World Liberty Financial, in collaboration with Gate.io, has introduced the USD1 Points Program, designed to reward stablecoin users, alongside the launch of its Lockbox mechanism ahead of the WLFI token unlock.
Announced on Aug. 25, the program allows stablecoin holders to earn points through trading, holding USD1, and participating in related activities, providing new incentives for adoption. Since its debut earlier this year, USD1 has rapidly become one of the top stablecoins by market capitalization, and this initiative marks another key step in its growth.
Rewards Program with Daily Points
According to Gate.io, the points program runs on a daily cycle, with holdings and trading volume updated at 08:00 UTC each day. Points are then distributed at 12:00 UTC, giving users regular opportunities to earn rewards.
Gate.io has stated that additional features will be introduced over time, though the initial set of new user benefits is already active. By positioning USD1 as more than just a transactional asset, the program seeks to boost engagement in trading, yield products, and launchpad initiatives.
WLFI Lockbox and Token Release Process
On the same day, WLFI launched its Lockbox system, which requires holders to deposit tokens in advance of the project’s scheduled unlock on Sept. 1. The WLFI token has been one of this year’s largest offerings, following a $2.26 billion raise.
Initially limited to governance voting, 20% of WLFI presale tokens will become tradable after the unlock, which was approved by a community vote in July.
Despite increasing scrutiny over its large transfers and ties to the Trump family, WLFI has successfully secured funding deals and exchange listings. As the token unlock approaches, market focus is expected to shift toward WLFI’s ability to maintain price stability and liquidity.
