Interlink Launches Global Campaign For Upcoming Private Mainnet...

Interlink Enters the 8M Era

Interlink (@Inter_link) has officially marked what it calls the "8M Era," a reference to the protocol reaching 8 million users, with the announcement of its upcoming Private Mainnet launch and a coordinated global incentive campaign to celebrate the milestone.

According to the official Interlink whitepaper, the Private Mainnet activates InterLink Chain with real economic state, but participation is gated to verified Human Nodes and approved institutional participants. The phase migrates the InterLink Labs application-network economy onto the Foundation-operated chain, opens the chain to builders through a grant program, deploys the first real-world payment network, and acts as the bridge between an application-layer economy and a sovereign Layer 1 economy.

The Interlink mainnet is designed as a payment-ready Layer-1 blockchain, optimized for high transaction throughput and real-world usage. Part of that vision includes a planned rollout of a network of 10,000 payment acceptance points across initial target geographies, with sub-cent transaction fees and identity-gated settlement enabling real-world commerce to flow through the chain under private-mainnet conditions.

Active Bounty Season 3: $50,000 Up for Grabs

To mark the 8M milestone, Interlink has launched Active Bounty Season 3, a 30-day ecosystem-wide campaign carrying a $50,000 reward pool. The top prize is $20,000 in cash or a 2026 FIFA World Cup package for leading contributors.

Participants can accumulate points and keys through referrals, $ITL Visa card deposits, and social engagement to unlock five tiers of reward chests. The InterLink Visa Card aims to bridge the gap between digital assets and everyday financial transactions, allowing users to convert cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT into fiat currency at the moment of payment, meaning users can spend their crypto holdings at merchants without needing to manually convert assets beforehand.

The campaign structure follows a format Interlink has used in previous bounty seasons. Everything is tied to real identity via InterLink ID, meaning rewards go to real contributors, not bot farms or spam accounts.

Interlink operates a dual-token model. $ITLG serves as the genesis token, earned exclusively through mining by verified humans, and governs the InterLink DAO. $ITL is the core utility and strategic token, structured for integration with ecosystem partners, institutions, and large-scale capital, and is also the token Interlink plans to align with future public offerings or stock listings.
