Justin Sun, founder of the Tron layer-1 blockchain network, has criticised World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a platform co-founded by US President Donald Trump's sons, for lengthy lock-up periods for the platform's governance token. Sun claims that he invested significant capital in WLFI as an early investor and that a governance proposal regarding token lock-ups was lacking transparency. The criticism came amid community backlash over WLF's use of its own governance tokens as collateral for loans, leading to an all-time low in the price of the WLFA. WLFL has responded by threatening legal action against Sun.
