Wormhole: Will establish a W Strategic Reserve and optimize the token release mechanism

BlockBeats News, September 30th, according to official sources, the Wormhole team announced the upcoming launch of the Wormhole Reserve as part of W's strategic reserve, which will accumulate on-chain and off-chain protocol value to support the long-term development of the ecosystem. As the protocol and applications expand, related revenue and value will be injected into the reserve, driving W's growth directly tied to the ecosystem.

In addition, Wormhole 2.0 will introduce a 4% base staking reward and governance incentive. Users can enhance their staking rewards through active participation in ecosystem applications, the use of Portal Earn, and other means. This mechanism does not introduce additional inflation, and the total supply remains at 10 billion tokens.

To enhance market stability, Wormhole will implement a new bi-weekly unlock mechanism starting on October 3, 2025, replacing the traditional annual unlock cliff period. This move will eliminate concentrated selling pressure, create a smoother release curve, and strengthen long-term consistency between investors and validation nodes. The adjusted release schedule covers Guardian Nodes, Community & Launch, Ecosystem & Incubation, and Strategic Partnerships, totaling approximately 64.7% of the token supply. The Foundation Treasury and Core Contributors sections will follow the original rules, with the Foundation continuing its daily unlocks, and Core Contributors adhering to the annual lockup agreement until October 2028.
