Sun Yuchen responds to the incident of WLFI tokens being frozen, calling for respect for the core values of blockchain
Recently, the incident of the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project party freezing hundreds of millions of dollars of tokens belonging to Sun Yuchen has continued to escalate. Not only has Sun Yuchen himself publicly spoken out, but it has also triggered extensive discussions in the cryptocurrency community regarding decentralization principles and asset autonomy.
In his statement, Sun Yuchen stated that as an early major investor in WLFI, he not only invested funds but also entrusted the project’s vision and development.
He emphasized that he, along with other community members, participated in the same way and should enjoy equal rights, while the unilateral freezing of tokens goes against the fundamental value of blockchain, which is “assets are inviolable.”
He pointed out that true decentralized finance should be built on fairness, transparency, and trust, rather than exercising centralized power through arbitrary asset freezes.
Such behavior not only harms the rights and interests of investors but may also undermine public trust in the project and the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem.
He called on the WLFI team to respect the spirit of blockchain, promptly unfreeze the tokens, and return to the original intention of jointly building a healthy ecosystem with the community.
Sun Yuchen expressed that he is still willing to work with the community to promote the development of World Liberty Financial, but the premise is that the project must adhere to the principles of decentralization and procedural justice.
This incident has also triggered industry reflection: in the pursuit of financial freedom and innovation, has the open, fair, and decentralized spirit advocated by blockchain truly been implemented?
