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.

Building Business Infrastructure on Blockchain: InterLink’s Vision to Become the Stock Exchange of the Blockchain Economy For more than 200 years, traditional stock exchanges have served as the infrastructure layer connecting businesses, investors, capital, and economic growth. Companies raise capital, expand operations, create jobs, and generate value through markets such as the NYSE and Nasdaq. Today, these exchanges represent tens of trillions of dollars in market value and have become the foundation of the modern global economy. However, despite the digital transformation of almost every industry, the process of business formation, fundraising, ownership management, and value transfer remains largely dependent on centralized systems, intermediaries, geographic limitations, and regulatory barriers. The world has entered the internet era, but capital markets still operate using infrastructure designed decades ago. Blockchain technology creates an opportunity to rethink this model entirely. @inter_link was created with a vision that extends far beyond being another blockchain network. The goal is to build the infrastructure layer that allows businesses to operate, raise capital, manage ownership, conduct transactions, and interact with customers directly on blockchain networks. Just as Nasdaq became the exchange of the internet era, @inter_link aims to become the exchange infrastructure of the blockchain era. In the future, millions of businesses may issue digital assets representing ownership, utility, revenue-sharing rights, memberships, rewards, or ecosystem participation. These assets can move globally in seconds, operate 24/7, and interact directly with users without relying on traditional financial intermediaries. This transformation is often referred to as tokenization. Today, stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities, intellectual property, loyalty programs, and even business revenue streams can potentially be represented digitally on blockchain networks. Industry analysts estimate that the tokenized asset market could reach trillions of dollars over the coming decades as traditional financial systems gradually merge with blockchain infrastructure. @inter_link is positioning itself at the center of this transition. Rather than focusing solely on payments or speculation, the ecosystem is being designed to support real economic activity. Businesses can launch Business Tokens, build decentralized applications, connect with customers, create new digital economies, and participate in a growing blockchain marketplace. The long-term vision is simple but ambitious: create a network where businesses are able to build, operate, and grow entirely on blockchain infrastructure. In this model, Business Tokens become digital representations of economic activity. Developers build applications that generate utility. Users participate in ecosystems that create value. Validators secure the network. Human Nodes own and support the infrastructure. Together they create a decentralized economy that extends beyond traditional financial systems. This is why decentralization remains one of the most important principles of @inter_link. Traditional systems often depend on centralized databases, institutions, and intermediaries. @inter_link seeks to distribute ownership, participation, and value creation across the entire ecosystem. The objective is not simply efficiency. The objective is resilience, transparency, accessibility, and long-term sustainability. If blockchain becomes the infrastructure of the future digital economy, businesses will require a platform where they can launch assets, attract communities, access liquidity, and interact with global markets. That is the opportunity @inter_link is pursuing. The vision is not merely to create another cryptocurrency. The vision is to build the foundational infrastructure where businesses, applications, communities, and digital assets can coexist and grow together on blockchain networks. Just as stock exchanges became the backbone of industrial and internet-age economies, @inter_link aspires to become the backbone of the blockchain economy. The future may not be built solely by governments, banks, or technology companies. It may be built by decentralized networks connecting millions of businesses and billions of users worldwide. @inter_link intends to be one of the infrastructures that makes that future possible. #InterLink #ITLG #ITL

Wall Street Is Moving Financial Infrastructure Onchain. What's Next for InterLink? Wall Street is not just tokenizing assets anymore. It is beginning to move the underlying infrastructure of financial markets onchain. The recent decision by S&P Dow Jones Indices to tokenize its iBoxx US Treasuries Index on the Canton Network is a significant milestone. While many people focus on tokenized stocks, bonds, or real estate, the larger story is that benchmark data itself is now being delivered through blockchain infrastructure. For decades, financial institutions have relied on centralized databases, data vendors, and proprietary systems to access market information. Blockchain introduces a different model where assets, market data, ownership records, compliance rules, and settlement systems can exist within a shared digital environment. This is particularly important for US Treasuries, which are increasingly becoming the foundation of tokenized finance. Today, tokenized Treasury products represent the largest segment of the global RWA market and continue to attract significant institutional interest because they combine the stability of government debt with the efficiency of blockchain infrastructure. However, tokenization is only one piece of the puzzle. The real challenge is creating the infrastructure that allows billions of dollars of real world assets to move securely between businesses, institutions, applications, and users. Assets need trusted ownership records. Businesses need verifiable identities. Regulators require compliance frameworks. Developers need infrastructure to build applications. Markets require liquidity and discovery mechanisms. This is where ecosystems like @inter_link can play an important role. For real world assets to be tokenized at scale, there must be a trusted digital identity layer connecting people, businesses, merchants, organizations, and institutions. Without trusted identity, the value of tokenization remains limited because participants cannot easily verify who they are interacting with. @inter_link is building infrastructure that can support this future through verified human identity, business verification, payments, decentralized applications, and a growing ecosystem of real world utility. Imagine a future where: • Businesses can tokenize ownership, revenue streams, memberships, loyalty programs, or real world assets. • Verified merchants can issue digital assets linked to real economic activity. • Users can discover, trade, purchase, and interact with tokenized products through applications built on the ecosystem. • Payments, settlements, reputation, and identity are connected through a common infrastructure. • Developers can launch applications that bridge traditional business activity with blockchain technology. Tokenization will not be limited to government bonds, stocks, or financial products. Over time, it could extend to businesses, intellectual property, memberships, services, rewards programs, commercial agreements, and many other forms of value. The winners of the next decade may not be the platforms that simply tokenize assets. They may be the ecosystems that provide the identity, payment, application, and business infrastructure necessary for those assets to be useful in the real world. Wall Street is showing us that the future is moving onchain. The next step is ensuring that real people, real businesses, and real economic activity can move onchain as well. #InterLink #ITLG #ITL

🌐 Interlink - A Macroeconomic Model in the Digital Age. Starting with free mining activities, Interlink is gradually implementing a comprehensive macroeconomic structure to promote a network that can operate as a digital financial platform. While most other projects leverage the blockchain concept to raise user capital, Interlink integrates blockchain technology into real-world operations. This difference allows Interlink to transcend the Web 3 framework, making it a bridge between the Web 3 concept and the real economy. With a clearly designed structure from the outset, users can receive Interlink Tokens through their mining activities and use them to spend, accumulate, and invest within the Interlink economy. Combined with an on-chain asset issuance protocol tied to transaction volume, the platform can scale further to enterprise and merchant levels, while users have full control over how they use their assets based on the services provided by these businesses. The formation of the Interlink economy will truly begin when the private Interlink Chain L1 is deployed later this month. Over time, as more on-chain $ITL payment points are deployed, the value of the users' own assets will increase. Using $ITL to buy a phone or a car within the ecosystem is all there is to it? No, in the future, $ITL will be promoted as a means of payment in real life, and users can spend $ITL on their daily consumption needs through ITLX - Visa/MasterCard. The Interlink platform has more potential than you think. #Interlink #ITL #ITLG
