World Liberty Financial, the crypto project that has been teased for months by former President Trump and his sons Eric and Donald Jr., has announced a new adviser in anticipation of its launch on Monday, September 16.
Joining advisors such as Dolomite co-founder Corey Caplan will be Sandy Peng, the project announced on X. Peng is a co-founder of Scroll, the Ethereum Layer 2 network which currently ranks six out of all Ethereum L2s in terms of Total Value Locked, according to L2Beat data.
"Having been in the space since 2013, Sandy brings a wealth of experience as an blockchain investor and operator, scaling an open source project for social and economic impact to 2B dollars valuation in 3 years," the project wrote.
The announcement comes just one day before the much-hyped crypto project is set to launch on Monday September 16 at 8 p.m., according to former President Trump. "We're embracing the future with crypto and leaving the slow and outdated big banks behind," Trump said in a video posted to his X account.

While specific details surrounding World Liberty Financial remain scarce, a leaked whitepaper indicated that the project will be built on decentralized finance platform Aave and the Ethereum blockchain and center around a "credit account system." The project has also indicated that security is a top concern, while promoting the adoption of stablecoins is one core goal.
