Justin Sun says "no" to the Trumps' proposal for World Liberty Financial

Justin Sun lashes out at World Liberty Financial after the release of its new governance proposal, calling the token lock plan a "tyranny".

The conflict between Justin Sun and the Trump family's DeFi project continues and has escalated again after World Liberty Financial (WLFI) published a new governance proposal.

Sun, founder of the TRON network and main investor in the platform with a previous injection of $75 million, has categorically rejected the WLFI 62.300 billion token unlock planThe businessman describes the initiative not as a step towards the maturity of the protocol, but as a structure designed to punish dissent and consolidate control in the hands of anonymous figures. 

The core of the ongoing dispute lies in the conditions imposed on asset holders: those who vote against the governance proposal will see their funds blocked indefinitely, with no clear way out, while those who support the plan will gain access to a phased release scheme.

Justin Sun's dispute with the presidential family project continues

This situation has escalated into an open war of words on social media. Just days after denouncing the existence of a “backdoor” in WLFI—which allows for the arbitrary blocking of funds—Sun claims that the voting process lacks legitimacy because large portfolios, including his own, which represents approximately 4% of the voting power, have been excluded from the system. 

According to statements According to the businessman on social network X, the outcome of the poll was predetermined before it began, comparing the vote to a theatrical performance where critical voices have been silenced through the freezing of their assets. 

As this media outlet reported, the tension between Sun and the project linked to the presidential family is not new, as the Tron founder's address has remained blocked since last September under accusations of breach of agreements, a charge that Sun vehemently denies.

“Decentralization” put to the test in the WLFI protocol

While Justin Sun launches his strong accusations, the WLFI team defends its governance proposal as a sign of long-term alignment needed for the stability of the protocol. 

According to the project publication, the plan It stipulates that tokens from "early backers" will enter a two-year waiting period, followed by a linear release over another two years. On the other hand, founders and advisors would face a five-year timeline, which includes the immediate burning of 10% of their allocations. 

However, critics of the proposal, including Sun, highlight significant structural risks. They cite that operational control of WLFI smart contracts rests with a multi-signature system of three out of five anonymous members and a "guardian" address capable of unilaterally blacklisting any wallet.

This operational opacity contrasts with the requirements imposed on ordinary users, because, if they want to participate in the governance vote, users must first complete processes of Identity verification (KYC) and comply with strict legal requirements. 

Sun questions the sustainability of a system where the governed are fully identified while administrators maintain complete anonymity. Furthermore, for industry analysts, this asymmetry undermines the principle of decentralization that the project purported to champion. 

Meanwhile, the market has reacted negatively to the institutional uncertainty; the WLFI token has registered a sharp drop, trading near... $0,08This represents a loss of nearly 75% in value compared to its all-time high. Furthermore, Sun's comments have also drawn criticism from the crypto community, reigniting past tensions as his continued presence in the industry remains controversial.
