InterLink Network (@inter_link) has set November 25, 2026, as the final date for capturing KYC performance metrics for Level 1 and referral performance. User allocations for the current $ITLG distribution cycle will be frozen permanently once that date passes.
What Is Changing for ITLG Users
Core lead @kv_interlink also announced batch onboarding for users under 18, along with AI-enabled automatic verification for adult accounts.
The project says that after the mainnet distribution it plans to introduce wallet-less single sign-on for its dApp suite. It also intends to activate the ITLG Staking Vault, funded from ecosystem fees. Both features are planned for the future, and no launch dates have been given.
The deadline comes as InterLink moves $ITLG from an in-app mining asset to a transferable, on-chain token. According to the project's own blog, InterLink has passed 11 million members and the ITLG Mainnet Era has launched, marking the transition of ITLG into a transferable, on-chain asset. The same post says users who have completed Level 1 KYC can become Sponsors and help new Linkers complete verification. That links the Level 1 KYC metric in the deadline to the sponsorship and referral mechanics now in use.
The distribution portal states that every Linker who passes ITLG KYC and is eligible receives transferable ITLG before the countdown ends. It also notes that users who have already passed KYC in the app at Level 1 or higher can skip the photo step.
Background on ITLG and Verification
InterLink describes ITLG as the participation and governance token at the core of the InterLink network. The project says it is earned exclusively by verified human miners through biometric Proof of Personhood. Rewards are tied to verified accounts, which is why KYC and anti-fraud checks feature heavily in the rollout.
On the under-18 changes, InterLink's app page says the project is updating its compliance framework so users under 18 can complete KYC with guardian authorization and hold $ITLG. The same page says suspicious accounts may be flagged for additional review as mainnet approaches, with AI-powered identity verification and liveness detection used to spot fake identities, bots and fraudulent referrals.
Users with pending verification or referral activity should check their status before November 25, since allocations will not change after the freeze. The Staking Vault and single sign-on are still unscheduled, so participants should treat them as plans rather than confirmed releases.
