
Unlocking Contract
Holds tokens and releases them according to the unlock schedule
The unlock flow
Early Supporter - Initial unlock (20%):
Activation: You sign the Token Unlock Agreement and Terms of Service and submit a transaction
Token Transfer: Your WLFI tokens move from your wallet to the unlocking smart contract
Wallet Balance: Your wallet will show 0 WLFI (this is expected)
Unlocking: Tokens unlock according to the schedule
Claiming: You can claim unlocked tokens at any time, transferring them back to your wallet
Early Supporter - Remaining 80%:
Activation: You sign the Token Unlock Agreement and Terms of Service and submit a transaction
Cliff Period: For the first 2 years, no tokens are claimable
Allocation Visibility: You can view your full allocation and projected unlock schedule during the cliff
Unlocking: After the 2-year cliff, tokens unlock continuously over the following 2 years
Claiming: Your claimable amount increases over time, and you can claim at any point
Accumulation: Unclaimed tokens continue to accumulate if you do not claim them immediately
Deadline: There is no fixed claim schedule, and no deadline to claim
Full Distribution: By year 4, your full allocation is unlocked and available to claim

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to have completed the first unlock (20%) before accepting this schedule?
If you have not yet completed the first unlock, you will be prompted to do so first. The initial 20% of your allocation will become available immediately upon completing the steps above. Once done, you can proceed with accepting the unlock schedule for the remaining 80%.
Can I claim partial amounts?
When you claim, you receive all available unlocked tokens. You cannot select a specific amount. The claim function transfers all currently claimable tokens to your wallet.
What happens if I don't claim immediately?
Nothing. Your tokens remain safely in the unlocking contract. There's no deadline to claim, and you can claim at any time. Unclaimed tokens continue to accumulate as more tokens unlock.
Can I transfer tokens before claiming?
No. While tokens are in the unlocking contract, they cannot be transferred. You must claim them to your wallet first, then you can use them as you wish.
I accepted, but I'm not seeing any tokens to claim yet.
If you are within the 2-year cliff period, no tokens are claimable yet. Check the dashboard to see how long remains until the linear unlock phase begins.
I purchased tokens, but I'm not seeing the unlock option
Ensure you're:
Connected with the same wallet that received the tokens
On Ethereum Mainnet
A participant from the original $0.015 or $0.05 sale rounds
