Every Great Success Is Built on a Set of Uncompromising Rules

There is one thing that is certain: nothing is ever certain.

Success is uncertain. Failure is uncertain as well. However, throughout that journey, we must have a set of uncompromising rules as the foundation for long-term success, and @itl_fdn is no exception.

As Chairman of @itl_fdn, I have established the following rules:

1. In terms of our overall direction, every member of the InterLink Foundation must always respect our users. We do not treat them merely as customers, but as companions on this journey. We must never hide the truth, and we will never tolerate any behavior that seeks personal gain at the expense of the community.
2. Working hard is mandatory. There is no room for showing off, seeking attention, or attending meaningless events. The core of every innovation and every breakthrough must come from hard work.
3. ITL is an asset that belongs to everyone. It does not belong to the Foundation, InterLink Labs, the core team, ambassadors, or any individual. No single person has the right to control its future. Every decision must always put the interests of InterLink above any personal interest.
4. The mission of ITL is not only to build one of the world’s leading payment and Real World Asset ecosystems, but also to democratize digital asset ownership for everyone around the world, including one billion users.

Ten million users may seem like a huge milestone, but it is not when our vision is one billion users. It represents only 1% of our ultimate goal.

Therefore, on the occasion of celebrating 10 million Linkers, I have the following requests:

1. @scott_itl, please focus on accelerating the verification process, with particular priority given to Level 3 verification and migration during this period, especially throughout this week and next week as we celebrate the 10 million users milestone.
2. @inter_link Labs, please focus on completing the buyback mechanism after the proposal has been approved by @itl_fdn. The mechanism should be completed before August 6, 2026.
3. Regarding the ITL acquired through the buyback, the final decision belongs to the InterLink Labs core team. However, I encourage you to organize a special appreciation event for the first 10 million Linkers who believed in and supported InterLink from the beginning.

In the near future, several major partnership announcements between @itl_fdn and leading organizations will be revealed. Our goal is to connect InterLink more deeply with the global financial ecosystem. At the same time, our dApps will continue to develop rapidly, allowing InterLink to become one of the most active and effective foundations in the world today.

InterLink Labs Is Preparing a Reverse Auction Buyback Mechanism

As part of its long-term treasury strategy, @inter_link Labs is preparing to launch a Reverse Auction Buyback mechanism for the community.

Unlike traditional buybacks where the organization announces a fixed purchase price, this mechanism allows the market itself to determine the most efficient price through a transparent submission process.

The proposed workflow is as follows:

Step 1. Submit Your Offer

Community members who wish to sell ITL will submit a form containing:

• The amount of ITL they want to sell.
• Their asking price per ITL.

Step 2. Deposit Verification

To prevent spam and fake submissions, each participant will deposit 0.1 ITL by sending it to the official InterLink Labs Treasury wallet.

This small deposit serves only as proof that the submission is genuine.

Step 3. Submit Transaction Information

After completing the transfer, users will provide:

• The transaction hash (TxHash) of the 0.1 ITL deposit.
• Their BEP20 USDT wallet address, which will be used if their offer is accepted.

Step 4. Reverse Auction Selection

After the submission period ends, InterLink Labs will review all offers.

Rather than purchasing from everyone, the treasury may select offers based on the reverse auction mechanism, prioritizing the most efficient prices while considering the available treasury budget.

Selected participants will receive USDT directly to the BEP20 wallet they submitted.

This mechanism is designed to create a transparent, market-driven buyback process while ensuring that every submission is verifiable and resistant to spam.

More technical details, including the official treasury wallet, submission form, auction schedule, and settlement timeline, will be announced before the system goes live.

Beyond simply repurchasing ITL, this mechanism represents a healthier way to manage treasury assets within the InterLink ecosystem.

Instead of relying on arbitrary buyback prices or over-the-counter negotiations, every participant competes under the same transparent rules. The market determines the most efficient selling price, allowing the treasury to maximize the value of every dollar it spends while reducing manipulation and speculation.

Over the long term, the Reverse Auction mechanism can become a sustainable treasury management tool for the entire ecosystem. As more organizations, dApps, and business tokens launch on @inter_link, they will be able to repurchase ITL from the open market using the same transparent process instead of requesting token allocations from the Foundation.

This creates a stronger economic cycle where organizations become financially independent, treasury decisions become measurable and accountable, and buy pressure is generated through real economic activity rather than token issuance. Ultimately, the value of ITL is supported by organizations willing to spend real capital to accumulate the asset, creating a healthier and more sustainable ecosystem for everyone.

InterLink’s Early Vision for NIST-Standardized Post-Quantum Cryptography

Within the next five years, whether a digital asset is truly secure or not will have a much clearer answer. It will no longer be something complicated or difficult to understand. Ultimately, it will come down to one critical factor: whether it is quantum-resistant according to NIST standards.

Speaking of NIST, most InterLink users are probably already familiar with it. Our Human AI Model is currently ranked #51 globally, and NIST is one of the most important institutions under the U.S. Department of Commerce responsible for developing and evaluating standards related to post-quantum cryptography.

The rapid development of AI models today is raising serious concerns about their ability to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. At the same time, advances in quantum computing are bringing the potential threat of breaking today's cryptographic algorithms to a level of concern greater than ever before.

Recent experiments and research from Google have demonstrated that what was once considered practically impossible, using quantum computing to threaten the cryptographic security underlying networks such as Bitcoin, is increasingly becoming a risk that cannot simply be ignored.

This means that digital assets and blockchain networks that do not actively research, prepare for, and implement post-quantum cryptographic protection could eventually face serious security risks. In a future where sufficiently powerful quantum computers exist, vulnerabilities in existing cryptographic systems could potentially be exploited by attackers, putting assets stored on those networks at risk.

InterLink Foundation has been conducting research into digital signatures and cryptographic algorithms, and we have already achieved several important early results.

Our research includes mechanisms that allow new private keys to be generated from an existing seed phrase. At the same time, through the Address Alias mechanism, users can retain their existing wallet addresses together with all associated tokens and NFTs while migrating to a new cryptographic security architecture.

InterLink Foundation is also implementing SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s (FIPS 205) within IRC smart contracts to provide an additional layer of post-quantum protection for vaults and high-value digital assets.

We are currently conducting these experiments on the InterLink Taj Mahal Testnet, and so far, our experimental implementations have successfully passed the NIST-based simulation tests we are conducting.

Our goal is to fully integrate this architecture into the InterLink Open Mainnet in 2027, bringing InterLink closer to becoming one of the world's most secure blockchain networks built around post-quantum cryptographic standards established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The future of digital asset security is becoming increasingly clear.

In the quantum era, security will not only be about protecting your private key. It will be about whether the cryptography protecting that key was built to survive quantum computing.

🎁 The 10 Million Linkers milestone celebration will feature a series of special events:

- Reverse Auction Buyback: InterLink Labs will use its own funds to conduct a buyback through a reverse-auction mechanism.

- Rewards for the First 10 Million Users: Every user among the first 10 million Linkers will receive a special gift as a token of appreciation for their trust and support since the beginning.

- Global Meetup Series: Offline events will be held in cities worldwide, where @inter_link will share its upcoming vision and roadmap while giving Linkers opportunities to meet and connect.

- INTERLINK VIP MERCHANDISE: Exclusive VIP merchandise will be sent to outstanding contributors who have made meaningful contributions and supported @inter_link throughout its journey.

This celebration marks more than an important milestone, it is a heartfelt thank-you to the entire community that made the journey to 10 million Linkers possible.💜

This is quite a sensible direction from Vitalik. AI and quantum resistance should be two of the main priorities rather than Layer 2s. Layer 2s themselves struggle to leverage liquidity across one another, which leads to fragmentation and creates challenges for both UX and liquidity.

Vitalik chose to push the Layer 2 strategy around four years ago, but he has since redirected the Foundation following the departure of several core contributors.

That is also one of the reasons why InterLink did not initially focus heavily on or emphasize Layer 2 solutions.

Looking at the next five years, the foundation of the industry will still be digital assets themselves. The first question is whether those assets can meet strong security standards and remain resistant to quantum threats. Once that foundation is solid, the next question is whether those assets actually have real-world utility.

This is why InterLink is primarily focused on payments and real-world assets.

Getting the direction right from the beginning is extremely important. A single strategic mistake can cost an entire large ecosystem years of time and resources.

Regardless, congratulations to Ethereum and everyone holding $ETH.
