After WLFI went live, although there was a pullback, the early participants actually made significant gains. Subsequently, funds may overflow, triggering the second wave. We have categorized 8 types of participation methods, including coin purchase, DeFi, IDO, task interaction, stock holdings, etc.

1/8 Direct Coin Purchase Type (Long-term Holding/Speculative Trading)

Directly purchase related tokens, most of which are connected to the WLFI ecosystem. However, meme-driven speculation is highly volatile and suitable for short-term gambling:

· @Dolomite_io ($DOLO), @BlockStreetXYZ ($BLOCK), and the WLFI team have a strong connection, and the coin price trend is highly correlated with the WLFI narrative, which will be detailed later. In short, if you want to hold the orthodox Beta of the ecosystem, these two coins should not be overlooked.

· @chainlink ($LINK): A well-known oracle token that provides cross-chain interoperability for USD1. As a large-cap blue-chip coin, Chainlink is the infrastructure of the WLFI ecosystem. You can buy the coin and consider participating in the next round of LINK staking to earn rewards (the current staking v0.2 pool is full).

· @aave ($AAVE): The WLFI plan is to share protocol revenue with the Aave DAO, which may bring additional income and user traffic to Aave, a key bullish factor. However, there was a coin split conflict before the WLFI launch, causing price fluctuations.

· @Dora_USD1 ($DORA), Torch of Liberty ($Liberty), @BUILDonBsc_AI ($B) and other USD1 ecosystem MEME coins based on the BNB chain. The coin prices are highly volatile, not recommended for long-term holding, but can be traded opportunistically in the short term.

2/8 DeFi Participation Type (Staking/Lending/Liquidity Mining)

These projects mainly provide on-chain staking, lending, LP mining, and other DeFi services, where you can earn rewards by participating in the protocol:

USD1: An institutional-grade USD stablecoin issued by WLFI, compliant with the U.S. regulatory framework, including the 2025 GENIUS Act. As of September 2, the market cap has exceeded $26.7 billion, and it has been deployed on multiple chains like BNB, ETH, Tron, and Solana.
Participation method: USD1 has integrated with multiple DeFi platforms and allows participation in the ListaDAO liquidity pool (around 4.8% APY), among others, to earn rewards. It can also be used for crypto payments through Umy and Pundi X.

@Dolomite_io: A lending protocol supporting multi-chain assets, aiming to become a core USD1 lending market.
Participation: Provide USD1 lending liquidity on Dolomite, or borrow USD1 to earn interest.

@FalconStable: Falcon Finance has launched the USDf synthetic dollar stablecoin protocol and secured a strategic investment of $10 million from WLFI. Falcon has currently included USD1 as one of the eligible collateral assets.
Participation: Utilize USD1 to mint USDf on the Falcon platform.

@lista_dao: A liquidity staking protocol that announced a collaboration with WLFI in May this year to introduce multiple USD1 use cases.
Participation: Deposit into Lista's USD1 pool, currently yielding around 4.8% in the Lista USD1 Vault.

@Stake_Stone: A cross-chain liquidity distribution platform that launched the USD1 LiquidityPad in July, covering various multi-chain USD1 scenarios.
Participation: Deposit USD1 into the USD1 LiquidityPad, with an estimated APY of 18.57%.

@ethena_labs: Issuer of the USDe synthetic dollar stablecoin and collaborator with WLFI to introduce the yield-stabilized coin sUSDe.
Participation: Hold ENA tokens or engage with USD1 interoperability products on Ethena. Currently, holding USDe allows for earning 5%-10% APY through staking to receive sUSDe.

@OndoFinance: Exploring the integration of Real World Asset (RWA) assets such as USDY, OUSG, and tokenized securities into the WLFI platform.
Participation: Invest in these tokenized assets through the Ondo platform, e.g., by purchasing USDY with an approximate 4.2% APY.

@plumenetwork: As an RWA chain, announced in July that USD1 will serve as the reserve asset for its on-chain stablecoin pUSD.
Participation: Engage in various Vault and staking options on the Plume website, offering APY ranging from 5% to 15%.

@RaydiumProtocol: On the first day of WLFI's launch, USD1 was concurrently launched on Raydium, which has already listed multiple USD1 trading pairs and liquidity pools.
Participation: Provide liquidity to Raydium with pairs like USD1-SOL, with current 24-hour APY ranging from 20% to 200%.

@KaminoFinance: On the first day of WLFI's launch, USD1 also simultaneously launched on Kamino.
Participation method: Currently, you can swap USD1 through Kamino.

@kernel_dao: Another staking protocol, USD1 will be added as a staking asset at the end of May.
Participation method: You can stake USD1 on Kernel, but please note that the current staking amount is relatively small, and there is no clear yield yet.

3/8 Launchpad Category (Initial DEX Offering/IDO)

@bonk_fun: Launchpad platform on Solana, designated as the official Launchpad for the Solana chain USD1.

@BlockStreetXYZ: The first official USD1-native Launchpad platform, whose co-founder Matthew Morgan is a WLFI advisor and ALT5's Chief Investment Officer.

@BUILDonBsc_AI: A MEME coin on the BNB chain, originally named "BUILDon." After a name change in July this year, it announced the launch of the first USD1 ecosystem Launchpad.
Participation method: Pay attention to hot projects appearing on the Launchpad, or projects strongly tied to WLFI officially.

4/8 WLFI Point Program Point Mechanics

WLFI has collaborated with exchanges such as Gate, Bitget, HTX, MEXC, KuCoin, etc., to launch the USD1 point program.

Participation method: Trading USD1, holding USD1 long-term, or participating in staking activities will allow you to continuously accumulate points. These points may be airdropped with WLFI in the future or tied to other ecosystem benefits, effectively packaging "trading + holding + financial management" into an early user reward channel.

5/8 Mission Interaction

Earn airdrop rewards through interactive tasks such as completing on-chain missions:

@TaggerAI: A decentralized AI data labeling platform that settles data orders in USD1 and plans to distribute task rewards to labelers in USD1 form. Currently, Tagger has also launched a check-in task activity on Binance (see the Binance mission page).

Participation Method: Participate in labeling tasks on the Tagger platform. Upon completing the designated task, you will receive TAG tokens or a USD1 reward.

6/8 Stock Investment

ALT5 Sigma Corporation: ALT5 is a company listed on the NASDAQ. In August 2025, the WLFI team led a $1.5 billion financing subscription.
Participation Method: Purchase ALT5 stock

7/8 Focus on WLFI Strategic Investments

Focus on WLFI Foundation's and team's strategic investments in external projects, such as the previously mentioned Falcon Finance receiving a $10 million WLFI strategic investment and Vaulta (formerly EOS) receiving a $6 million WLFI investment commitment. Additionally, although not a direct WLFI investment, the Meme coin $U, WLFI's public wallet previously held 45.8% of its supply.

8/8 Other Potential Opportunities

The official website has clearly stated upcoming features, including the WLFI App (aggregated wallet and payment) and Lend & Borrow (lending platform).

1. The WLFI App provides one-stop asset management services, allowing users to recharge via binding traditional bank or cryptocurrency wallets and use USD1 for payments or financial participation at any time.

2. Lend & Borrow is similar to lending protocols like Aave/Venus, allowing users to deposit assets such as USD1 to earn interest or borrow other assets against USD1 collateral.

Currently, both of these products are still in development.

Risk Warning: The WLFI ecosystem is still in the early stages, and many projects carry a high level of speculation. The above projects are for reference only and are not recommendations.
