Verified $ITLG is Not Meant to Be Sold: The InterLink Equity Model

[Beyond Crypto #1] — The “Golden Goose” Logic Behind Holding Verified $ITLG⠀

⠀

Bitcoin is mined by machines. Verified $ITLG can only be created by humans.

As we approach the era of Verified $ITLG, one question dominates the InterLink community:

⠀

Many people imagine a simple exchange — like swapping local currency into dollars at an airport.

⠀

But when you actually examine InterLink’s official structure, this assumption turns out to be fundamentally wrong.

InterLink is not a simple token exchange system.

⠀

Today, in Part 1, we dismantle the biggest misconception about Verified $ITLG and $ITL — and explain why everything in this economy must begin with the Human Node.

⠀

1️⃣ The Core Concept: Equity vs. Reward⠀

The Verified $ITLG you earn through mining and Security Group verification is not a disposable point.

Conceptually, it behaves much closer to an Equity-like token that represents participation and governance.

⠀

🔶 Verified $ITLG ≈ Equity (Voting Power)

• It represents your right to participate in DAO voting and ecosystem governance.
• Most importantly: Receiving rewards does NOT eliminate your Verified $ITLG. Your underlying asset remains intact.

⠀

🔶 $ITL ≈ Liquid Dividend (Reward Token)

• This is the utility token generated when you hold or stake Verified $ITLG.
• It is the asset used for payments, trading, and real-world utility.

⠀

💡 The Equation is Simple:

❌ Migration = Selling your asset for cash (One-time event)

✅ Reality = Holding your Verified $ITLG while rewards ($ITL) are generated on top of it (Recurring event)

⠀

2️⃣ Why “Verified”? Only Human Nodes Can Create It⠀

So where does this asset come from? Can you buy Verified $ITLG with capital? Can you generate it with GPU farms? ​ No.

⠀

⠀

Bitcoin uses Machine Nodes powered by electricity.

InterLink uses Human Nodes, powered by Trust and Social Verification.

⠀

Verification happens through the Security Group system, which proves:

• “I am not a bot.”
• “I am a real human actively participating in the network.”

⠀

Only after this verification does Verified $ITLG become valid. This structure ensures that capital cannot mass-produce it, and hardware cannot monopolize it.

⠀

💡 Done.T’s Note

Most crypto assets are mined by energy. Verified $ITLG is mined by human existence.

⠀

3️⃣ The Economic Mechanism: Protect the Goose⠀

Here is the core mechanism of InterLink’s economy:

$ITL is generated ONLY when Verified $ITLG is staked.

⠀

If short-term profit causes you to abandon your Verified $ITLG, you effectively sacrifice the long-term reward structure.

The classic analogy applies here:

⠀

⠀

To maintain a healthy ecosystem, InterLink provides two clear strategies:

1. Immediate Liquidity: Receive allocated $ITL and use it directly.
2. Staking for Growth: Stake Verified $ITLG and receive higher long-term rewards based on contribution.

⠀

In both cases, the core remains identical: Your Verified $ITLG remains your base asset — and it continues to generate value over time.

⠀

🔜 Part 2 Preview: Human Nodes and UBI⠀

Let’s connect the final dots.

⠀

This structure closely resembles the logic behind Universal Basic Income (UBI).

⠀

In Part 2, we will explore how the Human Credit System (HCS) turns this mechanism into a Merit-Based Basic Income, creating a new economic layer for Web3.
