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

InterLink Has Recorded The Highest Level Of User Activity In Its History Over the past week, @inter_link has recorded the highest level of user activity in its history, driven by a significant number of community members returning and becoming active across the network once again. Version 5.0.3 has made it easier for users to recover their progress, regain access to their accounts, and unlock referral rewards that were previously inaccessible. As more users recover and return to the ecosystem, the network becomes stronger, more active, and more decentralized. How much progress have you recovered so far, and how many referral rewards have you unlocked since upgrading to v5.0.3? This is an important milestone not only for the ecosystem but for every participant. In decentralized networks, active participation is one of the strongest indicators of long term value creation. The more people actively engage with the network, the stronger and more valuable the ecosystem becomes for everyone involved. The recent DAO 17 Recovery initiative also demonstrated one of the greatest strengths of decentralized governance. By listening to feedback from users, builders, ambassadors, node operators, and community members, @inter_link was able to adapt, improve recovery mechanisms, and help more participants reconnect with the network. Many blockchain researchers argue that decentralization is ultimately driven by participation. The more active participants a network has, the harder it becomes for any single entity to influence its direction. A larger and more engaged community naturally distributes power across a broader set of stakeholders. One of the most unique aspects of @inter_link's vision is its commitment to decentralization from the beginning. Rather than focusing on accumulating large token allocations during the early stages, the priority has been building infrastructure, technology, community growth, and real utility. Decentralization is not only about distributing nodes. It is also about distributing ownership, influence, and opportunity. A more active network is a stronger network. A stronger network is a more resilient network. And a more resilient network brings us one step closer to a truly decentralized ecosystem powered by its community. 🚀 #InterLink #ITLG #ITL

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.

Everything You Need to Know About the ITLG Staking Mechanism DAO Proposal 16 has officially reached its final result. Option 2 (Balanced Growth) was selected by the DAO community, with a ratio ranging from 1.125 ITLG / 1 ITL for the maximum 5-year lock and 120-month vesting period to 160 ITLG / 1 ITL for the minimum 0-year lock and 0-month vesting period. The final staking options were generated with the support of machine learning models, providing three balanced choices built around three core principles: • Scarcity and long-term sustainability • Sufficient circulating supply for ecosystem absorption • Protection against price manipulation However, the models did not make the final decision. The DAO community voted and determined which option would be implemented. The community chose. The protocol follows. First, it is important to understand: 🔒 Your ITLG never leaves your wallet. It remains fully usable at all times. Only ITL is subject to the selected lock and vesting schedule. Option 2 creates the most balanced approach between ecosystem expansion and long-term scarcity. It allows sufficient token flow to support real usage, payments, and ecosystem growth while still maintaining sustainable scarcity dynamics. This balance strengthens ITL’s potential to evolve into both a medium of exchange and a long-term digital reserve asset. Below are several example scenarios based on 100,000 ITLG: 📌 Example 1: 0-Year Lock 60-Month Vesting • Ratio: 60 ITLG → 1 ITL • 100,000 ITLG → ~1,667 ITL • Payout starts immediately • ~28 ITL released monthly over 60 months 📌 Example 2: 2-Year Lock 36-Month Vesting • Ratio: 21.25 ITLG → 1 ITL • 100,000 ITLG → ~4,706 ITL • Payout starts after a 2-year lock period • ~131 ITL released monthly over 36 months 📌 Example 3: 5-Year Lock 60-Month Vesting • Ratio: 1.875 ITLG → 1 ITL • 100,000 ITLG → ~53,333 ITL • Payout starts after a 5-year lock period • ~889 ITL released monthly over 60 months Important Rules 🔄 vITLG and ITLG are fundamentally the same. All current ITLG holdings will be migrated 100%. However, the migration process will occur in multiple phases over time. ✅ Full flexibility: Users can split their ITLG across multiple staking positions, each with different lock and vesting combinations. 🔓 Once ITL is locked, the schedule becomes immutable. The payout timeline is permanently written into a smart contract the moment the user confirms the staking position. It cannot be changed by anyone, including the team. Your ITLG itself remains freely usable as normal. 📅 After the lock period ends, ITL can either release immediately in full (0-month vesting) or release linearly every month over the selected vesting period. Conclusion As @inter_link accelerates toward its highly anticipated Mainnet launch, establishing a robust and sustainable token economy remains the ecosystem’s highest priority. The ITLG-to-ITL conversion model selected today is not merely a temporary mechanism. It will serve as the financial foundation of the entire ecosystem, directly influencing: • Circulating supply • Protocol liquidity • Ecosystem expansion • Long-term scarcity dynamics • And the future value potential of ITL The decisions made today will shape the sustainability, scarcity, and economic strength of the InterLink ecosystem for many years to come. #InterLink #ITLG #ITL

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: face.nist.gov/frte/reportcar… Lead investment from Google (search on Crunchbase): crunchbase.com/organization/… Or being one of the first blockchain companies invited for an interview at the NYSE: youtube.com/watch?v=Z9j79J12… 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: x.com/compose/articles/edit/… 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.

It’s no longer a rumor. Private Mainnet, ITLG Staking, Payment Point, Business Tokens, and dApp Mainnet will all launch next month. Congratulations. June 2026 will officially mark the beginning of Mainnet.
