Speed is easy to talk about. What really matters is certainty and that’s where @inter_link is focusing. On @inter_link, it’s not just about how fast a transaction moves, but how quickly it becomes final. Right now, transactions settle in about 3–5 seconds with almost zero fees. That’s fast, no doubt. But more importantly, once it’s confirmed, it stays confirmed. Looking at other networks: Ethereum can take longer to reach true finality, and while Solana is fast, it can sometimes run into ordering challenges. Interlink is taking a different route, building with deterministic finality using a Byzantine fault-tolerant approach. In simple terms, once a transaction goes through, there’s no going back. That level of certainty is what real-world payments actually need. And it’s not stopping there. There’s already work going into quantum-resistant layers, aiming to keep the network secure long-term without slowing things down or increasing costs. The next big step is the Taj Mahal Testnet. This phase will show: • how vITLG and $ITL function with real on-chain use • how the network performs under practical conditions • how the payment system begins to scale in real scenarios This isn’t just another blockchain trying to compete on speed. It’s being built as a reliable payment system from day one. #InterLink #ITLG #ITL
