Something big just moved inside the InterLink ecosystem. BSCNews, one of the most recognized crypto media platforms in the industry, recently highlighted the InterLink Private Mainnet rollout and the latest statement from Chairman KV. The update immediately pushed the project back into wider crypto discussions, especially among users following identity-based blockchain ecosystems.
For the millions of users who have been mining ITLG since the project launched in March 2025, this is one of the clearest signs yet that the ecosystem is moving beyond the app stage. According to the project’s latest official communications, the Private Mainnet phase is now beginning, bringing the live blockchain infrastructure online before future token migration, payments, and ecosystem expansion.
Here are the most important verified facts investors and users should know right now.
The InterLink Private Mainnet is the live Layer-1 blockchain built by InterLink Labs. It is described on the official website as “a decentralized blockchain network built for humans that anchors identity, reputation, and economic coordination.”
Unlike a testnet that only runs experiments, this is positioned as a production-ready blockchain designed for real identity verification, transactions, and payment infrastructure.
Human-centric architecture where every node represents a verified human instead of bots
Identity-first infrastructure powered by biometric verification
Payment-focused blockchain expansion targeting 10,000 payment points initially
High-speed and scalable infrastructure designed for consumer financial activity
The project says this chain becomes the foundation for everything else inside the ecosystem, including ITL token migration, validator participation, payment systems, and future real-world asset integrations.
The biggest recent development came from InterLink Chairman KV, who shared a long public statement discussing the launch of the first Private Mainnet stage and addressing community concerns directly.
According to KV, InterLink Network has evolved far beyond its original “free mining app” identity and is now building a much broader ecosystem focused on payments, digital ownership, and real-world asset infrastructure.
One of the most important parts of the statement was the confirmation that the Foundation will not sell tokens during the entire Private Mainnet phase. KV stated there will be:
No Foundation token selling
No OTC treasury partner sales
No VC token dumping during Private Mainnet
He also claimed the ecosystem already has enough funding to continue operations for at least five years without relying on token sales.
This point matters because many crypto communities often worry about treasury dumping, insider unlocks, or aggressive VC selling immediately after launch. InterLink is trying to position itself differently by emphasizing long-term ecosystem building over short-term speculation.
KV also spent a large part of the statement explaining the long-term philosophy behind the project.
According to him, the core mission of InterLink is to “democratize ownership of digital assets within a payment and real-world asset ecosystem without barriers related to nationality, finance, or knowledge.”
The project originally focused on building a human verification network but has gradually expanded into a much larger ecosystem involving:
Payment infrastructure
Real-world asset tokenization
Human identity verification
Stablecoin support
Consumer-facing blockchain applications
The project also claims it is building quantum-resistant infrastructure and blockchain architecture optimized for low-delay payment processing.
The InterLink funding update picture is based on publicly shared information from the project:
Interlink Labs is listed on Crunchbase with a seed funding round on record
AWS is listed as a partner on the official interlinklabs.ai homepage
The NIST Face Recognition Technology Evaluation has tested Interlink's biometric system, with results published at face.nist.gov
The team has described backing from "major firms on Wall Street and in Shanghai" in official communications, though specific fund names have not been disclosed
These are the verifiable credibility signals. The project does not have a named lead investor publicly confirmed as of this writing.
The InterLink ecosystem currently revolves around two connected assets:
Token | Purpose | Status |
ITLG | Off-chain mined points earned through the app | Requires verification and migration |
ITL | Native Layer-1 blockchain token | Launches with mainnet functionality |
The project confirmed that KYC remains mandatory for direct migration from ITLG into ITL.
Users who completed verification before the official deadline are expected to receive direct migration access, while others may eventually access ITL through OTC markets after the V5 launch.
KV also emphasized that all tokens entering the Private Mainnet ecosystem must pass AML and compliance checks.
Gas fees
Validator staking
Payments
Business token systems
Ecosystem utilities
While the Private Mainnet rollout has generated excitement, the project is also facing criticism from parts of the community.
KYC verification
Missing notifications
Step progression issues
Token verification timing
KV directly acknowledged these frustrations in the statement and explained that verification priority currently depends on several internal ecosystem metrics.
He also claimed the verification process should accelerate once validators begin participating during the Private Mainnet phase.
The project continues to stress that compliance and ecosystem security are necessary for future partnerships with large banking and fintech companies.
According to official communications, the InterLink roadmap currently focuses on five major goals for 2026:
Launch the Private InterLink Chain L1
Verify ITLG and enable OTC trading
Deploy 10,000 payment points
Expand liquidity access globally
Pursue future NYSE ambitions
The current Private Mainnet rollout represents completion of the first major stage.
Community discussions continue around future exchange listings, but no exchange has been officially confirmed yet. Several names have circulated online, including Binance, Coinbase, and MEXC, though none currently have verified listing agreements publicly announced
Exchange listing timelines remain unconfirmed
KYC verification delays are still being reported
The network is private mainnet, not open public mainnet yet
NYSE ambitions remain long-term goals
Smart contract migration audits are not publicly available yet
The InterLink Private Mainnet rollout marks one of the biggest milestones the project has reached since launching in 2025. The ecosystem is clearly trying to position itself differently from traditional crypto launches by focusing heavily on identity verification, compliance, and payment infrastructure.
At the same time, several important uncertainties still remain around exchange listings, token migration timing, and broader ecosystem adoption.
What makes the project stand out right now is not hype alone, but the scale of infrastructure and long-term positioning it is attempting to build. Whether InterLink can successfully execute that vision over the coming years will ultimately decide how important this Private Mainnet phase becomes for the wider blockchain industry.
