{"version":1,"id":"interlink","title":"InterLink","summary":"InterLink is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain and human-centric payments infrastructure that uses biometric identity verification to enable mobile mining, non-custodial wallets, token issuance, and real-world payments and asset tokenization.","content":"**InterLink** is a human-centric [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) project and self-described \"Free Digital Asset Mining Platform\" that ties each account to a verified individual and lets users accumulate digital assets from a mobile device. The project is built around an [Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm)–compatible [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) blockchain designed for real-world payments, tokenized assets, and digital commerce, and its stated purpose is to make digital assets accessible to people who lack a bank account, a Visa card, or a national ID.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-7u8t2i2k41)​[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt) \n\nThe project lists a physical address at 895 Dove Street, Suite 300, Newport Beach, California, and is developed by Interlink Labs, with long-term governance handled by the independent, non-profit InterLink Foundation.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-7u8t2i2k41)​[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt)​\n\n## Overview\n\nInterLink describes itself as a \"Human Network,\" a decentralized infrastructure that binds each [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) identity to a real, unique person rather than to an anonymous wallet.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-1gabltbr01) \n\nThe project contrasts its model with \"traditional blockchains where wallets are anonymous and easily replicated,\" arguing that binding identity to a verified human enables \"sybil resistance, fair coordination, and trust-based applications across [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3).\" Sybil resistance refers to preventing a single actor from creating many fake accounts to manipulate a network.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-1gabltbr01)​\n\nThe platform positions itself for users who are excluded from conventional finance. The InterLink Foundation frames the project as a human-centric blockchain built to democratize access to global financial markets, including reaching people who do not have a bank account, a Visa card, or a national identity document.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt) \n\nThe project summarizes its approach with the attributes \"Decentralized,\" \"By design,\" \"Human-Centric,\" and \"Global Access.\"[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt)​\n\nAccess to the network is gated by invitation. According to the platform, new users join using an invite code from an existing member, after which they can begin [mining](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mining) [digital assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/digital-assets) for free. The company states that mining requires no hardware or setup, runs on mobile devices, does not drain the battery, and can be activated with \"one tap.\"[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-7u8t2i2k41) \n\nInterLink emphasizes that it \"never charges mining fees or sells tokens.\"[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-7u8t2i2k41)​\n\n## Technology and Architecture\n\nInterLink describes its ecosystem as a \"modular, human-first architecture\" that connects identity, applications, and [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) infrastructure into a single network.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-1gabltbr01) \n\nThe underlying chain is characterized as an EVM-compatible [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) designed for real-world payments, tokenized assets, and scalable digital commerce. The project lists its technical attributes as EVM compatibility, instant settlement, the ability to \"plug into\" real-world assets (RWA), and quantum resistance, the last referring to cryptography intended to withstand attacks from future quantum computers.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-7u8t2i2k41)​\n\n### InterLink ID and Human Nodes\n\nAt the core of the architecture is the **InterLink ID**, described as a biometric-verified identity layer that ensures every user is a real, unique human.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-1gabltbr01) The system uses face scanning and liveness detection — a technique for confirming that a live person, rather than a photo or recording, is present — so that, according to the project, users can verify their identity without exposing personal data.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-1gabltbr01) \n\nVerified users become \"Human Nodes,\" which the [whitepaper](https://iq.wiki/wiki/white-paper) says help secure and maintain the integrity of the Human Network and earn InterLink tokens for their contribution.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-1gabltbr01) The platform presents a \"Verify human\" element alongside features such as \"Group mining\" and \"Mini apps.\"[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-7u8t2i2k41)​\n\n### Applications and Developer Tools\n\nThe InterLink ID powers the **InterLink App**, which the [whitepaper](https://iq.wiki/wiki/white-paper) calls the primary user interface for accessing decentralized mini-apps across the categories of social, gaming, [AI agents](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ai-agents), and finance. \n\nThese mini-apps are distributed through a Mini-App Marketplace.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-1gabltbr01) Developers build these applications with the InterLink MDK (Mini-App Development Kit), which the document says provides modules for authentication, notifications, on-chain transactions, and payments. Applications are deployed and managed through a Developer Portal and interact with the network through the InterLink SDK.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-1gabltbr01) Interlink Labs maintains a Mini-App SDK written in TypeScript as part of this tooling.[\\[4\\]](#cite-id-cfuyrd92jm)​\n\nTo extend identity verification beyond its own apps, InterLink offers a Human Auth SDK that allows external platforms to integrate its verification, granting what the document calls \"trusted access to external applications.\"[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-1gabltbr01) \n\nInterlink Labs describes its broader engineering mission as building a Human Network powered by InterLink ID to enable \"Unique Data Training and Decentralized Federated Learning,\" a machine-learning approach in which models are trained across many devices without centralizing the underlying data.[\\[4\\]](#cite-id-cfuyrd92jm)​\n\n### InterLink Chain\n\nThe tokens earned by Human Nodes are issued and managed by the **InterLink Chain**, described as a decentralized [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) that \"anchors identity, reputation, and economic coordination.\"[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-1gabltbr01) \n\nWithin the ecosystem, the InterLink Foundation refers to its treasury holdings using the ticker labels ITL and ITLG, and names an entity called ITLX among the groups across which it plans to deploy artificial intelligence.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt)​\n\n## Wallet and Payments\n\nInterLink provides a non-custodial wallet — a wallet in which the user, rather than a third party, controls the private keys — through which holders store assets, manage payments, and interact with the ecosystem. The company lists the wallet's features as the ability to \"spend crypto like cash,\" instant transfers, automated earnings, and \"unparalleled security.\"[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-7u8t2i2k41)​\n\nPayments are a stated focus of the project. The platform claims it is \"Powered by Visa & Mastercard\" and that its payment cards are accepted in more than 150 countries.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-7u8t2i2k41) \n\nThese assertions are presented by InterLink itself. The Foundation's longer-term ambition is to position the InterLink Token to function simultaneously as a payment medium and as a reserve asset, or store of value, and to turn InterLink into an ecosystem for global payments and real-world assets.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt)​\n\n## Governance and the InterLink Foundation\n\nThe **InterLink Foundation** is an independent, non-profit organization established to guide the long-term growth, governance, and sustainability of the InterLink ecosystem. It operates as a separate entity with its own executive team responsible for setting long-term strategy and for evaluating ecosystem initiatives to judge their effectiveness and support sustainable growth.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt) \n\nThe Foundation describes its organizational structure as \"well-defined\" in order to ensure transparency, accountability, and efficient stewardship of the ecosystem.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt)​\n\nThe Foundation's functional activities span technology, funding, and institutional outreach. It recruits core developers and researchers to strengthen the network's infrastructure, and it funds builders through grants, research programs, and hackathons intended to accelerate innovation.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt) \n\nIt provides strategic direction by setting long-term priorities, coordinating stakeholders, and overseeing execution, and it manages the ITL and ITLG treasury, allocating resources with the stated aim of long-term financial sustainability.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt) \n\nFor adoption, the Foundation engages institutions and enterprises, partnering with governments and companies to drive what it calls compliant real-world adoption.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt)​\n\nThe Foundation's stated goals restate and expand the project's mission: democratizing digital asset ownership by empowering one billion people worldwide to own digital assets and participate in the decentralized economy; transforming InterLink into an ecosystem for global payments and real-world assets by enabling on-chain [tokenization](https://iq.wiki/wiki/tokenization) of businesses and allowing \"tens of thousands of companies\" to participate in payment infrastructure and capital formation; and integrating artificial intelligence across the ecosystem to streamline operations.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt) \n\nThe planned AI integration is described as spanning the Foundation's core developers, Interlink Labs, ITLX, application developers building on InterLink, operational teams, and ecosystem ambassadors.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-vde3sqfabt)​\n","categories":[{"id":"projects-and-protocols","title":"projects-and-protocols"}],"tags":[{"id":"Layer1"},{"id":"Identity"},{"id":"Payments"},{"id":"RWA"}],"images":[{"id":"QmQ4TyoN2APPkQD9qjZx9f9hZzieGiJBUpPs7YkP3DUkMt","type":"image/jpeg, image/png"}],"media":[],"metadata":[{"id":"references","value":"[{\"id\":\"7u8t2i2k41\",\"url\":\"https://interlinklabs.ai/\",\"description\":\"InterLink platform description\",\"timestamp\":1791376095902},{\"id\":\"vde3sqfabt\",\"url\":\"https://interlink.foundation/\",\"description\":\"Foundation on human-centric blockchain\",\"timestamp\":1791376095902},{\"id\":\"1gabltbr01\",\"url\":\"https://whitepaper.interlinklabs.ai/\",\"description\":\"InterLink one billion user target\",\"timestamp\":1791376095902},{\"id\":\"cfuyrd92jm\",\"url\":\"https://github.com/InterlinkLabs\",\"description\":\"Mini-App SDK repository\",\"timestamp\":1791376095902}]"},{"id":"main-image-origin","value":"{\"imageId\":\"QmQ4TyoN2APPkQD9qjZx9f9hZzieGiJBUpPs7YkP3DUkMt\",\"originalId\":\"QmQ4TyoN2APPkQD9qjZx9f9hZzieGiJBUpPs7YkP3DUkMt\"}"},{"id":"rootdata_profile","value":"https://www.rootdata.com/Projects/detail/InterLink?k=MTgzNDI="},{"id":"website","value":"https://interlinklabs.ai/"},{"id":"twitter_profile","value":"https://x.com/inter_link"},{"id":"medium_profile","value":"https://medium.com/@interlinklabs"},{"id":"github_profile","value":"https://github.com/InterlinkLabs"},{"id":"discord_profile","value":"https://discord.gg/interlink"},{"id":"telegram_profile","value":"https://t.me/interlinkID"},{"id":"commit-message","value":"Create InterLink wiki"}],"events":[{"type":"DEFAULT","title":"Interlink Labs GitHub organization created","date":"2025-02-01","description":"GitHub organization 'Interlink Labs' (handle @InterlinkLabs) created.","link":"https://github.com/InterlinkLabs","multiDateStart":null,"multiDateEnd":null,"id":"be9fb1f8-2e5a-4b9c-9f67-7b2107186e43"},{"type":"DEFAULT","title":"Mini-App-SDK repository last updated","date":"2025-02-01","description":"Top repository 'Mini-App-SDK' updated; primary language TypeScript; 21 stars.","link":"https://github.com/InterlinkLabs/Mini-App-SDK","multiDateStart":null,"multiDateEnd":null,"id":"05169786-3fd5-4d4a-94d4-cd4a14f9e9dd"},{"type":"DEFAULT","title":"e2e-tts repository last updated","date":"2025-03-01","description":"Repository 'e2e-tts' updated; primary language Python; 10 stars.","link":"https://github.com/InterlinkLabs/e2e-tts","multiDateStart":null,"multiDateEnd":null,"id":"a6618b5f-f2ae-4c8d-a469-ba081a001f08"}],"linkedWikis":{"founders":[],"blockchains":["ethereum"],"speakers":[]},"user":{"id":"0x8af7a19a26d8fbc48defb35aefb15ec8c407f889"},"author":{"id":"0x212Cb3F4aE6611054637f9f78F18fB628AD258bb"},"language":"en","operator":{"id":"0x212Cb3F4aE6611054637f9f78F18fB628AD258bb"}}
