Igra Labs Goes Live on Tangem
@Igra_Labs has integrated with @Tangem, bringing Kaspa-native decentralised finance to more than one million hardware wallet users. The move gives $IGRA holders access to the Igra apps ecosystem while keeping private keys secured in cold storage, removing a trade-off that has historically pushed DeFi users toward less secure software wallets.
The integration is built on WalletConnect, delivered through Tangem app version 6.1.3. WalletConnect is an open protocol that facilitates interaction between decentralised applications and crypto wallets, ensuring that private keys stay securely stored on the hardware wallet itself. For Tangem users, that means approving transactions via NFC tap rather than exposing keys to an internet-connected device.
What the Integration Means for Kaspa DeFi
Igra Network is the EVM-compatible execution layer built on top of Kaspa's proof-of-work BlockDAG. Igra Labs has opened public access to Igra Network, a decentralised EVM-compatible execution layer built on Kaspa's proof-of-work BlockDAG. The network delivers over 3,000 transactions per second with sub-second inclusion latency, powered by Kaspa's 10-block-per-second BlockDAG architecture and parallel transaction sequencing.
By connecting to Tangem through WalletConnect, $IGRA holders can now interact with decentralised apps on Igra Network without moving assets to a hot wallet first. Tangem's collaboration with WalletConnect is aimed at providing an intuitive and secure Web3 experience, streamlining wallet-to-dApp interactions while guaranteeing user safety across DeFi and blockchain applications.
Tangem's advanced technology is backed by a Common Criteria EAL6+ certification, the same level of chip protection used in passports. That security baseline now extends to Kaspa-native DeFi for the first time, as the Igra and Tangem integration marks a meaningful step in making cold-storage-secured DeFi access a practical reality rather than a technical workaround.

Peaq Brings Human Verification to the Machine Economy
@Peaq has officially integrated @worldnetwork's World ID into peaqOS, adding a privacy-preserving identity layer that allows machines and robots to confirm they are interacting with a verified human, without collecting any biometric data in the process.
The implementation addresses a growing challenge in decentralized physical infrastructure: how to establish trust between autonomous machines and the people they serve, particularly in high-stakes scenarios such as medication delivery in smart city environments like Seoul. A peaq-powered machine can now verify both ends of a transaction: its own identity through peaq's machine ID system, and the human's identity through World ID's proof-of-personhood credential.
Zero-Knowledge Proofs at the Core
The system relies on zero-knowledge cryptography to confirm a user's humanity without exposing personal information. Zero-knowledge proofs verify that a person is a unique human without sharing personal information with the third party requesting the proof, and they also protect World ID from being tracked across applications or tied to any biometric data.
The proof-of-personhood verification process involves the Orb, a high-tech camera, taking images of a user's eyes and face to confirm they are a real and unique human. This process occurs only once. After that, the verified World ID is stored on the user's phone in the World App, where it can be used to sign into online apps and services. After verification, the data is encrypted, sent to the phone, and permanently deleted from the Orb. Only the user's phone holds their data and their World ID.
The integration taps into a network with considerable scale. More than 39 million people have joined World Network, with more than 18 million humans verified by an Orb. The network has utilized more than 475 million World ID proofs since its launch. That reach spans 160 countries, giving peaqOS access to a ready-made, globally distributed identity layer for the DePIN sector.
Peaq Network is a Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) and Real World Assets (RWA). The World ID integration slots into its architecture as the human-facing counterpart to the machine identity tools peaq already provides. The move signals a broader push to close the identity gap in autonomous machine networks, where verifying the human side of a transaction has historically lagged behind machine-side verification capabilities.

A Milestone, but a Cautious One
After weeks of trading below the threshold, @PiCoreTeam's $PI token has climbed back above a $1 billion market cap. Pi Network's market capitalisation now stands at just over $1 billion, based on a circulating supply of approximately 11 billion tokens. For the project's community, known as Pioneers, the development offers a degree of relief following a prolonged period of selling pressure.
The recovery, however, has been measured. With a price increase of around 2.40% over the past seven days, $PI is underperforming the global cryptocurrency market, which is up 12.50% over the same period. The broader altcoin rally has largely bypassed the token, leaving it trailing peers by a significant margin.
A Long Road Back From the Highs
The context behind this market cap recovery matters. Pi Network launched its Open Mainnet on February 20, 2025, and within weeks the token reached an all-time high of $2.99 on exchanges, before falling to an all-time low of $0.1312 by February 2026. The current price of around $0.09 means the token remains down more than 50% from the start of 2026 alone.
A key structural challenge is supply. Pi has a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, with only around 9% currently circulating, and hundreds of millions of new tokens unlocking and entering the market every month. The token's liquidity remains concentrated on a limited set of exchanges, including OKX, Bitget, HTX, BitMart, CoinEx, and Kraken, with Binance and Coinbase still absent from the list. That absence is widely seen as a headwind for broader price discovery and demand.
On the network side, @PiCoreTeam has continued to push development forward. Pi Network is strengthening its infrastructure through the rollout of Protocol v26, while expanding ecosystem utility with AI-powered developer tools and Pi2Day products. Whether those milestones can attract enough new demand to outpace ongoing token inflation remains the central question for the asset's price trajectory.
For now, reclaiming the $1 billion market cap mark is a positive signal for the community, even if the recovery falls well short of the token's earlier peaks. Sustained progress will likely depend on tighter supply dynamics, broader exchange listings, and tangible growth in on-chain activity.

First New Registration in Four Years
Laser Digital, the digital asset subsidiary of Japanese investment bank Nomura, has completed its registration as a crypto asset exchange service provider in Japan. The approval, granted under the Payment Services Act, is the first new registration in the country's digital asset sector since 2022. The last platform to receive authorisation from Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) was Binance Japan in October 2022.
Japan's crypto market is entering a "new phase of maturity," creating a need for "trusted counterparties and infrastructure" as institutional investors increase their interest in the asset class, according to Jez Mohideen, co-founder and CEO of Laser Digital, in a Friday press release.
The FSA registry lists the firm's approved assets as BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH, LTC and SHIB. Laser Digital Japan will initially provide institutional liquidity solutions for domestic virtual asset service providers, with plans to offer institutional trading services later. The firm has not yet disclosed when those services will launch or exactly which products will be available.
A Broader Regulatory Shift
The registration arrives at a pivotal moment for Japan's crypto regulatory landscape. Japan's parliament recently approved legislation that would shift oversight from the Payment Services Act to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, treating crypto assets as financial products and imposing rules on exchanges, issuers, investment managers and advisers, while introducing insider trading restrictions for domestic crypto markets.
The legislation also sets the stage for a 20% tax on qualifying crypto gains, compared with the current maximum rate of 55%, with the new tax regime expected to begin as early as January 1, 2028.
Institutional appetite for digital assets in Japan is clearly growing. According to the 2026 Institutional Investor Survey by Nomura and Laser Digital, 65% of respondents consider crypto assets a diversification tool, while nearly 79% said they plan to invest in the asset class over the next three years.
Since its 2022 launch, Laser Digital has built three main business lines spanning trading, asset management and venture investment, and in January the company applied to the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for a national trust bank charter, receiving preliminary conditional approval in May. Japan's registration adds another pillar to that global expansion.
Laser Digital is not alone in its ambitions. Daiwa Securities Group and SMBC Nikko Securities are also considering entry into the crypto sector, a sign that Japan's broader financial establishment is taking digital assets seriously.

Kaspa lidera o sentimento cripto na CoinMarketCap
Cerca de 90% dos ativos cripto estão exibindo sinais de alta agora, mas um projeto em particular está capturando a atenção da comunidade: $KAS, a moeda nativa da blockchain da Kaspa (@kaspaunchained). Por semanas, a Kaspa manteve a posição número um no ranking de sentimento da comunidade na CoinMarketCap — um feito que se destaca mesmo em um mercado amplamente positivo.
De acordo com o CaptainAltcoin, a Kaspa ficou em primeiro lugar no sentimento da comunidade na CoinMarketCap, com mais de 90% de votos otimistas. Esse entusiasmo reflete algo mais profundo do que a ação do preço no curto prazo. Mesmo quando o mercado mais amplo vira para o lado bearish, a comunidade da Kaspa tende a permanecer incomumente positiva, e o projeto consistentemente mantém uma das comunidades mais engajadas do setor cripto.

@Cardano has been one of the standout performers in the latest crypto market rally, with gains showing up not just in price but in network usage. $ADA has climbed sharply over the past couple of days, riding a wave of bullish sentiment that has lifted the broader digital asset market.
Onchain Activity Nearly Doubles in 48 Hours
The more telling story, however, is what is happening on the blockchain itself. Per ChainSpect, Cardano's daily transaction count almost doubled over a 48-hour window, with the network processing over 32,000 transactions in a single day after a 48% volume increase one day and a further 33% rise the next. That run broke another daily transaction record for the chain.
The surge in usage tracks with a broader pattern of growing network activity in 2026. Cardano's mainnet has now crossed 122.7 million cumulative transactions and has maintained 100% uptime for more than eight years since its 2017 launch. Transactions on Cardano have continued to be processed with relatively stable and fair fees, which has contributed to user retention and broader adoption.
Fundamentals Add Weight to the Rally
The price move has not come in a vacuum. Cardano has also achieved record decentralization, according to data from ChainSpect, with its Nakamoto coefficient reaching 16. A higher Nakamoto coefficient means more independent parties would need to be compromised to disrupt the network, a signal of improved resilience.
Cardano's Dijkstra era began on August 6, 2026, focusing on scalability with upgrades like Ouroboros Leios targeted for later in the year. Whales accumulated over 240 million ADA in early August, contributing to a 22% price surge, while Cardano's DeFi total value locked rose 11% to approximately $70 million over the same period.
Whether the current momentum can hold will depend on broader market conditions and continued adoption. But for now, both the price and the underlying network metrics are pointing in the same direction.

Aptos Hits 11.7 Million Daily Transactions
@Aptos has recorded a new all-time high of 11.7 million transactions in a single day, a 6.5% increase over the previous record set just 24 hours earlier. The back-to-back peaks signal that demand on the network is not a one-off spike but part of a sustained upward trend in on-chain activity.
The milestone fits into a broader pattern of accelerating growth in 2026. In early April, Aptos was handling around 5 to 6 million transactions daily, which increased to over 15 million at the beginning of May. Afterwards, activity ranged from 9 to 12 million daily, forming a new baseline. The 11.7 million figure reported on August 21 represents another step above that range.
Architecture Built for This Kind of Load
The numbers reflect an infrastructure deliberately engineered for high throughput. Aptos is a Layer-1 blockchain built for high transaction throughput and low fees, designed to support everything from DeFi and payments to real-world asset tokenization on a single network. The network carries a theoretical ceiling of 160,000 transactions per second, one of the highest published capacities among mainstream blockchains.
Much of that capacity comes from Aptos's parallel execution engine. Dynamic parallelism, facilitated by BlockSTM, ensures transactions are processed concurrently, boosting execution throughput significantly. A December 2025 milestone of sub-50-millisecond mainnet block times already makes Aptos the fastest major Layer-1 by block production speed.
The transaction growth also comes alongside broader ecosystem development. Aptos currently counts 1,200 active developers across 134 GitHub repositories, with 54,120 total code commits and 9,866 GitHub stars, figures that reflect sustained ecosystem development rather than a handful of isolated projects.
With daily transaction counts continuing to set new highs and network infrastructure designed to handle far greater loads, @Aptos appears to be building durable momentum rather than chasing short-term spikes.

TVL sobe, mas a diferença ano a ano permanece ampla
O valor total bloqueado (TVL) da @SuiNetwork aumentou 9,4% nos últimos 30 dias, chegando a US$ 459,5 milhões. O impulso no curto prazo é um sinal positivo para o ecossistema, mas o panorama geral é mais sóbrio: o TVL ainda está 77,4% abaixo do nível em que estava no mesmo período do ano passado. Para contexto, desde o lançamento do mainnet em maio de 2023, o TVL da Sui disparou aproximadamente 32 vezes, atingindo um pico de US$ 2,6 bilhões em outubro de 2025, antes de uma correção acentuada puxar o número de volta de forma considerável.

@Aster_DEX habilitou depósitos e retiradas de $USDG via a rede Robinhood (@RobinhoodCrypto), criando um on-ramp nativo que conecta a crescente base de usuários da Robinhood diretamente ao ecossistema de trading descentralizado da Aster.
O movimento remove um ponto de atrito significativo. Antes, para usuários que queriam mover liquidez de stablecoins entre plataformas centralizadas e descentralizadas, era necessário recorrer a protocolos de ponte de terceiros, que trazem tanto complexidade adicional quanto risco de contrato inteligente. Com essa integração, essa etapa é eliminada.

Pinetbook Joins the Pi Network Ecosystem
@Pinetbook, a social app built for the Pi community, is drawing growing attention after being officially welcomed into the Pi Network ecosystem by @PiCoreTeam. The integration centres on a "Sign In with Pi" feature, which lets users connect their Pinetbook accounts directly to their Pi wallets in a single step.
According to the platform's interface, once that connection is made, it is permanent. Users will be able to log back in easily at any time without repeating the process. Screenshots circulating on X appear to confirm how straightforward the onboarding experience is.
One of the more notable details is what the integration removes rather than adds. Pioneers linking their Pi wallets to Pinetbook may no longer need to complete a separate KYC verification process within the app, simplifying access for the network's large user base.
PNB Token Mining and the Broader Pi Ecosystem Play
Beyond login convenience, the integration is designed to drive engagement with Pinetbook's native PNB token. Once connected, users will be incentivised to mine PNB directly through the platform, adding a tangible utility layer to the social experience.
The move fits a wider pattern inside the Pi ecosystem. Pi Sign-In allows supported third-party websites and apps to offer Pi accounts as a sign-in or sign-up option, providing the infrastructure for applications and services to recognise, connect, and serve users across and outside the ecosystem. The feature has attracted attention from the Pi Network community because it represents a step toward a more connected Web3 experience, where users verify their identity through Pi authentication rather than registering separately for each platform.
Pi Network's approach follows a consistent logic: offer genuinely valuable services to the outside world, including easy sign-in via Pi Sign-In, and let that real-world utility naturally encourage external users and businesses to join the broader Pi ecosystem.
For pioneers already active on Pi Network, Pinetbook now offers a social layer that is directly wired to their existing wallet identity, with token incentives attached. Whether that combination drives lasting adoption will depend on how quickly the platform builds out its features and user base.

A atividade on-chain atinge novos máximos
@StellarOrg registrou até 3,7 milhões de transações em 20 de agosto, com 124.270 usuários ativos na rede naquele dia, segundo dados da DefiLlama. O número reflete atividade on-chain genuína em vez de capacidade ociosa, destacando a utilidade crescente da rede como camada de pagamentos e liquidação.
$XLM está atualmente cotado a US$ 0,191, conferindo ao token uma capitalização de mercado de US$ 6,58 bilhões. As taxas diárias on-chain ficaram em US$ 1.216, enquanto a média de 30 dias está em US$ 32.800, em linha com o design de longa data da rede de manter os custos de transação mínimos. As taxas médias na Stellar permaneceram próximas de US$ 0,0001 por transação, cerca de um centésimo de centavo.

O Dia Mais Movimentado do Sonic em um Mês
@SonicLabs publicou silenciosamente uma de suas mais fortes performances on-chain das últimas semanas em 20 de agosto, com o tráfego diário de rede subindo 12%, tornando aquele o dia mais ativo do protocolo no último mês. A movimentação passou amplamente despercebida em meio ao ruído mais amplo do mercado, mas os números contam uma história clara sobre onde está a demanda orgânica na rede.
O salto no tráfego foi impulsionado por uma base constante e crescente de usuários on-chain, e não por um único evento ou campanha de airdrop. Essa distinção importa. O uso sustentado e distribuído é um indicador mais confiável da saúde da rede do que picos ligados a incentivos pontuais, e sugere que a base de usuários do Sonic está se ampliando por conta própria.

Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) entregou um dos seus trechos mais fortes em tempos recentes. De acordo com a CoinGecko, o token subiu mais de 30% desde o início de 2026, o que significa que qualquer pessoa que manteve até janeiro agora está com ganhos.
Elevação ampla do mercado
A alta não existe isoladamente. O mercado cripto mais amplo disparou na última semana: o Bitcoin avançou até US$ 69.000 pela primeira vez em dois meses, após uma sequência de catalisadores macroeconômicos e regulatórios favoráveis. O Bitcoin chegou a US$ 69.000, enquanto o ether voltou a ficar acima de US$ 2.000, à medida que os mercados reagiram à decisão do Tesouro de dobrar o tamanho de certas recompra de títulos com vencimentos mais longos e à proposta da SEC de uma nova estrutura para ofertas de cripto. Entre os tokens cripto, um recorde de US$ 2,7 bilhões em apostas baixistas foi apagado.

Whale Books $2.36 Million on $ASTER Leveraged Long
A crypto whale has turned heads in the decentralized derivatives market after pocketing $2.36 million in profit from a leveraged long position on @Aster_DEX. The trade, which involved $ASTER tokens, came during a period of strong upward price momentum, with the token gaining 19% over the past seven days.
According to on-chain data, the whale still holds 3.2 million $ASTER tokens valued at roughly $2.27 million, alongside approximately $190,000 in unrealized paper gains. The position signals continued conviction in the token even after banking a multimillion-dollar return.
Aster DEX: A Growing Force in On-Chain Perpetuals
The trade adds to a broader pattern of large-scale activity on the platform. Aster DEX emerged from a strategic merger between APX Finance and Astherus, with the goal of building a high-performance decentralized derivatives platform capable of supporting advanced perpetual trading. In June 2026, Aster DEX announced a sweeping tokenomics upgrade directing 99% of daily platform fees into automatic $ASTER buybacks for veASTER stakers, while triggering matching burns to reduce total supply toward 3 billion tokens.
Aster's staking dashboard shows an active epoch running from August 17 to August 24, 2026, with a sizeable ASTER supply staked to validators. The ongoing staking program rewards long-term locking, which can dampen sell pressure during market-wide bounces.
The whale activity on @Aster_DEX reflects a wider trend of institutional-scale traders treating the platform as a serious venue. Aster, a decentralized exchange for on-chain perpetuals, has moved ahead of Hyperliquid in daily trading volume on at least one occasion, with data from DefiLlama showing Aster facilitating roughly $793 million in transactions over a 24-hour period, outpacing Hyperliquid's $462 million. While that single-day gap has since narrowed, it underscored the platform's growing reach.
For traders watching $ASTER, the combination of a bullish whale still sitting on a large position and an active buyback-and-burn program gives the token a set of near-term catalysts worth monitoring. As always, leveraged positions in volatile assets carry significant risk on both sides of the trade.

Uma camada de mensagens e transferência segura para blockchains
O Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (Protocolo de Interoperabilidade entre Cadeias) da Chainlink, ou CCIP, foi criado para permitir que aplicações se comuniquem entre diferentes redes de blockchain. Em termos simples, ele funciona como uma camada de mensagens e transferência segura entre cadeias que, de outra forma, seriam desconectadas.
O CCIP é uma solução de interoperabilidade de blockchain projetada para mover com segurança dados e valor entre mais de 60 blockchains públicas e privadas por meio de uma única integração. Essa amplitude é importante em um mercado em que liquidez, usuários e aplicações estão cada vez mais distribuídos entre ecossistemas concorrentes.

Receita de taxas cresce com a expansão mais ampla da plataforma
A Hyperliquid (@HyperliquidX), a bolsa descentralizada de futuros perpétuos, reportou um aumento de 31% na receita de taxas em agosto, ano contra ano, impulsionado pelo crescimento dos volumes de negociação e por uma base de usuários maior. As taxas brutas da Hyperliquid subiram 31% em comparação ao período do ano anterior, mesmo com ventos contrários na receita central do seu negócio de perpétuos cripto.
A plataforma expandiu de forma constante sua presença no mercado de derivativos descentralizados. A Hyperliquid atingiu um recorde de 263.666 traders ativos de contratos perpétuos, enquanto a participação de usuários continuava crescendo em toda a plataforma. Esse número subiu de forma acentuada em relação a cerca de 150.000 traders ativos em janeiro de 2026 e 127.000 em agosto de 2025.

Bridging Institutional Finance and Emerging Markets
Plume Network and Reah are joining forces to expand access to tokenized financial assets for businesses across emerging markets. The partnership aims to place institutional-grade investment products alongside fiat, stablecoins, and other treasury assets, targeting companies in Indonesia, Mexico, and Malaysia.
The product lineup includes U.S. Treasuries, AAA collateralised loan obligations (CLOs), private credit, and bond funds. These are asset classes that have historically been out of reach for most businesses outside major financial centres. The partnership is focused on making them more accessible through onchain infrastructure.
Plume Network provides the underlying vault architecture for the arrangement. The network bundles asset issuance tooling, compliance-aware accounts, and an onchain data feed into one stack, so issuers of treasuries, credit, and commodities can operate under a single execution environment. The network embeds regulatory tools such as KYC and AML directly into its protocol layer to facilitate institutional-grade transactions.
Reah, for its part, operates as a financial operating system that unifies fiat banking, digital assets treasury, and AI-native execution for global businesses. The platform manages money across fiat and digital assets with unified control, supports regulated named accounts in USD, GBP, and EUR, and offers global coverage across 150 countries. Integrating Plume Network's onchain vaults directly into that stack gives Reah's business clients a straightforward route into tokenized asset exposure.
A Growing Market With Institutional Momentum
The timing reflects broader momentum in the tokenized asset space. The category sits at roughly $30 billion onchain in Q1 2026, up from under $5 billion at the start of 2024. Growth is concentrated in two segments: tokenized Treasuries, which offer regulated money-market exposure for crypto-native treasuries, and tokenized private credit, which provides yield products for funds and decentralised organisations.
Plume Network itself has built considerable scale. The network holds licences from the Bermuda Monetary Authority and has obtained SEC transfer agent approval, a relatively rare credential in the tokenized asset space. It offers access to institutional assets that were once reserved for large investors, including AAA CLOs, structured receivables, and market-neutral strategies.
The Reah partnership fits into that broader ambition. By routing products through Reah's unified banking platform, Plume Network gains distribution to business clients in fast-growing markets where access to dollar-denominated, yield-bearing instruments has traditionally been limited. For those businesses, the arrangement offers a practical entry point into assets that carry the kind of quality ratings and liquidity profiles normally associated with institutional portfolios.

A pressão do presidente Donald Trump por uma nova legislação de criptomoedas fez os memecoins da família, baseados em Solana, subirem acentuadamente nesta semana, enquanto mercados cripto mais amplos avançavam com otimismo renovado em torno da regulamentação de ativos digitais dos EUA.
Memecoins disparam com a chamada de Trump por uma Lei de Clareza
O token oficial de Trump (solana:6p6xgHyF7AeE6TZkSmFsko444wqoP15icUSqi2jfGiPN) saltou 28% em dois dias, atingindo uma capitalização de mercado de US$ 441 milhões, enquanto o token oficial de Melania (solana:FUAfBo2jgks6gB4Z4LfZkqSZgzNucisEHqnNebaRxM1P) subiu 24%, chegando a uma capitalização de mercado de US$ 86 milhões. As altas ocorreram após comentários que Trump fez durante um encontro na Casa Branca com executivos do setor cripto.

Stellar atinge máxima histórica enquanto concorrentes recuam
A Stellar está na contramão de um recuo amplo na atividade de desenvolvedores de blockchain. De acordo com o relatório do segundo trimestre de 2026 da Stellar Development Foundation, a Stellar atingiu 2.968 desenvolvedores ativos mensais em 30 de junho, um recorde, ficando em segundo lugar no mundo e à frente tanto da Solana quanto do Bitcoin, segundo a Electric Capital. A atividade subiu 125% ano a ano, enquanto todo o restante dos principais ecossistemas contraiu.
O contraste com redes concorrentes é gritante. O Ethereum caiu 58%, a Solana recuou 68% e a Base viu seus desenvolvedores ativos mensais diminuírem 64% no mesmo período. Isso acontece em meio a um contexto de fraqueza generalizada na indústria. A atividade de desenvolvedores desacelerou no fim de 2025 e se estendeu até o início de 2026, com a atividade geral de desenvolvedores de blockchain em queda de 17% com base em contas engajadas no GitHub. A atividade de desenvolvedores em projetos de blockchain caiu acentuadamente desde o início de 2025: as remessas semanais de código cripto diminuíram cerca de 75% e os desenvolvedores ativos caíram 56%, mesmo enquanto a inteligência artificial absorve grande parte desse talento e esforço.

InterLink (@inter_link) has crossed 10 million Linkers, a landmark for the human-centric blockchain project that has been building one of the fastest-growing verified user networks in Web3.
The project says the milestone was driven by community participation, on-chain activity and Human Node operations. The concept of Human Nodes redefined participation on-chain by anchoring network activity to verified human presence rather than hardware or capital. InterLink is built on a Proof of Personhood consensus mechanism that uses facial liveness detection to eliminate bots, fake accounts and automated manipulation, ensuring rewards go directly to authentic human participants.
Buyback, Badges and Commemorative NFTs
Timed to coincide with the milestone, InterLink Labs launched its first reverse auction buyback for $ITL. The auction runs until August 24. Repurchased $ITL will be directed toward rewarding early participants with exclusive badges and commemorative NFTs as part of the First 10M Linkers Celebration Program.
$ITL is designed to embody institutional alignment and long-term credibility within the InterLink ecosystem, playing a critical role in enabling structured access to the Human Layer, a global network of verified, bot-resistant users. InterLink emphasises community-first tokenomics, allocating 50% of tokens to users, alongside burn and buyback mechanics.
Global Offline Events and Avatar Campaign
Beyond the on-chain activity, InterLink is taking the celebration offline. Events are planned across India, Korea, Indonesia, Nigeria and several other markets, bringing Linkers together in person to mark the occasion.
The project has also launched a special avatar campaign exclusive to the first 10 million Linkers. The first 10M Linkers have built something that has never existed before, and the milestone will be celebrated together.
Looking further ahead, InterLink's roadmap targets 10 million fully verified real human users worldwide as a foundation for expanding the reach of the InterLink Token to tens of millions of users through AI-funded UBI initiatives and broad adoption across 180 countries.
