Wormhole: Will establish a W strategic reserve and optimize the token release mechanism

Foresight News: According to official sources, the Wormhole team has announced the upcoming launch of Wormhole Reserve, which will serve as a strategic reserve for W. It will accumulate both on-chain and off-chain protocol value to support the long-term development of the ecosystem. As protocols and applications expand, related revenue and value will be injected into the reserve, directly linking W to ecosystem growth.

In addition, Wormhole 2.0 will introduce a 4% base staking yield and governance incentives. Users can increase their staking returns by actively participating in ecosystem applications and using Portal Earn, among other methods. This mechanism does not introduce additional inflation, and the total supply will remain at 10 billions. To enhance market stability, Wormhole will implement a new bi-weekly unlocking mechanism starting October 3, 2025, replacing the traditional annual cliff vesting period. This move will eliminate concentrated selling pressure, create a smoother release curve, and strengthen long-term alignment between investors and validator nodes. The adjusted release schedule covers guardian nodes, community and launch, ecosystem and incubation, and strategic partners, totaling approximately 64.7% of the token allocation. The foundation treasury and core contributors will maintain the original rules, with the foundation continuing daily releases and core contributors still following the annual lock-up agreement until October 2028.
