InterLink: Using AI + Blockchain for identification verification, this trap logic is interesting.

Recently saw a project called InterLink that combines facial recognition and Blockchain. The core idea is to create a “digital identity” (InterLink ID) that allows you to log in to the App without exposing private data, just by using facial recognition. This kind of operation is indeed rare in Web3.

How does the project make money?

Three main business lines:

• Identification: Use AI for facial recognition, replacing traditional passwords, which is both convenient and privacy-friendly.
• DeFi ecosystem: Built-in DEX, lending, mining, and other financial products, with token incentives
• Game + Metaverse: Supports Web3 game integration, providing a one-stop digital identity solution.

These services revolve around InterLink ID, somewhat like moving the Alipay account system to Web3.

What is $ITLG

It is the native token within the ecosystem, and its main use is:

• Staking rewards
• Pay network service fee
• Governance Voting

Key Information: The official plan is to upgrade $ITLG to the new token $ITL in Q3 2025, equivalent to a generational upgrade.

Free airdrop, get $ITLG

for free The project has launched an airdrop plan: after registering a digital identity, you will directly receive 1500 $ITLG, free of charge. The app is now available on Google Play and Apple Store, and the invitation code is 053960.

The endorsement strength is quite good.

• University of Waterloo (Canada): Collaborated with Interop Labs to invest $1 million in research.
• New to The Street: Collaboration with American television media to produce special programs.
• InterLink Foundation: Continuously providing grants to developers within the ecosystem.

These endorsements indicate that the project has some substance at least in academic and communication aspects.

How to view this project

The core logic of InterLink is to use identification as the entry point, rather than wallet addresses. This indeed addresses a major pain point in Web3 user experience - most people are still accustomed to using biometrics rather than remembering long strings of private keys. If this system can be made secure enough, it truly has potential in the gaming and DeFi sectors.

But it's also important to be clear: this is still a new project, and the real activity level of DeFi and gaming applications needs to be observed. Don't let the hype of airdrops cloud your judgment. If you're interested, you can first try out the free coins to experience it before deciding whether to participate deeply.
