So, we are finally preparing to enter the very first stage of Mainnet. As I shared half a year ago, InterLink has gradually transformed from a free mining app into a much larger ecosystem. And now, as we continue growing bigger, it also means there will naturally be more different opinions. Some people who own fewer tokens feel uncomfortable seeing others own more. Some people who are already verified complain that they still have not received their tokens yet. Some people who are not verified in Step 2 feel frustrated because they have not reached Step 3 yet. And some people who are still waiting for verification complain that the process is taking too long. Of course, everyone has their own reasons. Even I personally understand those feelings myself.
The original principle behind InterLink was actually built somewhat similarly to the model of the United States. (Of course, I am not talking about politics or negative issues related to Iran, Palestine, or North Korea.) There is a quote I really like and would like to share:
“We are not one single tribe.
We do not share the same bloodline, and no ancestry alone is strong enough to keep us together.
But when people choose to live by a shared ideal, no force can rival them.
Blood can divide. Ideals can unite complete strangers.
A nation built only on blood will always limit itself.
A nation built on ideals will have no limits.
We were not born to be the same.
We chose to stand together.
And it is that choice which makes us impossible to defeat.
This is proven by the very name of the mighty United States of America.”
The reality is that every individual will always have their own personal problems. However, when people are united by one shared ideal, those problems become smaller because everyone chooses to build something bigger together.
So what is the ideal behind @inter_link?
It is to democratize ownership of digital assets within a payment and real-world asset ecosystem without barriers related to nationality, finance, or knowledge.
Even in a powerful country like the United States, there will always be complaints regarding taxes, housing prices, employment, and many other things. @inter_link is no different. There will always be complaints because nobody is perfect. However, what makes the United States remain powerful is its ability to continuously welcome talented people and brilliant scientists to help build the country.
@inter_link operates in a very similar way. It does not matter what your background is or where you come from. As long as you are talented enough, you are welcome here. And one day, there will eventually be people who replace me as chairman of @itl_fdn. Those people may be more talented, more energetic, and better than me, but they will still share the same vision of contributing to @itl_fdn.
Now, regarding the operational costs of the Foundation. @itl_fdn will operate differently from organizations like the Solana Foundation or Ethereum Foundation. We do not need to sell tokens to pay engineers or researchers. There will not be any Foundation-owned tokens sold on the market during the entire Private Mainnet phase. No OTC sales to treasury partners. No VC sales.
Even without selling tokens or relying on app advertisements, InterLink still has enough funding to continue operating for at least the next 5 years. Many people mistakenly believe advertisements generate enough revenue to cover expenses. In reality, the revenue from ads currently does not even cover one-fifth of InterLink’s monthly operating costs because our conversion rate is actually quite low.
However, advertisements do serve one very important purpose: filtering bots. Google Adsense is one of the best anti-bot systems in the world.
We have been self-funded by the co-founders from the very beginning to ensure stable operations until today.
Currently, many people have reported to me that some former ambassadors, after being removed, have started spreading inaccurate information for personal purposes that may potentially harm users. Please be careful with individuals or organizations that continuously mention @Inter_link using vague community narratives because in reality these may simply be methods used to redirect users into risky or potentially fraudulent projects. I will not be responsible for any activity outside of @Inter_link because I have already issued this warning clearly.
Now, I would like to answer some common questions so everyone can better understand @inter_link.
1. Is @inter_link a scam project?
This is the question I hear the most. A scam project usually starts by asking people to invest money with the intention of taking those funds. Meanwhile, @inter_link is currently completely free, and there has never been any case where users lost money. I am proud to say that @inter_link is almost the only project that does not sell tokens or ask the community to invest in anything.
2. What is the vision of @inter_link? Is it realistic?
Initially, @inter_link focused on building a human network. However, as the ecosystem evolved, the vision expanded into building a payment and real-world asset ecosystem centered around people. The execution roadmap and development stages have already been explained very clearly in the @itl_fdn whitepaper.
In addition, @itl_fdn is proud to have one of the strongest blockchain engineering and research teams today, with nearly 100 engineers and researchers. This is more than enough to support serious long-term research and development.
3. Are the statements made by @Inter_link real?
All information regarding reaching Top 51 AI models globally according to NIST:
https://t.co/7eyxKNsu3z
Lead investment from Google (search on Crunchbase):
https://t.co/lrdFNpCwlT
Or being one of the first blockchain companies invited for an interview at the NYSE:
https://t.co/Tc3ghyJjbM
Or information regarding treasury partners — all of these already have reposts on X, public interviews, or visible proof. If those companies do not use X, they have either already appeared publicly with us or people will eventually understand once Private Mainnet launches and they begin seeing continuous token buy activity.
InterLink is a legal company in the United States, and the Foundation is legally registered in Hong Kong. Any false information can create serious damage.
This does not even include the fact that all previous product development and technology updates were publicly shared in great detail from the beginning.
4. Is Verified ITLG intentionally being delayed?
I already explained this in my previous post here:
https://t.co/auOTn0Dcez
Ensuring compliance and ecosystem security is absolutely necessary for long-term sustainability. The more compliant the ecosystem becomes, the greater the opportunities to work with billion-dollar banking and fintech companies in the future. That is one of the goals of @inter_link.
Verification priority is based on multiple metrics and ratios, especially ACS and HCS. The process will become much faster during Private Mainnet when validators begin participating.
Because the vision of @inter_link is to democratize digital asset ownership for 1 billion users, I want to make it clear that everyone will eventually have the opportunity to own InterLink tokens. There is no need to worry too much about being left behind.
5. What value will the mined tokens have?
My principle is simple: I never talk about price because doing so could be considered manipulation.
However, there are several important points:
The core team will not own tokens during Private Mainnet
Even after Open Mainnet, core team allocations will remain locked for years
The Foundation does not need to sell tokens to maintain operations
All tokens entering Private Mainnet must pass AML and compliance checks
The ecosystem requires ITL for gas fees, validator staking, business tokens, payments, and many other utilities
And I do not encourage speculation. The goal of launching the token in the early stages is to develop the ecosystem.
6. What technologies is InterLink building?
Besides technologies already publicly mentioned, InterLink is currently focusing on:
Quantum-resistant infrastructure at the highest NIST standards
A blockchain capable of scaling for payments and real-world assets with extremely low finality delay
A transaction-backed digital asset protocol, which is the first protocol in the world allowing businesses to tokenize using native tokens (InterLink Labs is currently filing patents for this technology)
Expanding hackathons and attracting developers to build dApps for ecosystem utility
Infrastructure for stablecoin payments and eventually InterLink token payments for flights, hotels, SIM cards, and more
The fact that we continuously bring in engineers and scientists shows how serious we are about investing in core technology.
These are some of the most common questions I receive. If you have more questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you everyone very much.
Private Mainnet will be one of the most important stages for the ecosystem. I hope everyone truly enjoys this journey together.
Our engineers have successfully completed the upgrade from sequential execution to parallel transaction execution.
This breakthrough increases TPS by up to 5x while significantly reducing finality time, bringing InterLink one step closer to becoming a truly high-performance blockchain infrastructure for global-scale payments and real-world assets.
At the same time, I would also like to invite top global talent to join @itl_fdn.
If you have experience at organizations such as the @ethereum foundation , @solana foundation , or have worked on parallel execution systems, high-performance blockchains, distributed systems, cryptography, AI infrastructure, or next-generation consensus architectures, please message me directly.
We are hiring world-class engineers, researchers, protocol architects, AI scientists, cryptographers, economists, and builders to help shape the future of a compliant blockchain network for 1 billion users.
InterLink Seoul Private Mainnet
Version 6.0 Coming in 06/2026
The upcoming Version 6.0 will be the most important release in the history of @inter_link and the official beginning of Mainnet after more than one year of development. Every engineer and researcher inside our ecosystem is fully focused on this milestone, and we sincerely hope everything proceeds smoothly.
For this Private Mainnet, I am honored to introduce the name “InterLink Seoul Private Mainnet” as a tribute to the Korean community. Korea is a nation that achieved extraordinary growth, rising from poverty to become one of the world’s most advanced economies through the leadership of President Park Chung-hee and the Miracle on the Han River.
I hope this name will also inspire @inter_link itself, from a small network just one year ago into one of the largest active user blockchain networks in the world today.
Here are some major features that will launch:
• ITLG staking will officially begin based on the formula approved in DAO Proposal #16. Users will also officially start receiving ITL.
• dApps will begin launching across the InterLink Ecosystem, with a target of hundreds of dApps within the first year.
• The Transaction-Backed Digital Asset Protocol will officially be introduced. Users will be able to use tokens to buy, trade, and invest in businesses across the network. Tokenizing real businesses through this type of protocol may become a world first, and we will soon announce related patents.
• Payment Points powered by InterLink Token will begin operating. Users will be able to use InterLink Token to pay for real-world goods and services.
• Users will later be able to stake into validators to help secure the network and earn additional rewards.
Users and Human Nodes are the first participants to own assets across the network. In many ways, this model resembles the early stages of Bitcoin. Bitcoin was the first financial revolution in modern history where ownership of a major digital asset initially belonged to individuals rather than institutions, unlike gold, real estate, or equities where early ownership was largely concentrated among powerful organizations.
However, as Bitcoin evolved and treasury companies emerged, many institutions accumulated large amounts of BTC while retail ownership gradually became diluted over time. During the Private Mainnet phase, InterLink Labs will officially announce several new treasury companies that have registered with the ecosystem since December.
Within this Mainnet version, we will also begin experimenting with post-quantum signatures as AI and quantum computing continue advancing rapidly. Our research team has developed quantum-resistant cryptographic approaches, and we are now working to balance both security and performance.
I also hope we can soon bring some of the world’s best engineers into the ecosystem to continue building InterLink Chain. We remain humble, open-minded, and always welcome talented builders to join @itl_fdn.
Regarding verification, I hope @scott_itlg and the entire curator team can continue accelerating the process for all users.
This is the most important milestone in the history of @inter_link. I hope we can continue building together and contribute toward creating one of the world’s largest payment and RWA networks. One day, we will be proud that we experienced both the hardships and the glory together.
Thank you to every community that has walked this journey with us.
And thank you, Korea. This one is for you.
Next week, we will officially announce the first dApp to receive investment and incubation support from @itl_fdn.
This marks the beginning of a new chapter for the InterLink ecosystem.
Our vision is to build an open, diverse, and developer-friendly ecosystem where thousands of builders can contribute, innovate, and create real value. From payments and commerce to DeFi, AI, gaming, identity, and RWA, we believe the future of InterLink will be driven by a global community of entrepreneurs, developers, and innovators.
The goal is not to build every application ourselves, but to empower others to build on top of the network. Through funding, incubation, technical support, infrastructure, and ecosystem resources, we aim to help the next generation of dApps scale faster and reach millions of users.
Could @inter_link Become the Nasdaq/NYSE of Web3?
Recently, we have seen prices across many asset classes decline, including gold, cryptocurrencies, and other financial assets.
One of the key reasons is that a significant amount of global capital is flowing into the upcoming IPOs of major AI companies on the world's leading stock exchanges, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq. Companies such as @OpenAI , @AnthropicAI , and @SpaceX continue to attract enormous investor attention.
An IPO is an extremely rigorous process involving audits of financial statements, technology, legal structures, shareholder ownership, compliance, and many other areas. However, it is also one of the most powerful wealth creation mechanisms in the world. Combined, NYSE and Nasdaq represent approximately $74 trillion in market capitalization. To put that into perspective, Bitcoin's market capitalization is only a fraction of that amount.
The challenge is that over 99% of businesses worldwide are SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises). Most of them will never have the resources, scale, or financial capability required to complete a traditional IPO due to its complexity, cost, and regulatory burden.
This is where InterLink is taking a different approach by introducing a new concept: tokenized business offerings.
Through InterLink's infrastructure, businesses can tokenize a portion of their economic value and create digital assets backed by real business activity. In many ways, this can be viewed as a decentralized alternative to traditional capital formation. Businesses can issue tokens that represent value generated by their operations and build sustainable ecosystems around real revenue and real economic activity.
Participants have significantly more flexibility compared to traditional public markets, while businesses gain access to capital and community support without navigating the lengthy and expensive IPO process.
Calling InterLink the "Nasdaq or NYSE of Web3" today would certainly be an exaggeration. However, it represents a long-term vision that the InterLink team is actively pursuing.
We believe that asset tokenization will become one of the most important trends between now and 2030. InterLink is already developing and seeking protection for its Transaction-Backed Digital Asset Protocol, while building the infrastructure and public SDKs that allow businesses to seamlessly integrate into the ecosystem.
Our goal is simple: make it possible for businesses to tokenize value and participate in the digital economy with only a few clicks.
With the upcoming Seoul Private Mainnet launch, the community will soon be able to experience this vision firsthand. Over time, we hope to see hundreds of businesses building and launching digital assets on InterLink.
The journey ahead is still long.
But if we continue building, improving, and progressing every day, one day we may look back and be incredibly proud of what we have created together.
Learning from Wall Street and Bringing Nasdaq-Level Financial Infrastructure Onchain. The Long-Term Vision of InterLink.
In my previous post, I asked a simple question:
"Could @inter_link become the Nasdaq/NYSE of Web3?"
Today, I'd like to dive deeper into the vision and infrastructure that could make such a future possible.
Yesterday, we saw the release of a small update, v5.0.4, enabling users to purchase mobile top-up cards with crypto. At first glance, this may seem like a minor feature. In reality, it represents one of the first building blocks of a much larger payment infrastructure that could eventually support tokenized asset listings and on-chain capital markets.
Before you can build infrastructure for tokenized equities, you first need robust payment infrastructure.
So how is @inter_link approaching this?
Let's take a simple example: purchasing a SIM card with USDT. In the future, the same infrastructure could be used for airline tickets, hotel bookings, travel services, and much more.
The process begins with Wallet and Payment infrastructure integrated into ITLX and connected to blockchain networks. Next comes a real-time Payment Gateway that tracks every stage of the payment lifecycle. An Oracle and Pricing Engine then retrieves live USDT/USD exchange rates to determine the correct conversion value.
From there, the system connects to fiat settlement networks such as ACH, SEPA, SWIFT, and local banking rails. Fiat is settled and ultimately delivered to service providers such as airlines, hotels, telecom companies, ticketing platforms, and merchants.
This is the simplest form of a crypto-to-commerce infrastructure that enables digital assets to be used seamlessly in the real economy.
But what about building an on-chain stock exchange?
(InterLink is studying and rebuilding some of the most successful financial infrastructure concepts ever developed on Wall Street, then bringing those concepts onto programmable on-chain infrastructure)
1. Settlement: From T+2 to Seconds
Nasdaq has built one of the most successful financial infrastructures in the world. Its settlement process prioritizes security and reliability through multiple layers of clearing and reconciliation across brokers, custodians, and financial institutions.
InterLink learns from this model while exploring how blockchain can streamline the process. Using Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus with four phases — Propose, Verify, Lock, and Finalize — transactions can reach final settlement within seconds.
This is not about replacing traditional finance. It is about leveraging modern technology to reduce complexity while preserving trust and security.
2. Clearinghouse: Bringing DTCC Logic On-Chain
For decades, institutions such as DTCC have played a vital role in maintaining ownership records, processing transfers, and supporting global capital markets.
InterLink’s RWA Protocol takes inspiration from this proven framework. Acting as a Layer 2 clearing infrastructure, it explores how ownership records, settlements, and asset transfers can be managed through transparent and programmable smart contracts.
The underlying principles remain the same. Blockchain simply introduces a new way to implement them.
3. Order Books: AMMs as Always-On Liquidity
Traditional exchanges rely on market makers to provide continuous liquidity and efficient price discovery.
InterLink expands on this concept through protocol-level Automated Market Makers (AMMs) operating at Layer 2. Liquidity pools can remain available 24/7, enabling continuous access to markets while complementing existing liquidity models.
Rather than viewing this as a replacement for traditional market makers, it can be seen as an additional liquidity layer enabled by blockchain technology.
4. Asset Valuation: Connecting Real Revenue to Token Value
Public companies listed on Nasdaq are valued based on business performance, revenue growth, and long-term fundamentals. This principle remains one of the strongest foundations of modern capital markets.
InterLink’s Transaction-Backed Digital Asset Protocol explores how real economic activity can be reflected more directly within digital asset ecosystems. As transaction volume and business activity grow, liquidity can deepen and market signals may respond more dynamically.
The goal is not to reinvent finance. The goal is to learn from proven systems such as Nasdaq and DTCC while using blockchain technology to build a more transparent, efficient, and accessible financial infrastructure for the future.
The bigger picture is that InterLink is not trying to become another Nasdaq, nor is it attempting to copy the NYSE. The vision is to study the most successful financial infrastructure ever built, learn from over a century of innovation on Wall Street, and combine those lessons with blockchain technology to create a new generation of programmable financial infrastructure.
Traditional markets spent decades perfecting systems for payments, settlement, clearing, liquidity, custody, and capital formation. Blockchain gives us the opportunity to reimagine parts of that infrastructure for a digital-first world.
The path forward is becoming increasingly clear: build payment infrastructure first, connect crypto with real economic activity, create infrastructure for businesses, enable tokenized assets, and gradually lay the foundation for a truly on-chain digital economy.
At the same time, we continue to invest heavily in people. Technology alone is not enough. Building this vision requires world-class engineers, researchers, economists, and infrastructure specialists. That is why InterLink continues to recruit top talent and invest in human capital as one of its highest priorities.
In the end, great infrastructure is not built by code alone. It is built by exceptional people with the ambition, discipline, and long-term commitment to create systems that can serve millions — and eventually billions — of users around the world.
Digital assets are truly aligned with the principles of decentralization when everyone has the opportunity to own and use them, regardless of social status, wealth, gender, nationality, or background. InterLink is no exception.
We believe the future of digital assets should be open, inclusive, and accessible to everyone.
Something big is about to happen…
@scott_itlg@reina_itl
8 Million People Sharing One Vision and One Big Dream.
Looking back at my pinned post at 4M users, now we have doubled that number.
And it has been a journey that feels very long.
It is the effort of the entire core team, ambassadors, and the Linker community, all sharing, believing, and moving together. I am very proud to have contributed a small part to that whole journey.
I have never said that @inter_link will make everyone millionaires or billionaires, that @inter_link will definitely surpass Bitcoin.
I am just a normal person with belief in a decentralized economy, helping everyone be able to own a valuable digital asset. Regardless of wealth, geography, gender, age, or knowledge. There may be times in this journey when we all have different opinions, times of disagreement, times of frustration, however for me a revolution does not fail because it runs out of money, not because of doubt in each other, but because if we never give up and stay consistent with that direction. One day it will definitely succeed.
I myself am not from a community development or KOL background. I come from a background strong in mathematics and programming and have a medal in the International Olympiad in Informatics. I have also never considered myself a great boss or leader. I am simply a contributor to @inter_link, to build together with everyone a vision of a blockchain strong enough in infrastructure and legal compliance for 1 billion users to make payments and access real-world assets. In that journey I believe as long as we have enough determination and work non-stop we will definitely succeed, if not this way then another way. @inter_link needs to understand where its strength lies. All the major organizations that support, invest in, or recognize and cooperate with @inter_link such as National Institute of Standards and Technology, Google for Startups, New York Stock Exchange, Visa, Mastercard come from a solid technology foundation and a well-structured strategic vision, not from community building ability or empty marketing. Therefore we need to know where our strength is to continue developing.
Recently many people asked me whether facing too many mixed opinions about InterLink makes me lose motivation. Actually from the first day InterLink has faced this every day and I feel this is completely normal. In the past I would immediately do AMAs to explain each question because I thought that proved responsibility. Or with baseless criticism or false accusations about me or @inter_link we could completely ask the legal team of @inter_link to intervene. However later I realized that no matter how well you do there will always be people who like you and people who do not. If we keep focusing on these endless debates, we will lose all energy on these things and cannot focus on bigger goals. So between supporters and skeptics, you just need to do your best and focus on the project so that supporters receive the rewards they deserve and feel proud to be part of the journey. As for skeptics, I believe everyone has the ability to judge right and wrong and I should not and do not have the responsibility to convince them this is the best opportunity they have.
After the InterLink Foundation Whitepaper launch, there is one detail that I think everyone can recognize and it is the most important. @inter_link is now transforming from a free mining app into a blockchain ecosystem that meets both legal and performance requirements. It is like before we were a boat on a river and now this boat must go out to the ocean. The ocean has more opportunities but also more waves and it may take more time to prepare. But I think it is worth it. Everything now compared to 6 months ago is much clearer. If 6 months ago we were just a trusted human network, now we have become a legally compliant blockchain network focused on payments and real-world assets. Step by step starting from InterLink Blockchain Testnet, then building smart contracts and dApps, then moving to Private Mainnet and finally open mainnet for validator nodes worldwide to join the network. At that time we will have all three elements: regulatory compliance, quantum-resistant and scalable infrastructure, and a large dApp and user network. And that is when we stand on the top of the mountain and look back at the whole journey.
Before I used to say “Free does not mean worthless, it means fearless.” If fear controls you, you cannot do anything. To achieve something we must have confidence in what we are doing and stay consistent with it. If we climb a mountain but always fear falling, then we should stay below and watch the best climbers conquer it. Stepping out of the comfort zone is never easy. With @inter_link, if you also have a big vision and are not afraid of any difficulty, let’s continue to work and move together on the journey ahead. And see how big things always come from small actions today.
Once again, congratulations to all of us. Our efforts and contributions are becoming more and more visible and clear.
The journey to becoming one of the largest blockchain networks in the world has only just begun…
Hi everyone,
We’re now just a few days away from the Seoul Private Mainnet event. I know many of you are feeling a mix of excitement, anticipation, and maybe even a little nervousness. I feel the same way. This will be one of the most important milestones in @inter_link’s journey.
Over the past year, we’ve grown together. What started as a simple mining app with face verification and a few basic games has evolved into the foundation of a real payment ecosystem and a growing Real-World Asset infrastructure. None of this would have been possible without this incredible community. InterLink has reached this point because it was built by people who believed in the vision and stood alongside the core team from the very beginning.
If there were times over the past year when my words or actions were not appropriate, I sincerely apologize and will continue learning from those experiences. My only goal has always been to help build the best possible project for all of us.
As we move into the Mainnet era with both ITLG and ITL, I’d also like to make one thing clear: I never encourage anyone to buy or sell tokens. Every investment decision should be your own. Our responsibility is to stay focused on research, engineering, and building the strongest ecosystem possible.
There are two core priorities that @itl_fdn will focus on during the next major phase.
1. Building world-class blockchain infrastructure.
Our first priority is expanding the validator network to provide high performance, minimal latency, and virtually unlimited scalability as adoption grows. At the same time, we are investing in NIST-standard post-quantum cryptography. AI models are advancing at an incredible pace, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that breaking today’s cryptographic algorithms is a matter of when, not if. Digital assets cannot be considered truly secure if they remain vulnerable to future quantum attacks. Security must always evolve ahead of the threat.
2. Accelerating the dApp ecosystem.
We’ve already seen @linkersmap become the first ecosystem dApp, and many more will follow with support from @itl_fdn. I will continue encouraging developers, founders, and entrepreneurs to build on InterLink’s infrastructure. The more useful applications the ecosystem has, the more demand and utility InterLink Token will naturally gain.
The InterLink Business Token Exchange will also become a major pillar of the ecosystem. Our goal is to build a platform that is real-time, transaction-backed, highly secure, and designed with compliance from day one. We also intend to pursue patent protection for several of our technologies this year. Real-World Assets are still in their early stages, but we believe a dedicated Real-World Asset Exchange can become one of the strongest growth engines for the entire ecosystem. Our ambition is to build one of the world’s leading RWA exchanges, and we will dedicate everything we have to making that vision a reality.
The Seoul Private Mainnet is not the finish line. It is only the beginning.
There are many exciting milestones still ahead of us. If we continue building together, supporting one another, and staying focused on the long-term vision, I truly believe there is nothing we cannot achieve.
Let’s take the next step together. 🚀
Everything is ready. We are about to enter a new era.
Comment the exact launch date of the InterLink Seoul Private Mainnet below.

Good luck everyone. 💙🚀
Every ITL Paid in Trading Fees on IBTE Will Be Burned. 🔥
To me, RWA is one of the most sustainable long-term trends of the next decade, alongside AI. According to McKinsey, the RWA market could reach approximately $2 trillion by 2030.
So where does InterLink fit into this picture?
Today, tokenizing a technology company is still extremely difficult, almost impossible for businesses that lack strong legal and regulatory resources. InterLink Business Token Exchange (IBTE) changes that by allowing businesses of any size to tokenize themselves directly on their own blockchain. This is something that very few platforms have been able to offer.
Today, when a company wants to tokenize, it usually relies on someone else’s infrastructure. For example, Ondo Finance tokenizes assets on Ethereum. InterLink, however, aims to provide the entire stack, from business token consulting and deployment to blockchain infrastructure, AMM, and protocol support. Everything is designed as a complete end-to-end workflow, enabling any business to issue and list its token within a single ecosystem.
What about ITL?
ITL will be the asset used to invest in these business tokens, rather than using stablecoins from Tether, Circle, or any other native token. ITL will also be used to pay gas fees, invest in business tokens, provide liquidity, and pay exchange fees. In addition, all fees collected by IBTE will be permanently burned, helping protect ITL against inflation and positioning it as a long-term store of value.
Over the past few days, I’ve noticed that many people on X have been focusing almost entirely on buying and selling ITL. Of course, @itl_fdn cannot prevent this because once the tokens have been distributed, every holder has the freedom to use them as they wish. However, I don’t think the focus should be on speculation alone.
At this stage, ITL still does not fully reflect the vision or the ecosystem that can be built around it in the future. Most OTC trading today is simply based on agreements between buyers and sellers. It does not represent the real value that ITL can create through actual utility.
ITL is meant to power the ecosystem, to be used across dApps, to pay gas fees, to make payments, to invest in business tokens, and even to be staked by validators securing the network. It was never designed to be just another speculative asset.
Please help us report fake accounts like these that are harming the project and misleading the community.
At this time, only the following accounts are official InterLink Core Team accounts:

Preparing for the Explosive Growth of the InterLink Ecosystem Through dApps
The Next Direction of the InterLink Foundation
It has now been exactly two weeks since the launch of the Seoul Private Mainnet. During this period, most people have focused on experiencing token transfers, receiving tokens, and a few basic features.
Now is the time when the real race begins.
As we said six months ago, InterLink has been strategically transitioning from a free mining model to a more sustainable ecosystem model. With this direction, InterLink will be able to grow faster and deliver stronger real-world utility than any other project. Although this decision requires significantly more resources—from building blockchain infrastructure that can scale to support a massive user base, to ensuring security through DevOps and security engineers, and allocating resources to build and develop dApps across the ecosystem—we believe it is worth trying. If we never take on a challenge big enough, we will only limit our own potential.
This month, dApps will begin to be developed, with a series of applications launching directly on the InterLink Private Mainnet. Going forward, we will place increasing focus on developing practical applications across the ecosystem.
Many people have asked me about the OTC market over the past few weeks.
As I said from the very beginning, the OTC market is not managed by the InterLink Foundation. It is a free market. InterLink does not participate in it, nor does it own any ITL tokens that could be used to influence this market.
The OTC price also does not fully reflect the true value of ITL. It is simply the result of willing buyers and willing sellers reaching an agreement, and it should not be considered an official price.
At the current stage of the OTC market, almost none of the major roadmap items of the InterLink Foundation have been officially announced or launched, including the InterLink Business Token Exchange (IBTE), Payment Points, ecosystem dApps, the post-quantum infrastructure, and many other initiatives. Therefore, the current OTC price carries very little meaning and does not yet reflect anything about the actual value of the project.
The combination of dApps and the InterLink Business Token Exchange (IBTE) will create a very strong relationship for every business token within the ecosystem. The objective is already very clear. Now, the only question is how quickly we can execute it.
The InterLink Foundation is committed to dedicating all of its resources to supporting qualified dApp owners by providing them with the best possible conditions to build successfully and contribute to the overall success of the network.
The continuous growth of dApps will gradually build a strong decentralized economy for InterLink, where users can do far more than simply hold their tokens after receiving them. Instead, they will be able to use ITL across a wide range of real-world use cases and applications, supported by a diverse ecosystem of powerful and compelling utilities. This is the foundation of our long-term vision: an ecosystem where utility drives adoption, adoption drives activity, and activity creates sustainable value for the entire InterLink network.
And with a pace of development that we believe will surpass any blockchain ecosystem today, I believe that one day the value of ITL will truly reflect its full potential and its role in the decentralization revolution.
