The post Wormhole Unveils W Token 2.0 with Enhanced Tokenomics appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Joerg Hiller Sep 17, 2025 13:57 Wormhole introduces W Token 2.0, featuring upgraded tokenomics, a strategic Wormhole Reserve, and a 4% base yield, aiming to optimize ecosystem growth and align incentives. Wormhole has announced a significant upgrade to its native token, unveiling the W Token 2.0. This upgrade introduces new tokenomics including the establishment of a Wormhole Reserve, a 4% base yield, and an optimized unlock schedule, marking a pivotal development in the ecosystem, according to Wormhole. The W Token Evolution Launched in October 2020, Wormhole’s W token has been central to the platform’s mission of creating a connected internet economy. The latest upgrade aims to enhance the token’s utility across more than 40 blockchains. With a capped supply of 10 billion, the W token supports governance, staking, and ecosystem growth, aligning incentives for network security and development. Introducing the Wormhole Reserve The Wormhole Reserve will accumulate value from both onchain and offchain activities, supporting the ecosystem’s expansion. As Wormhole adoption grows, the token will capture value through network expansions and ecosystem applications, ensuring that growth is directly reflected in the token’s value. 4% Base Yield and Governance Rewards Wormhole 2.0 introduces a 4% base yield for W holders who actively participate in governance. The yield, derived from existing token supplies and protocol revenues, is designed to incentivize active participation without inflating the token supply. Optimized Unlock Schedule Updating its token release schedule, Wormhole replaces annual cliffs with bi-weekly unlocks, starting October 3, 2025. This change aims to reduce market pressure and provide a more stable environment for investors and contributors. The bi-weekly schedule will span over 4.5 years, affecting categories such as Guardian Nodes and Community & Launch. Wormhole’s Future Vision With these upgrades, Wormhole aims to expand its role as…

The post Polygon, Sonic Labs co-founders slam Ethereum Foundation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tensions within the Ethereum ecosystem resurfaced after senior builders accused the Ethereum Foundation of neglecting layer 2 developers. Summary Polygon’s Sandeep Nailwal says Ethereum Foundation offers no direct support to Polygon. Sonic Labs’ Andre Cronje echoes the same concerns. Vitalik Buterin praises both Polygon and Nailwal for their impact and contributions. Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal said his loyalty to Ethereum is weakening, claiming the Ethereum Foundation has provided “no direct support” to his team despite Polygon’s long-standing role in scaling the network.  In an Oct. 21 post on X, he argued that Polygon’s (POL) work has often been dismissed by the Ethereum (ETH) community, which he believes has failed to recognize its layer 2 status even as it powers some of Ethereum’s largest applications. Nailwal says Ethereum community has become insular Nailwal stated that Polygon’s ecosystem, including networks such as Katana and XLayer, remains closely tied to Ethereum. However, he claimed the community treats Polygon’s progress as separate from Ethereum’s broader success. He added that Polygon’s market value could be “two to five times higher” if it positioned itself as a standalone layer 1 chain, rather than maintaining ties to Ethereum. Read this from Peter and realized that it’s time for me to also speak up. NGL, I’ve started questioning my loyalty toward Ethereum. I did not come into crypto because of Bitcoin but because of Ethereum. I also have a lot of gratitude toward @VitalikButerin — someone I looked up… https://t.co/yrcrGEwXs8 — Sandeep | CEO, Polygon Foundation (※,※) (@sandeepnailwal) October 20, 2025 His comments follow weeks of internal debate among Ethereum developers and founders over the foundation’s role in supporting external builders. Nailwal’s remarks echo past concerns from other contributors who have questioned how the foundation allocates grants and recognition within the ecosystem. Sonic’s Cronje raises similar concerns Andre…
