Many people have asked me why I keep sharing so much about @inter_link. To be honest, over the past three years, my life has been quite boring. I spend around 14–15 hours every day on @inter_link, seven days a week, researching technologies, coding, operating the ecosystem, and keeping up with the latest developments in technology. That is also one of the reasons why @inter_link has been able to deliver such a huge amount of work within a relatively short period of time, from dApps and partnerships to technology and integrations.
Right now, one of the things I am working hardest on is completing the ITLG KYC portal and officially bringing transferable ITLG into the @inter_link ecosystem. Before the one-month KYC period begins, there are a few things I want to share.
Today, I made a post asking everyone which one they prefer, ITLG or ITL, and it seems that ITLG is taking the lead. And honestly, that makes sense. From the very beginning, ITLG has been something very familiar to everyone who loves and has followed @inter_link. For me, not everyone who joins @inter_link is here simply to mine ITLG and sell it once it gets listed on an exchange. It is simply something we have built an emotional connection with, or an expectation of a much longer story ahead. It has been a long journey that we have gone through together. We celebrated together, made mistakes together, fixed them together, and continued moving forward together. That is why ITLG has become something that has been with all of us for a very long time.
When I saw ITL becoming too dominant compared with ITLG across the ecosystem, I decided that this is the right time for ITLG to officially step into the game. This is not a competition between ITLG and ITL. They are two important parts of the same ecosystem, and I believe they need to complement each other.
I also feel that we should take more responsibility for the next generation. Because of that, during this KYC period, users under the age of 18 will also be able to pass KYC with the support and consent of a parent or legal guardian. I understand that helping children and young people gain access to ITLG can also be seen as a form of insurance for their future, because not every family has the financial ability to purchase insurance or build significant savings for their children. At the same time, this can be one way to teach children about the future of digital assets. Personally, I believe digital assets will play a very important role in the future, alongside AI.
As a representative of the InterLink Foundation, I also plan to establish a fund to support Linker parents whose children have strong academic achievements or come from difficult financial circumstances. The fund will provide support through ITLG, ITL, or fiat depending on the situation, with the goal of helping young people have access to a better educational foundation and more opportunities for their future.
We are not only building @inter_link for ourselves. The next generation will eventually be the ones carrying greater responsibilities for this world. If what we are building today can help give them a better education, earlier access to digital assets and technology, and a stronger foundation for their future, then I believe that is something truly worth doing.
