InterLink's Ambitious Plans: What's Next for The Human Network?

InterLink has shown steady progress throughout 2025 as it builds a network centered on real human participation in the AI era. Founder and CEO KV, in a statement posted on X, detailed the upcoming plans for the fourth quarter. 

These plans include numerous efforts to expand its ecosystem, including the launch of a mini app kit supported by global hackathons, securing more than 1,000 merchant partnerships for $ITL payments across the U.S. and Asia, and audits on revenue models to meet SEC standards. Overall, the decentralized blockchain platform looks to build on its Q3 progress and continue its steady rise in the industry. 

Building on The Momentum from Q3

The platform recorded a surge in network activity during the third quarter of 2025, reaching four times the level of Ethereum and nearly 80 percent of Solana's, with a high percentage of users active daily. 

Interlink introduced token stability measures, including a burning mechanism for inactive Human Nodes and the Qihong Spin Game, which uses $ITLG for participation and offers rewards in $ITLG and USDT. Community expansion involved growing to over 6,000 ambassadors through a revenue-sharing program, alongside campaigns such as "Video to Earn," which offered a $15,000 prize pool, and "Active Bounty Season 2," which distributed $23,000 in rewards, including items like MacBooks. Founder KV, a computer science graduate from the National University of Singapore, emphasized the importance of community unity in communications, describing the project as a family-oriented effort.

Technical developments in the quarter included the release of Whitepaper V2, the rollout of QR payments enabling crypto-to-fiat conversions for currencies such as PHP and VND, and an AI model ranking in the top 113 on the NIST facial security benchmark. Additionally, partnerships were established with Google for Startups and AWS Startups. 

As evident in the developments outlined above, the protocol has been actively establishing itself as a promising platform, as the world switches to the age of AI. Interlink, as highlighted in the founder’s statement, promises to build on the progress made in Q3 and continue to prove itself as a valuable project in the blockchain ecosystem. 

“Interlink is not just an airdrop project. It is an ecosystem, a vision, and a united movement. One day, when people speak of Bitcoin and Ethereum, they will also speak of Interlink – as one of the most valuable, most meaningful tokens in the world,” KV concluded in the post.

What Are the Plans for Q4?

According to the co-founder’s statement, specific initiatives for the fourth quarter of 2025 center on token distribution, ecosystem development, and regulatory compliance. Verified $ITLG distribution will commence soon, with ongoing processes and burns for inactive nodes to control supply. $ITL will be allocated via time vesting and $ITLG locking, with the aim of use in exchange-traded funds and treasuries. 

The InterLink Mini App Kit will launch alongside worldwide hackathons to encourage developer integrations of $ITL. Core tools, such as the ITLX exchange, wallet, and DAO, will enable verified holders to engage in various applications.

Partnerships target over 1,000 merchants accepting $ITL payments in the U.S. and Asia, starting with InterLink Mall and ecosystem projects. QR payments will be expanded to additional jurisdictions, enabling seamless user experiences without incurring gas fees. Audits on revenue and business models will align with SEC standards. 

Ambassador programs will shift toward leadership training, with continued campaigns like Video to Earn finales offering $15,000 monthly. In addition, investor collaborations will treat $ITL and $ITLG as reserves, with long-term goals including 10,000 partners by 2030 and 1 billion users globally. Expansions cover more decentralized applications, SocialFi integrations, and features like Security Groups. 

KV noted increased challenges but disclosed that the team is 100% focused on improving the Interlink ecosystem. According to him, the long-term goal is to make sure that its native $ITL token is one that global funds build ETFs and treasuries around. Furthermore, to make the asset one of the most widely used payment tokens worldwide, with over 10,000 partners and more than 1 million payment points. 

Final Thoughts

InterLink plans to continue building its ecosystem in the crypto space through initiatives outlined for the fourth quarter of 2025, including the launch of the InterLink Mini App Kit, accompanied by worldwide hackathons to integrate $ITL into developer applications, and more. 

With the progress made in Q3, the protocol has the necessary momentum to continue building and establishing its united movement, aiming to become a leading name alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.
