# The Evolution of WLTH

The community has voted for WLTH 3.0, a transition from a speculative, emission-based token model toward a structure rooted in the core of WLTH’s own tokenisation model, grounded in real business value and built for long-term ownership alignment. This move transforms WLTH into durable financial infrastructure that prioritises revenue and scale as the core drivers of success.

To reflect on this process, here is a look back at the timeline. We have been intentional at every step to ensure transparency, open discussion, and community alignment:

* Discussion Started: 2nd January
* Community AMA: 2nd February
* Voting: 5th February to 12th February
* Perma-Staking Live (Phase 1): 1st April
* Phase Durations: 1 month each for Phase 1 & 2
* Phase 3 Started: 31st May (with just 0.35% in Topco minted since)
* Phase 3 Closes: 12pm UTC, 20th July 2026

We have now reached a point where that opportunity has been fully exhausted. Since Phase 3 began on the 31st of May, we have seen participation naturally plateau, with only an additional 0.35% of the Topco allocation minted during this extended period. This signals to us that the vast majority of our community who wished to convert have already done so, and it is time to formally close this chapter.

You can now allocate your WLTH tokens and Gen 1 & 2 NFTs to earn Topco slices. Access the Perma-Staking portal below to get started:

### **✅ What Is Changing**

1. Removal of Fragile Mechanics: We are phasing out short-term staking yields, emissions-based incentives, and complex reward loops:
   1. All staking will be paused immediately
   2. Staked tokens will be unstaked without 2% fee.

2. Permanent Staking (Optional): Holders now have a choice to permanently stake tokens and Gen NFTs. This is a voluntary and irreversible path that removes tokens from circulation in exchange for [economic exposure](/investment/exclusive-access/pre-ipo-access) to WLTH TopCo.
   1. Rolled out in 3 Phases
   2. All 3 phases will follow immediately one after another

3. Equity Allocation: Up to 50% of WLTH TopCo’s economic equity is now allocated to the permanent staking pool. This is time-weighted, meaning earlier conviction is rewarded more favourably.

| Phase/Asset Class  | Duration | Multiplier                                          | WLTH Corp (50% of Topco) |
| ------------------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Phase 1            | 0-30     | 1.5x                                                | 30%                      |
| Phase 2            | 31-60    | 1x                                                  | 40%                      |
| Phase 3 (Live now) | 60-110   | WLTH Tokens 0.72x Gen 1 NFTs 0.77x Gen 2 NFTs 0.85x | 30%                      |

4. The "Core" Layer: We are introducing WLTH Core, a new structural layer that accumulates and reinvests exposure from business activities. The existing WLTH Fund will be consolidated here as seed capital.

### **❌ What Is NOT Changing**

* Optionality: There is no forced conversion. If you prefer to stay liquid and hold the WLTH token as an "access rail" without staking, that remains a valid and supported strategy.
* Liquidity: The WLTH token remains liquid, transferable, and global.
* Treasury Commitment: The treasury remains the largest holder of WLTH and will not sell into the market, maintaining long-term alignment with holders.
* Blockchain Integration: WLTH is not "leaving crypto" but rather championing our proprietary real-world equity tokenisation model with our own protocol. It is the ultimate show of faith in what we are doing as a business.

| Phase 1 | Structural Implementation     | Finalising the corporate restructuring with new entities and operating licences in place                                                               |
| Phase 2 | Permanent Staking Launch      | Opening the portal for holders to voluntarily commit to long-term alignment via time-weighted staking.                                                 |
| Phase 3 | Strategy Incubation & Scaling | WLTH accelerates & compounds growth scaling new and legacy products globally, & WLTH Core begins incubating new strategies to drive compounding value. |
| Phase 4 | Operational Maturity          | Introduction of conditional quarterly distributions from free cash flow once maturity is reached.                                                      |

Note: Distributions are conditional based on business performance and operational maturity; they are not guaranteed.

### **FAQs:**

**1. What is Permanent Staking (a.k.a. “Perma-Staking”)?**

Permanent staking is a new, voluntary alignment path for long-term holders. By choosing to permanently stake your WLTH tokens or Genesis NFTs, you remove them from circulation forever. In exchange, you receive economic exposure to WLTH Corp (the operating business) via WLTH Core.

**2. How does the "50% Equity Allocation" work?**

* The Allocation: Up to 50% of WLTH TopCo’s economic equity is allocated to the permanent staking pool to reward long-term alignment.
* The Benefit: This pool receives participation in business exits and potential distributions.
* Example: If the private market equity value of WLTH is $20 million, up to $10 million (50%) is available to the pool of permanent stakers and Genesis NFT holders.
* Time-Weighting: The mechanism is time-weighted, meaning earlier conviction and staking sooner rather than later will receive more favorable terms.

**3. Do I have to stake my tokens?**

No. Participation is entirely optional. You can choose to keep your WLTH tokens liquid and transferable. This "Access Rail" strategy remains a valid way to hold WLTH without the commitment of permanent staking.

**4. What exactly am I giving up if I stake?**

* Liquidity: Staking is irreversible. Once tokens are staked, they are removed from the circulating supply and cannot be "unstaked" to be sold on the open market.
* Governance: The permanent staking pool does not grant voting rights, governance power, or formal cap-table inclusion. It is strictly a right to economic exposure.

**5. What happened to the old staking rewards and emissions?**

To move away from fragile, speculative mechanics, we are removing short-term staking yields and emissions-based incentives. We are replacing these with a model where value is driven by real business revenue and compounding exposure.

**6. When will I see distributions?**

Distributions are conditional and not guaranteed. They are intended to be introduced payouts from free cash flow only after WLTH TopCo reaches operational maturity.
