Although WLFI has experienced a pullback since its launch, early investors have already reaped significant benefits. This is likely to lead to capital outflows, sparking speculation about a second wave. We've organized eight ways to participate, including buying tokens, DeFi, new listings, task interactions, and stock holdings.
1/8 Direct coin purchase (long-term holding/speculative trading)
Directly buying related tokens is mostly tied to the WLFI ecosystem. However, the volatility of meme hype is high, making it suitable for short-term speculation:
@Dolomite_io ($DOLO) and @BlockStreetXYZ ($BLOCK) are strongly tied to the WLFI team, and their price trends are highly correlated with the WLFI narrative. More on this later. In short, if you're looking to ambush the ecosystem's legitimate Beta, these two coins are a must-see.
@chainlink ($LINK): A well-known oracle token, it provides cross-chain interoperability support for USD 1. As a large-cap blue-chip coin, Chainlink is the infrastructure of the WLFI ecosystem. Buy the token and consider participating in the next round of LINK staking to earn returns (the staking pool for v0.2 is currently full).
@aave ($AAVE): WLFI plans to share protocol revenue with Aave DAO, potentially bringing in additional revenue and user traffic for Aave, a key factor in its bullish outlook. However, a coin split conflict occurred before WLFI launched, causing price fluctuations.
USD 1 ecosystem MEME coins based on the BNB chain, such as @Dora_USD 1 ($DORA), Torch of Liberty ($Liberty), and @BUILDonBsc_AI ($B). Prices fluctuate drastically, so long-term holdings are not recommended. Short-term trend trading is recommended.
2/8 DeFi Participation (Staking/Lending/Liquidity Mining)
These projects mainly provide DeFi services such as on-chain staking, lending, and LP mining, and can earn income by participating in the agreement:
USD 1: An institutional-grade USD stablecoin issued by WLFI, compliant with US regulatory frameworks, including the GENIUS Act of 2025. As of September 2nd, its market capitalization has exceeded $2.67 billion and has been deployed on multiple chains including BNB, ETH, Tron, and Solana.
How to participate: USD 1 has been integrated with multiple DeFi platforms, allowing users to participate in the ListaDAO liquidity pool (approximately 4.8% annualized) and earn returns. Crypto payments can also be made through Umy and Pundi X.
@Dolomite_io: A lending protocol that supports multi-chain assets, aiming to become the USD 1 core lending market.
How to participate: Provide USD 1 lending liquidity on Dolomite, or borrow USD 1 to earn interest.
@FalconStable: Falcon Finance launched USDf, a synthetic USD stablecoin protocol, and received a $10 million strategic investment from WLFI. Falcon now includes USD 1 as one of its available collateral assets.
How to participate: Use USD 1 to mint USDf on the Falcon platform.
@lista_dao: Liquidity staking protocol, announced in May this year that it will cooperate with WLFI to launch multiple USD 1 application scenarios.
How to participate: Deposit into Lista’s USD 1 pool. Currently, Lista USD 1 Vault is around 4.8%.
@Stake_Stone: A full-chain liquidity distribution platform, launching USD 1 LiquidityPad in July, covering multi-chain USD 1 scenarios.
How to participate: Deposit USD 1 in the USD 1 LiquidityPad, estimated annualized return of 18.57%.
@ethena_labs: Issued the USDe synthetic USD stablecoin and partnered with WLFI to launch the yield-generating stablecoin sUSDe.
How to participate: Hold ENA tokens or follow the USD 1 interoperability product on Ethena. Currently, holders of USDe can obtain sUSDe through staking to earn an annualized return of 5%-10%.
@OndoFinance: Exploring integration of RWA assets like USDY, OUSG, and tokenized securities into the WLFI platform.
How to participate: Invest in these tokenized assets through the Ondo platform, for example, buying USDY with an annualized return of around 4.2%.
@plumenetwork: As an RWA chain, it announced in July that USD 1 will be used as a reserve asset for its on-chain stablecoin pUSD.
Participation method: You can participate in various Vaults and staking on the Plume official website, with annualized returns ranging from 5%-15%.
@RaydiumProtocol: On the first day of WLFI's launch, USD 1 was also launched on Raydium. Currently, multiple USD 1 trading pairs and liquidity pools have been launched.
Participation method: You can provide USD 1-SOL and other liquidity to Raydium. The current 24-hour APY ranges from 20% to 200%.
@KaminoFinance: On the first day of WLFI’s launch, USD 1 was also launched on Kamino.
How to participate: Currently you can participate through Kamino swap USD 1.
@kernel_dao: Re-pledge agreement, USD 1 will be included in the re-pledge assets at the end of May.
How to participate: You can stake USD 1 on Kernel, but please note that the current stake amount is small and there is no clear return.
3/8 Launchpad (New/First-tier Projects)
@bonk_fun: The Launchpad platform on Solana has been designated as the official Launchpad for USD 1 on the Solana chain.
@BlockStreetXYZ: The first official USD 1 native launchpad platform, co-founder Matthew Morgan is an advisor to WLFI and Chief Investment Officer of ALT 5.
@BUILDonBsc_AI: A MEME token on the BNB chain, formerly known as "BUILDon." After changing its name in July of this year, it announced the launch of the USD 1 ecosystem's first Launchpad.
How to participate: Pay attention to popular projects on Launchpad or projects that are strongly tied to the WLFI official.
4/8 WLFI Point Program Points Game
WLFI has partnered with exchanges such as Gate, Bitget, HTX, MEXC, and KuCoin to launch a USD 1 points program.
Participation: Trading USD 1, holding USD 1 long-term, or participating in staking activities will allow you to continuously accumulate points. These points may be tied to WLFI airdrops or other ecosystem benefits in the future, effectively combining "trading + holding + financial management" into one early user reward channel.
5/8 Task Interaction
Earn airdrop rewards by completing on-chain tasks and other interactive methods:
@TaggerAI: A decentralized AI data annotation platform that uses USD 1 to settle data orders and plans to issue task rewards to annotators in the form of USD 1. Tagger currently has a sign-in task activity on Binance (see the Binance Tasks page).
How to participate: Participate in tagging tasks on the Tagger platform. Completing designated tasks will earn you TAG tokens or USD 1 reward.
6/8 Stock Investment
ALT 5 Sigma Corporation: ALT 5 is a Nasdaq-listed company. In August 2025, the WLFI team led the completion of a $1.5 billion financing subscription.
How to participate: Purchase ALT 5 shares
7/8 Focus on WLFI strategic investment
Keep an eye on projects in which the WLFI Foundation and its team have made strategic investments. For example, Falcon Finance, mentioned above, secured a $10 million strategic investment from WLFI, and Vaulta (formerly EOS) received a $6 million investment commitment from WLFI. While not a direct investment in 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 that upcoming features include WLFI App (aggregated wallet and payment) and Lend & Borrow (lending platform).
1. The WLFI App provides one-stop asset management services. Users can top up their account by binding to a traditional bank or crypto wallet, and use USD 1 to pay or participate in financial management at any time.
2. Lend & Borrow is similar to lending protocols such as Aave/Venus, allowing users to deposit assets such as USD 1 to earn interest, or borrow other assets with USD 1 as collateral.
Both products are currently under development.
Risk Warning: The WLFI ecosystem is still in its early stages, and many projects are highly speculative. The above projects are for reference only and are not recommended.
