The latest X posts packed several updates into one news cycle. The Interlink KYC update set an April 19 deadline. Non-KYC user can still buy ITL through OTC markets, though they will miss direct claim and migration. At the same time, leadership changed, security improved, and the network edged closer to testnet and private mainnet.
The users must complete KYC to receive ITL tokens on April 19. The rule applies to off-chain mined $ITLG, which needs on-chain migration before wider use. Without KYC can still accumulate ITL through OTC markets. It said OTC-bought ITL can later sit in the ITLX wallet after the Interlink token launch date for Layer 1.

That makes the $ITLG claim and Verification the key step in Interlink migration. It also means the $ITLG Airdrop will not reach users who miss the cutoff.
The platform did not give an Interlink Network airdrop Listing date or a firm $ITLG TGE schedule. It also did not confirm a launch date beyond the April 19 distribution timing for verified users.
In a separate X post, the Foundation named KV as Chairman after an internal vote. The KV helped build the Human Network to more than 7 million
The Foundation tied that push to the network’s dual-token model, ITLG and ITL. It said KV will guide plans around digital asset ownership, peer-to-peer payments, and real-world assets.
KV also said the first testnet phase, named InterLink Testnet Taj Mahal, will launch soon. He said the name honors India, which he described as the network’s largest community.

KV said the testnet will stress a four-layer design, from biometric identity to payment rails. It's V5.1 will introduce the private mainnet launch.
Security is moving too. The Interlink App update for V5.1 will add two-factor authentication through Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator.
The feature matters because vITLG may gain real staking value on mainnet. For users tracking the new version update, this adds an extra security layer before migration.

User replies show support for KV’s appointment. They also show frustration around KYC. Many users reported delays, stuck screens, and missing notifications during verification.
It presents itself as a human-first chain using facial and biometric checks for Proof of Personhood. In the V5.0 update, it shifted to a curator-based KYC that ranks miners by Human Credit Score, referrals, and mining performance. Officials say all users will eventually be verified. Still, many fear they may miss the cutoff.

The process follows three compliance pillars. These are Hong Kong’s AMLO, the SFC VASP framework, and FATF Recommendation 15. That rule is better known as the Travel Rule.
It also claimed seven institutions in the US, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai hold the token as treasury assets. That claim may keep attention on future demand once verification bottlenecks ease.
The platform is now moving on several fronts at once. KYC, governance, testnet, and private mainnet are all advancing together. Whether users clear the April 19 cutoff may shape near-term sentiment more than any single announcement.
