Odaily News In response to the token unlock proposal released by WLFI yesterday, Sun Yuchen once again posted a critique, stating: "This is 'World Tyranny,' not 'World Free Finance.' This proposal is packaged as a 'governance alignment signal' and a 'long-term commitment,' but stripping away the packaging reveals one of the most absurd governance scams I have ever seen. I will explain point by point."Sun Yuchen further elaborated that the proposal has five major points of controversy, including:1. Opposing means being penalized—a classic coercive tactic;2. Voters have been selectively frozen;3. All actual power has been usurped by anonymous individuals;4. Voters must use real names, while the rulers remain anonymous—worse than tyranny;5. A blatant violation of property rights involving billions of dollars.Sun Yuchen concluded by saying: "I call on all WLFI holders to recognize the true nature of this proposal, express opposition on all public channels, and reserve all legal rights to pursue claims."Recommended Reading: Good news, your WLFI is about to unlock; Bad news, you have to wait until Trump retires first
According to the official WLFI announcement, World Liberty Financial has issued a governance proposal to the community, with the following key points: A total of 45.2 billion WLFI tokens held by advisors, institutions, partners, founders, and team members will adopt a “2-year lock-up period + 3-year linear vesting” schedule; participants must burn 10% of their tokens upon opting in, resulting in up to approximately 4.5 billion tokens permanently burned. Meanwhile, the 17 billion WLFI tokens held by early supporters will follow a “2-year lock-up period + 2-year linear vesting” schedule with no token burn required. Tokens not actively accepted under the new schedule will remain indefinitely locked. If approved, this proposal ensures that a total of 62.2 billion WLFI tokens will continuously participate in governance for at least two years. WLFI states this move represents one of the strongest long-term governance alignment signals in the DeFi space.

According to CoinDesk, researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara; the University of California, San Diego; blockchain security firm Fuzzland; and World Liberty Financial jointly published a paper warning that “LLM routers”—intermediary services positioned between users and AI models—have become a major threat to cryptocurrency asset security. The researchers discovered that 26 LLM routers are secretly injecting malicious tool calls and stealing user credentials, with one incident resulting in the complete draining of a customer’s cryptocurrency wallet worth $500,000. Additionally, by “poisoning” the router ecosystem, the researchers were able to gain control of approximately 400 downstream hosts within hours. Since sensitive data—including private keys and API credentials—is frequently transmitted in plaintext through these routers, users unknowingly expose their assets to risk. The researchers note that as McKinsey forecasts AI agents will mediate $3–5 trillion in global consumer commerce by 2030—and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao predicts AI agents’ payment volume will be one million times greater than that of humans—the current infrastructure’s security lags far behind the pace of industry development. The “weakest link” risk could thus trigger systemic, cascading crises.
