The proposal would impose multi-year lockups on more than 62 billion WLFI tokens and burn up to 4.5 billion tokens.

WLFI said the proposal was designed to align all participants for the long-run.

The clash marks the latest breakdown after WLFI threatened legal action and blacklisted Sun's token stake.

Token Lockups and Burns

WLFI's proposal would restructure 62.28 billion locked tokens under extended vesting schedules.

Those who don't accept the new terms stay locked indefinitely.

The plan includes a potential burn of up to 4.52 billion WLFI tokens.

The 62.28 billion tokens affected represent a substantial portion of WLFI's 100 billion total supply.

The proposal effectively kicks any meaningful supply increase down the road by at least two years.

Governance Control and Transparency

Sun questioned WLFI's governance power structure and called it a dictatorship disguised as a DAO.

Sun's wallet was blacklisted following a roughly $9 million transaction.

76% of voting power was controlled by just 10 wallets.

The combination of governance concerns and leveraged collateral activity has increased scrutiny.

WLFI-linked wallets deployed large token holdings as collateral on Dolomite.
