Justin Sun Says It’s “Unjust” That Ukraine Excluded Tron From Their Airdrop

March 3, 2022 by Vignesh Karunanidhi

According to different estimates, the government of Ukraine, which has received roughly $33 million in crypto contributions, has just launched an airdrop aimed at its donors.

Some, however, voiced displeasure with the fact that specific contributors appear to be unrewarded for their humanitarian assistance.

Justin Sun, the head of the Tron Foundation, expressed his displeasure revolving around Ukraine’s airdrop. “Answering to the humanitarian appeal from FedorovMykhailo, the TRON community has donated over $1.2M in USDT (TRC20), but now the airdrop ignores them completely. It is just UNFAIR. We need to fix it!”

From dropping bombs to tokens

Airdrops are hugely popular and widely used community incentive systems in the crypto sphere. Essentially, they allow projects to transfer additional tokens to their communities independently.

In most situations, users must have certain digital assets in their wallets at the moment of a snapchat (essentially a “savepoint” that saves the status of a blockchain at a certain point in time). In the instance of Ukraine, it is unclear what assets the account’s owner wants to airdrop to those who gave cryptocurrency to them.

Sun’s message received with backslashes

The crypto world predictably backlashed Sun’s Twitter message. “This is greater than airdrops” and “not a marketing effort,” according to several users.

We call every crypto company to ban #TRC20 and switch to other blockchain for stablecoin transactions @justinsuntron is a scam who wants to make money on blood https://t.co/vEM50V5vrG

Sun has previously been slammed for allegedly attempting to “shill” TRON by interfering in Ukraine’s humanitarian crises and fundraising drives.

you really dont reflect why is the whole industry hating you ?

Hyping is the only thing on your mind.

“Just f*****g swap on ftx or use a bridge,” Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko said in response to Wood’s request for a DOT address. To put it another way, you may make a donation in crypto that isn’t the crypto you created.

On the other hand, Sun claims that it isn’t about him. “It’s not for me! It is for the fact that over 5,000 individuals have [sic] given to Ukraine in the first place with no expectation of receiving anything in return!”

“Do you realize the folks you’re talking to are currently dodging actual gunfire and ducking genuine bombs??” Ichi, a Twitter user, posted about it. “And you want them to stop doing what they’re doing and give you a fucking airdrop?”

The donations are intended to help the country fend off a well-funded Russian military while relying on its partners for troop assistance. But, for better or worse, the contribution effort, coordinated by Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, has sparked a wave of online activity among cryptocurrency users.
