What's Brewing in Notoko's Canister this Week ☕

World Liberty Financial: Trump’s Crypto Adventure 🚀💰

Donald Trump and his sons are at it again—this time teasing their mysterious crypto project, World Liberty Financial. While they’ve kept things hush-hush publicly, behind the scenes, a white paper has been making the rounds, and it’s got some serious DeFi vibes. 🌐

What’s the deal? Well, it seems WLFI is the star of the show—a governance token that lets users help steer the project, deciding on new DeFi markets or blockchain integrations. Sounds democratic, right? But there’s a twist: WLFI is non-transferable, which could make things a bit tricky for those looking to trade it. 🤔

Oh, and here’s a fun fact: 18-year-old Barron Trump has been dubbed the project’s "DeFi visionary." Talk about family goals! 🙌

But here’s where things get juicy. Some familiar faces from Dough Finance (yes, that same DeFi platform that got hacked for $2 million) are behind World Liberty Financial. The project’s code seems to have borrowed a little too much from Dough Finance’s early days—though it’s unclear if those pesky vulnerabilities made the jump. 🕵️‍♂️

As Trump’s “Chief Crypto Advocate” (yup, that’s his new title), he’s all about bringing power back to the people. "For too long, the average American has been squeezed by big banks and financial elites," Trump said, rallying his DeFiant supporters. 📢💪

But don’t worry, Trump isn’t doing this solo. He’s got a whole squad, including longtime business buddies like Steve Witkoff and crypto influencers. And while everyone’s curious about how WLFI will play out, one thing’s for sure—this is just the beginning of Trump’s DeFi domination. 💸

That's a wrap! See you next week for more byte-sized blockchain fun (and a sprinkle of ICP love).
