Tron creator noted exclusion of key voters in the project.
The proposal includes blockades, vesting and partial burning of assets.
The founder of Tron, Justin Sun, launched this April 15, 2026, harsh criticism against the new governance proposal of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), calling it a “global tyranny” and seriously questioning its legitimacy within the DeFi ecosystem.
The pronouncement It comes after the announcement of a plan that seeks to reorganize more than 62 billion tokens through prolonged blocking, progressive release and partial burning of assets, as reported by CriptoNoticias.
According to their analysis, the design of the proposal not only penalizes dissent, but also would allow key participants to be selectively excluded from the voting processaffecting the legitimacy of any result.
Sun also questioned the power structure behind the protocol, noting that Effective control would fall to anonymous management with the capacity to execute decisions. at the smart contract level, regardless of the voting result. In his opinion, this turns the model into a covert centralized structure, where chain governance functions more as a formality than as a real decision-making mechanism.
WLFI requires each participating voter to complete identity verification, electronically sign returns, and meet eligibility requirements. Do you want to exercise your rights? Show your face first.

The businessman also denounced the exclusion of certain key players from the voting process, including large token holders whose funds he claims have been frozen. This, he warns, suggests that the result of the proposal could be conditioned from the beginning, affecting the transparency and representativeness of the system.
Power in “anonymous hands”
According to your analysis, the real control of the protocol would be in a multi-signature structure whose managers have not been publicly identified, with the ability to execute decisions directly on smart contracts, even above any community vote.
Furthermore, it questions the lack of symmetry in the system’s rules: while users must undergo verification processes to participate, those who exercise control maintain anonymity. For Sun, This dynamic breaks with the basic principles of transparency and accountability that underpin the DeFi model.
The supposed governance proposals, on-chain voting and community debates are nothing more than a farce. Real power has never rested with anyone but themselves, and it is ridiculous that they would try to deceive the community with these tricks.

Finally, warned about the economic impact of the proposalespecially due to the burning of billions of tokens and the possible alteration of the rights of holders. From their perspective, these types of decisions, made under questioned conditions, represent a direct risk to the property of users and demonstrate a dangerous centralization within a system that, in theory, should be decentralized. Given this, he assured: “It is a flagrant violation of property rights for billions of dollars.”
These statements from Sun join a new dispute against the WLFI team, who on April 12 hinted that they would open legal proceedings against the creator of Tron, after accusing them of having hidden a technical function that would allow him to freeze and confiscate investor tokens without notice.
