10M is just the beginning.
Thank you, and congratulations to every Linker who has been part of this journey, whether you joined us from day one or somewhere along the way. From the bottom of my heart, I am truly grateful to be a part of this journey with all of you.
Along this journey, there have been things that I or the InterLink Labs team could have done better, and mistakes that we have made. I sincerely hope for your understanding, and we will continue to learn, improve, and do better. What I can promise is that we will continue learning, improving, and working even harder to be worthy of the trust every Linker has placed in us.
There is still a long road ahead. As we enter our next chapter, I would like to share the path we are building and the key areas we will focus on over the next five years.
1. Post-Quantum Security
With the extraordinary acceleration of AI and quantum computing, we believe the threat to today’s cryptographic systems can no longer be treated as a distant possibility. Six months ago, we began recruiting world-class researchers and cryptographers to prepare InterLink for this challenge.
Our goal is not simply to react when quantum computers become powerful enough to threaten existing cryptography. We want InterLink to be prepared long before that day arrives.
The InterLink Foundation has already made important early progress in researching post-quantum digital signatures and cryptographic architectures. This includes mechanisms that allow users to generate new private keys from their existing seed phrases while using Address Alias to preserve their existing wallet addresses, tokens, and NFTs during migration to a new security architecture. We are also experimenting with SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s (FIPS 205) within IRC smart contracts to introduce an additional layer of post-quantum protection for vaults and high-value digital assets.
These experiments are currently being conducted on the InterLink Taj Mahal Testnet, where our early implementations have successfully passed the NIST-based simulation tests we are conducting.
For us, post-quantum security is not something to think about five years from now. The preparation has already begun.
2. Infrastructure for Real-World Assets
As we can already see, RWA and tokenization are no longer concepts for the future. They are becoming reality right now.
Stocks, bonds, funds, commodities, and many other traditional assets are gradually moving on-chain. Even exposure to shares of some of the world’s largest companies, such as Google and Amazon, can now be accessed through tokenized products. What once looked like an experiment is increasingly becoming part of the global financial infrastructure.
To me, RWA will be one of the most sustainable long-term trends of the next decade, alongside AI. McKinsey estimates that the market for tokenized financial assets could reach approximately $2 trillion by 2030. But I believe the bigger transformation is not only about bringing existing financial assets on-chain. It is about making tokenization accessible to millions of businesses around the world.
So where does InterLink fit into this?
Today, tokenizing a business remains extremely difficult. A company needs blockchain infrastructure, smart contracts, liquidity mechanisms, technical expertise, and significant legal and regulatory resources. For smaller businesses and startups, these barriers can make tokenization almost impossible.
This is exactly the infrastructure gap we want InterLink Business Token Exchange (IBTE) to address.
Most tokenization platforms today focus on bringing assets onto infrastructure built by someone else. For example, tokenized assets may be issued and distributed through existing networks such as Ethereum. InterLink’s vision is different: we want to build the entire infrastructure required for businesses to tokenize within one ecosystem.
