Trump’s DeFi project World Liberty proposes partnership with Aave

World Liberty Financial (WLF), a DeFi project backed by the Trump family and associates, has formally requested to be deployed on Aave V3. The project will be based on the Ethereum mainnet, as revealed in a statement made on Wednesday. 

According to the WLF team, Aave was selected because of its strong security protocols and the team’s experience in the DeFi space. The partnership allows WLF to offer its users a reliable and secure environment for borrowing and lending cryptocurrencies, such as ETH, WBTC, USDC and USDT.

As for the token distribution, 63% of the tokens will be available for the public, 17% of tokens will be assigned to user rewards, and 20% for the team compesation.
