Justin Sun Presents Proposals to President Japarov to Advance Kyrgyzstan’s Vision as a Web3, AI Innovation Hub
Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic – April 20, 2026 – TRON DAO , the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), today announced that Justin Sun, founder of TRON, has presented a set of proposals to President Sadyr Japarov, fully supporting the President’s strategic vision to transform Kyrgyzstan into a regional hub for the development of virtual assets, AI and Web3 technologies. Among the proposals is support for the successful deployment and expansion of KGST, Kyrgyzstan’s national stablecoin, within the TRON ecosystem. The integration will leverage the TRON network to enable high-speed, low-cost cross-border transactions, enhancing the utility and accessibility of KGST. Additional areas of focus include strategic fintech investments, including the development of a crypto exchange and digital banking services to strengthen Kyrgyzstan’s financial technology sector. The proposals also outline advanced AI collaborations, such as the joint development of a Sovereign Large Language Model (LLM) with dedicated support for the Kyrgyz language; integration of KGST payments into the B.AI ecosystem; establishment of an AI-crypto sandbox; and the construction of data centers powered by Kyrgyzstan’s abundant hydropower resources. These initiatives aim to harness Kyrgyzstan’s educated youth, renewable energy advantages, and progressive digital policies to drive economic growth, attract international investment, and foster innovation in blockchain, AI, and fintech. “President Japarov’s forward-thinking leadership creates a unique opportunity for Kyrgyzstan to lead in the digital age,” said Sun. “We are committed to delivering concrete projects that will accelerate the country’s digital transformation and deliver real value to its people and economy.” These proposals are in line with the Kyrgyz Republic’s ongoing efforts to create an ecosystem for the development of the virtual asset market and Web3 technologies. The government is improving the regulatory framework, developing infrastructure, and expanding the range of licensed participants, demonstrating a high level of public adoption of digital assets (according to Chainalysis). Particular attention is being paid to human capital development and educational initiatives with the support of international partners. As a result, Kyrgyzstan is confidently moving toward its strategic goal of becoming a leading regional hub for virtual assets and Web3 technologies in Central Asia, open to collaboration with global industry leaders such as TRON.

DeFi TVL Plummets Across Top Chains After KelpDAO Hack
The fallout from the $293 million KelpDAO exploit over the weekend has spread across the DeFi ecosystem, with Total Value Locked (TVL) across several chains dropping significantly in the last 24 hours. According to data from on-chain analytics platform DeFiLlama, at least 126 of the networks it tracks were in the red, with CosmoHub the hardest hit, having lost more than 1,500% of its TVL in that period. A Broad-Based Retreat Across Major Chains Pseudonymous analyst Vet brought attention to the decline, writing in a post on X that TVL was going down on all the top 20 DeFi chains. “Money is exiting,” they noted, adding that people were “repricing the risk/reward.” Indeed, when CryptoPotato checked the data, we found that the pullback was widespread, although the scale varied. For example, Ethereum, the largest DeFi chain with more than 1,700 protocols, posted a 24-hour TVL dip of nearly 11%. Its nearest rival, Solana, fared relatively better, going down by just over 4% in the last day, although the change was more noticeable across one month, at 19.06%. Arbitrum, Base, and Avalanche also saw their TVL dip by 9.97%, 5.76%, and 6.61%, respectively, while Bitcoin, Tron, and BSC were the least affected among the top ten chains by TVL, with none of them taking a hit bigger than 1.6%. Meanwhile, in that group, Hyperliquid was the worst hit, shedding more than 12% of the total value of assets it held and taking its dollar worth to $1.44 billion. Outside the top 10, the losses were sharper, with Mantle, which DeFiLlama co-founder 0xngmi flagged as one of those most exposed to bad debt after the hack, alongside Base and Arbitrum, down almost 42%. Others that were heavily hit included Taiko, which lost 22% of its TVL; Monad, which went down 13.21% in 24 hours; and Berachain, which dipped by over 17%. Other Chains Made Gains The flight from risk did not reach every corner, though, with some smaller chains posting gains. One of them, Q Protocol, jumped 477% in 24 hours, with Oasys and Shibarium also in the green, gaining 90.6% and 85%, respectively. The KelpDAO hack is the worst security breach in the DeFi space so far this year. Reports say that the liquid restaking protocol lost over $293 million after an attacker took advantage of its bridge contract. LayerZero has since said that the Lazarus Group’s TraderTraitor unit was behind the attack. The post DeFi TVL Plummets Across Top Chains After KelpDAO Hack appeared first on CryptoPotato .
