The staking ratio is now being decided by the community through DAO voting. “Among the most important proposals the DAO has ever seen, the options presented have been generated with the support of machine learning models trained on network data and economic simulations. The analysis is data-driven. The decision belongs to the community.” A few important notes: • Verified ITLG and regular ITLG are fundamentally the same token. The only difference is that ITLG will gradually be converted into verified ITLG on the mainnet through different phases. • Staking ITLG does NOT mean locking your tokens away. The ITLG remains inside the owner’s wallet at all times. Staking simply grants additional rights and allocation benefits for ITL ownership. • During the Private Mainnet phase, all ITLG and ITL mainnet tokens will only be owned by Human Nodes. The core team will not hold or sell tokens to VCs or treasury partners. (The only exception is when the InterLink Foundation sponsors developers building dApps within the ecosystem.) • There will be multiple lock and vesting options with different ratios. Users will also have flexibility in the amount they choose to stake rather than being forced into a single fixed structure. • In the early stages, ITLG/ITL will begin with an extremely high level of scarcity, with circulating supply close to zero outside of Human Nodes, while demand absorption is expected to come from dApps, Business Tokens, treasury partners, and investors. This is NOT intended to artificially increase price, since the core team does not hold any mainnet tokens. The main objective is to minimize the possibility of large holders manipulating the market, reduce speculation, and focus #InterLink #ITLG #ITL
