For nearly the past year, a lot of false information has been spread about InterLink by people from other smaller projects or those who want to gain engagement by constantly linking InterLink’s name to negative matters and manipulating the community through negative narratives for views. However, I have always chosen to remain silent and focus quietly on building. I understand that if you want to become number one, you must be prepared to face false accusations. This is something that anyone who has reached the top of their field will experience, regardless of the industry. Today is a beautiful and meaningful day. This is also a special week, as ITLG will officially enter its mainnet phase. I will take some time to share everything about @inter_link. I will not repeat these points again because I know that after this post, engagement farmers and haters will continue asking meaningless questions. That is their intention. So, what does InterLink actually have? Before I share the full story, please allow me to make one point. We do not claim that we are the best. However, we have achieved and developed certain things that other projects may not be able to execute, including free-mining projects and projects that have raised hundreds of millions of dollars. If you know anyone who is doing better, please leave a comment. I am always willing to learn. 1. Founding Team We are a group of leading professionals in finance and technology. Benjamin is the Chairman of a company currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the largest stock exchange in the world: nyse.com/quote/XASE:BESS. Vince is the Chairman of New To The Street, a leading Wall Street media company where many influential figures in the global financial industry gather. KV, which is me, studied at NUS, the National University of Singapore, which is the number one university in Asia, and I won a medal at the International Olympiad in Informatics. Finally, Kenny is the former Vice President of UFC Gym and holds both CPA and CFA qualifications. 2. InterLink and its AI model at NIST, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology face.nist.gov/frte/reportcar…. This is one of the leading human-focused AI models in the world, ranked 51st. Achieving this requires three things that only a small number of companies with substantial resources can possess: a highly capable team of engineers and researchers to develop the algorithms, a massive amount of training data accumulated over many years, and an annual investment of millions of U.S. dollars in NVIDIA H100 GPUs at that time. We had to submit evidence of all these capabilities to NIST and undergo a very rigorous evaluation process. 3. InterLink’s interview at the New York Stock Exchange Being invited for an interview and welcomed with banners at the NYSE was not a paid promotion. We did not pay a single dollar to the NYSE or any of our other partners. Even if you were willing to spend several million dollars, you would never be featured or welcomed there if your project did not have strong technology and a strong team. We were interviewed there simply because we had a strong founding team and outstanding technology at that time. Even today, it is very difficult for leading crypto projects to gain access to such a platform. In addition, we are also proceeding with the audit requirements for listing. 4. Google for Startups and InterLink We are one of the few startups in which Google holds an equity stake. Google supports us not only with cloud resources but also with funding for AI development and access to its extensive global network. You can verify this information through reputable platforms such as Crunchbase and CryptoRank. 5. A project from the U.S. I have never claimed that InterLink is a U.S. project, even though most members of our founding team are U.S. citizens and both our headquarters and legal entities are based in the United States. I consider InterLink a global project. We recruit employees and establish offices in different parts of the world, including Singapore, Vietnam and possibly Hong Kong next. Whether a project comes from the U.S. does not mean much to me. Today, even the poorest countries in Africa have exceptionally talented individuals in academia and computer science.| 6. Fake-news claims that InterLink does not have a blockchain, that the entire ITLG supply has already been mined and that InterLink is not open-source First, it is quite ridiculous to claim that InterLink does not have a blockchain. If InterLink had no blockchain, how could the current dApps deploy smart contracts, pay gas fees and track on-chain transactions from their own wallets? The InterLink Foundation is led by me and includes many talented engineers who previously worked with the Solana Foundation and Ethereum Foundation. They are not here simply to deploy an ordinary blockchain, which would take only a few days to one week to set up. We are building a blockchain with strong quantum resistance and best-in-class capacity to handle high transaction volumes. The project is not currently open-source because we need to complete our patent applications in the United States before making everything public and allowing everyone to review our core source code. As for ITLG, 55 billion tokens have currently been mined after deducting the tokens that were burned. 7. Working with OKX Perhaps after Pi Network, InterLink is the second project in the free-mining sector to work directly with OKX and receive official confirmation from OKX. This is an important step in our process of working with market makers and liquidity providers to ensure the strongest possible intrinsic value for ITLG and ITL. In my view, OKX is one of the best exchanges today, with investment from the New York Stock Exchange. We also have other partners, including Visa Card, WalletConnect and AWS, but the full list would be too long to include here. We are also focused on establishing ITL and ITLG treasury companies, with further announcements coming soon. This is what I wanted to share to put an end to the current rumours and strengthen the confidence of Linkers who have chosen to participate in and accompany @inter_link. Initially, I did not intend to publish any post because I wanted to focus fully on the project. However, some people told me that I should speak up so that everyone could have a clearer understanding. As for the haters and engagement farmers, I will completely ignore them. If you come across such accounts, please help me report them so that we can maintain a cleaner and healthier community. Unverified rumors and negativity will only make the Linkers community stronger, more united, and more resilient. Now, let us welcome the ITLG Mainnet Era together. Viva Linkers!
