The Interlink Network airdrop KYC window is narrowing. Users must complete verification by April 19 to claim $ITLG tokens and migrate them on-chain. Users who skip KYC can still buy ITL via OTC markets, but they will lose direct claim and migration access.
KYC Countdown: April 19 Cutoff
According to official X posts, off-chain mined $ITLG requires KYC and on-chain migration before broader use. The platform has not disclosed a firm listing date or TGE schedule, only confirming that verified users will receive distribution on April 19. Many users have reported delays, stuck screens, and missing notifications during verification. Officials say all users will eventually be verified, but the current experience remains uneven.
New Chairman KV and the ‘Taj Mahal’ Testnet
The Interlink Foundation appointed KV as Chairman following an internal vote. KV previously helped build Human Network, which has amassed over 7 million users. The Foundation said KV will steer strategies around digital asset ownership, peer-to-peer payments, and real-world assets. KV revealed that the first testnet phase, named InterLink Testnet Taj Mahal, will launch soon, honoring India—the network's largest community. The testnet will stress a four-layer design, from biometric identity to payment rails. V5.1 will introduce the private mainnet launch.
Dual-Token Model and Security Upgrade
Interlink operates a dual-token model (ITLG and ITL). vITLG may gain real staking value on mainnet, making security critical. The Interlink App V5.1 update will add two-factor authentication via Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator, providing an extra security layer before migration. In V5.0, the platform shifted to curator-based KYC, ranking miners by Human Credit Score, referrals, and mining performance. Interlink pitches itself as a human-first chain using facial and biometric checks for Proof of Personhood.
Compliance Framework and Institutional Holdings
Interlink claims to follow Hong Kong's AMLO, the SFC VASP framework, and FATF Recommendation 15 (the Travel Rule). It also asserts that seven institutions in the US, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai hold the token as treasury assets. If verification bottlenecks ease, future demand may draw attention. User replies show support for KV's appointment but frustration with KYC delays—many worry about missing the April 19 cutoff. The platform is advancing on multiple fronts: KYC, governance, testnet, and private mainnet. The near-term sentiment may hinge on whether users clear the deadline more than any single announcement.
