DeFi hub Wolf, operating under Byrrgis, has announced that more than 57% of its total WOLF token supply will be locked for two years, following recent incidents involving its Ethereum (ETH) bridge and an early token holder, as per the details shared with Finbold.

The measure, covering over 570 million tokens valued at around $13.2 million, aims to restore community confidence and demonstrate long-term commitment from major holders.

The two-year lock, executed via Streamflow, will see tokens gradually vest after the holding period, with an option to re-lock thereafter. The measure follows two incidents in late September that temporarily affected WOLF’s token stability. 

In the first, a contractor retained administrator access to the project’s Ethereum bridge and minted unbacked ETH-WOLF tokens, draining over $600,000 in ETH-side liquidity. The second involved an early whale selling around 2% of the supply after declining to join the community lock framework.

Wolf said both events were contained, with the bridge and token infrastructure since reinforced to prevent similar occurrences. The lock is intended to reduce sell pressure, provide visibility into token ownership, and set a new standard of transparency for the platform’s DeFi community.

Robert Freeman, CTO of Byrrgis and Wolf, said that despite the bridge having undergone a full audit, access was misused by a contractor with administrator privileges, noting:

Amy Cooksey, CMO of Byrrgis and Wolf, added: 

According to Wolf, the measures reflect a broader goal to create an institutional-grade DeFi framework with clear accountability and resilience built into its design.

The post How The ByteDance App Survived Trump And A US Ban appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON, DC – MARCH 13: Participants hold signs in support of TikTok outside the U.S. Capitol Building on March 13, 2024 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) Getty Images From President Trump’s first ban attempt to a near-blackout earlier this year, TikTok’s five-year roller coaster ride looks like it’s finally slowing down now that Trump has unveiled a deal framework to keep the ByteDance app alive in the U.S. A look back at the saga around TikTok starting in 2020, however, shows just how close the app came to being shut out of the US – how it narrowly averted a ban and forced sale that found rare bipartisan backing in Washington. Recapping TikTok’s dramatic five-year battle When I interviewed Brendan Carr back in 2022, for example, the future FCC chairman was already certain at that point that TikTok’s days were numbered. For a litany of perceived sins — everything from the too-cozy relationship of the app’s parent company with China’s ruling regime to the app’s repeated floating of user privacy — Carr was already convinced, at least during his conversation with me, that: “The tide is going out on TikTok.” It was, in fact, one of the few issues that Washington lawmakers seemed to agree on. Even then-President Biden was on board, having resurrected Trump’s aborted TikTok ban from his first term and signed it into law. “It feels different now than it did two years ago at the end of the Trump administration, when concerns were first raised,” Carr told me then, in August of 2022. “I think, like a lot of things in the Trump era, people sort of picked sides on the issue based on the fact that it was Trump.” One thing led to another, though, and it looked like Carr was probably…
