The proposal he highlighted centers on a “USD1 growth” initiative. He argued the sequencing matters more than the headline, questioning why the project is prioritizing this vote over a widely requested WLFI token unlock.

He further alleged late-stage voting flipped the outcome, and pointed to token allocations he said favor insiders, with 33.5% for the team and 5.85% for strategic partners versus 20% for the public sale. Watch for any response from WLFI and whether token access, voting mechanics, or on-chain transfers become more transparent as WLFI trades near $0.16.
