InterLink Tackles Web3 Bots With Human-Verified Accounts

Web3's biggest problem is bots and fake wallets, where one person can control thousands of identities at once. InterLink Labs aims to fix this with Proof of Personhood, which ties network access to a verified human face instead of an anonymous wallet address.

The current system treats every wallet as equal, regardless of who controls it, making decentralization possible but also opening the door to Sybil attacks. This shows up in ways like bots farming airdrops, fake accounts swinging governance votes, and automated wallets inflating engagement metrics.

InterLink's answer is to make every account provably human before participating in the network. Users download the app, complete facial recognition and liveness checks, generating an encrypted identity hash stored on-chain. This confirms a unique human without duplicates or farmed accounts.

The project uses a dual-token structure: ITLG as the primary governance and utility token, and ITL for external payments and institutional use. InterLink reported over 5 million verified users as of early 2026, but no more recent figure has been published.
