BlockBeats news, March 14, according to Reuters, the cryptocurrency project World Liberty Financial, co-founded by US President Trump, has launched the "Super Nodes" program: investors who lock up WLFI tokens worth $5 million (about 50 million tokens) for 180 days will gain priority access to discuss cooperation opportunities with the company's business development team and executives. This proposal has been approved by community vote, with the project team stating that 99% of votes were in support. Participants must stake tokens to obtain governance voting rights, and after participating in at least two votes, they will receive a 2% WLFI token reward. The report notes that, according to project terms, 75% of new token sales revenue will flow to the Trump family. White House legal counsel stated that Trump himself did not participate in the related business transactions and that there is no conflict with presidential duties.
