The InterLink Foundation has launched an independent official X page, signaling a shift from corporate-style management to decentralized governance. The foundation operates as a separate entity with its own expert team, tasked with shaping the long-term strategy of the InterLink network — it does not own the network nor pursues profit, serving only as a guiding body.
Foundation Mandate: Project Review and Tech R&D
The newly established body will conduct regular audits of all network activities, prioritizing high-impact projects and phasing out poorly performing ones. Specific duties include funding developers and researchers, advancing the InterLink protocol and scaling solutions, and exploring “quantum persistence” and zero-knowledge (ZK) technologies to secure data. The foundation also plans to organize Devcon and Hackathons to gather global builders.
Nine-Month Growth: 5M Human Nodes Across 131 Countries
Data shows the InterLink network has amassed over 5 million verified users in just nine months, with 3 million daily active Human Nodes spread across 131 countries. Its core mechanism, Proof of Personhood, uses biometric facial recognition to ensure each account maps to a real human, eliminating bot manipulation at the source.
Dual-Token Economy and Airdrop: 80% Goes to Real Humans
The foundation revealed a dual-token model (ITLG and ITL) slated for Q1 2026. ITLG serves as the genesis utility asset with a total supply of 100 billion; ITL acts as a reward layer for verified holders. The system employs a base rate halving mechanism to prevent supply dilution and penalize short-term speculators. 80% of ITLG airdrops go directly to human nodes verified via facial recognition, with the remainder allocated to ecosystem development and foundation operations. This “hold-to-earn” design aims to convert short-term speculators into long-term infrastructure contributors.
Expert View: Independent Governance Is the Mainstream Path
Analysts note that InterLink’s separation from a profit-driven executive team mirrors governance structures in mature ecosystems like Polkadot and Ethereum. As the network targets 1 billion users, “quantum persistence” and ZK privacy technologies become critical. Some industry observers predict the independent framework could make the ITL token a treasury asset for global companies in 2026. However, crypto market volatility and technical risks remain; investors should conduct their own research.
