Justin Sun, founder of Tron, has been officially elected as the prime minister of Liberland, a self-proclaimed micronation located between Croatia and Serbia. This announcement was made by the sovereign state on Tuesday.
Alongside Sun, entrepreneur Evan Luthra and journalist Jillian Godsil have also been elected to serve in Congress. The statement from Liberland highlighted that both Sun and Luthra are newcomers but have a strong background as accomplished entrepreneurs in the crypto space.
Liberland utilized a blockchain-based election system for this recent election, ensuring a transparent and algorithmic process. This innovative approach aims to eliminate doubts regarding election outcomes, a common issue in many countries.
Founded in 2015 by Czech politician Vít Jedlička, Liberland was the first country to adopt Bitcoin (BTC) as its official currency. The government operates on a decentralized online platform, allowing residents to actively participate in governance.
From 2021 to 2023, Justin Sun served as the Permanent Representative of Grenada to the World Trade Organization (WTO). Despite this role, he continues to use the title H.E. (His Excellency) on his official accounts.
