The day before, on Oct. 14, WLFi will host a Space on X to share more details about the project. The sale will take place on Ethereum, but the team is already planning to expand to Scroll, a layer 2 with zk-rollup technology that promises fast and cost-free transactions. Scroll’s SCR token , meanwhile, has just been the first token launched on Binance‘s Pre-market, following the Launchpool that took place in previous days,
In parallel, the project will submit a governance proposal to integrate through Aave, the industry’s leading lending and borrowing protocol, with over $12 billion at its core. If approved, this collaboration will allow the integration of many traditional finance users within the industry.
A launch close to the U.S. election
The launch of the WLFi token comes three weeks before the U.S. presidential election, where Donald Trump, the project’s main backer, is currently ahead in the polls.
On Polymarket, Trump is given 54.8 percent, a 10 percentage point margin over his opponent Kamala Harris, who stands at 44.8 percent. The proximity in time between the token launch and the approaching election could generate additional interest from investors, consideringTrump’s political influence.
WLFi aims to combine cutting-edge technology and mass accessibility. The goal is to become a global benchmark in DeFi. The platform will initially be available on Ethereum, with Scroll integration and other new features under consideration.
