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.

Post-Quantum Cryptography: InterLink Is Preparing Before the Threat Arrives
Quantum computers powerful enough to threaten modern cryptography may still be years away, but for InterLink, waiting until that moment arrives would already be too late. Post-quantum cryptography is not about using quantum computers to perform cryptography. It is about developing cryptographic systems that are secure today and can remain secure in a future where large-scale quantum computers exist.
One of the most important concerns is known as โHarvest Now, Decrypt Later.โ A sophisticated adversary does not need a powerful quantum computer today. They can collect and store encrypted information now, wait for quantum computing to mature, and attempt to decrypt that historical data later. For blockchain networks, the challenge is even more fundamental because cryptographic signatures are directly connected to asset ownership, transactions, validators, and network security.
This is why InterLink is preparing carefully and far ahead of the potential threat. Instead of treating post-quantum security as something that can simply be added later, InterLink is approaching it as a long-term infrastructure challenge. Researchers, cryptography specialists, engineers, and scientists are being brought into the discussion to study how quantum-resistant cryptography can eventually be integrated into different layers of the InterLink Network without sacrificing security, scalability, or usability.
This work requires much more than choosing a new signature algorithm. InterLink must consider how quantum-resistant signatures interact with wallets, accounts, validators, consensus infrastructure, smart contracts, key management, transaction size, network performance, and millions of users. Post-quantum algorithms can also introduce different computational, bandwidth, and storage requirements compared with the elliptic-curve systems commonly used by blockchains today. Designing the correct architecture therefore requires extensive research, testing, benchmarking, and security review.
Fortunately, this transition is no longer purely theoretical. NIST has already standardized the first generation of major post-quantum cryptographic standards, giving researchers and engineers a much stronger foundation for real-world implementation. InterLink is closely following the development of these standards and the broader cryptographic research community while evaluating what approaches can provide the right balance between long-term security and practical blockchain performance.
More importantly, InterLink does not believe that a network serving millions of people should depend on a rushed migration after a quantum breakthrough is announced. Changing the cryptographic foundation of an entire blockchain ecosystem could take years. Wallets may need migration paths, infrastructure may require upgrades, validators must remain compatible, and users need a secure way to move from existing keys to quantum-resistant ones. These problems should be studied before they become emergencies.
For this reason, post-quantum security and AI are becoming two important long-term research priorities for InterLink. The objective is not to create fear that quantum computers will break blockchain tomorrow. It is to build the scientific and engineering foundation today so that InterLink has a clear path forward if that threat becomes real.
The next generation of blockchain infrastructure should not only be secure against the threats we understand today. It should be designed with enough foresight to survive the cryptographic world of tomorrow.

Preparing the InterLink Ecosystem for 10 Million Linkers ๐๐
As we move closer to the 10 million Linkers milestone, the product team is preparing the entire ecosystem for a much larger wave of users and activity.
Right now, one of our biggest priorities is Migration. The migration system is stable, and we are now pushing toward 2X migration capacity to bring significantly more Linkers into the next stage of the InterLink ecosystem.
โ๏ธ 2X Migration Push
The migration code is stable and ready to scale. The team is now increasing migration throughput so that significantly more Linkers can complete the process within the same period of time.
But scaling migration is not simply about processing more users.
As millions of Linkers move through migration, the infrastructure behind it must remain stable, secure, and capable of handling much higher levels of activity. This is why the team has spent time strengthening the foundation before accelerating the next wave.
Migration is an important bridge between our growing community and the expanding InterLink ecosystem. As more users complete migration, more Linkers will be ready to participate in the next generation of products, applications, and opportunities being built across the network.
๐ Migration Is Accelerating
With the infrastructure now ready for greater scale, we are moving into a more aggressive migration phase. The objective is clear: push migration capacity toward 2X while maintaining a smooth and reliable experience for Linkers.
This means more users migrating, stronger infrastructure supporting them, and greater readiness across the ecosystem as we approach 10 million Linkers.
Migration ร2. Stronger infrastructure. More Linkers ready for the ecosystem. ๐ฅ
10 million Linkers is an exciting milestone, but it is also preparation for something much bigger. We are building the infrastructure today for the scale InterLink expects tomorrow.
Thank you to every Linker who continues to stay active, contribute, and grow together with the ecosystem.
Stay active and keep your metrics strong. The road to 10 million Linkers is accelerating. ๐

InterLink Is Researching and Testing New Mechanisms for Post-Quantum Security ๐โ๏ธ
@inter_link is continuing to research and experiment with new cryptographic mechanisms as part of its long-term preparation for the post-quantum era.
One of the most important directions currently being explored is ML-DSA-65 under FIPS 204, a post-quantum digital signature standard published by NIST.
@inter_link is testing how ML-DSA-65 can be integrated at multiple levels of blockchain infrastructure, including both validator consensus keys and user account keys.
This is particularly important because preparing a blockchain for quantum-resistant security is not simply about replacing one signature algorithm. The entire lifecycle of cryptographic keys, from user accounts to validators and consensus operations, needs to be considered.
@inter_link is also exploring validator consensus key rotation, allowing validator keys to be changed over time rather than remaining permanent. The mechanism is being designed for both standard staking and PoA environments, with compatibility for genesis import and export.
Alongside cryptographic research, @inter_link is experimenting with infrastructure improvements such as configurable Block-STM parallel execution and pre-state caching to improve transaction execution and state-processing efficiency.
These developments are still part of an ongoing process of research, testing, and infrastructure experimentation.
Post-quantum security will not come from a single upgrade. It requires continuous research across cryptography, consensus, key management, and network architecture.
@inter_link is starting that work early. ๐
