The present announcement is an updated and clarified version of the communication originally published on January 19, 2023. Its purpose is to transparently outline the most important developments concerning the future of the ILK token following the conclusion of the Inlock platform’s recovery processes.

As the Inlock platform’s Scheduled Release Program will conclude in the first half of 2026, the platform began preparing the necessary steps for the future operation of the ILK token at the end of 2025. Following the conclusion of the Scheduled Release Program, the ILK token market function operated within the Inlock platform will cease, as no further USDC withdrawals will be possible. This change has made it necessary to redefine the operational framework of the ILK token.

ILK Token Withdrawal and Decentralized Trading

It is important to emphasize that the ILK token was not part of the recovery process and was not involved in the Scheduled Release Program. Accordingly, the platform has enabled the withdrawal of ILK tokens on the Ethereum network. This marks the beginning of a new phase: the ILK token is progressively transitioning into the hands of the community and becoming accessible in an open, decentralized environment. While users were previously able to exchange ILK tokens with one another within the Inlock platform, the introduction of the withdrawal function now enables ILK to be freely traded outside the platform on decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

Available Decentralized Platforms

SushiSwap (ILK–ETH pool) https://www.sushi.com/ethereum/swap?token0=NATIVE&token1=0xf784682c82526e245f50975190ef0fff4e4fc077 KyberSwap https://kyberswap.com/swap/ethereum/eth-to-0xf784682c82526e245f50975190ef0fff4e4fc077 The ILK pool is also accessible through most major DEXs and DeFi aggregators.

Security Information

The safety of our users remains a top priority. Please carefully consider the following:

  • The ILK token is available exclusively on the Ethereum network.
  • The official smart contract address is: 0xf784682c82526e245f50975190ef0fff4e4fc077
  • Any token with the same name deployed on another network or under a different contract address should be treated as highly suspicious and potentially fraudulent.
  • On EVM-based networks, so-called “zero transfer phishing” transactions may occur. Always verify the full blockchain address before signing any transaction.
  • On decentralized exchanges, significant price slippage may occur depending on liquidity conditions. Please review the expected execution rate before completing any swap.

Meaningful liquidity is expected to appear on decentralized markets starting from the second quarter of 2026 . During the initial period, we strongly recommend exercising increased caution.

Key Deadlines

  • June 30, 2026 – Termination of the ILK token market on the Inlock platform
  • June 30, 2026 – Final deadline for ILK token withdrawals from the Inlock platform

Please take these deadlines into consideration when planning the necessary actions.

The Future of Gold Badge Management

The final Gold Badge distribution on the Inlock platform will take place on March 31, 2026. Thereafter, Gold Badge distribution will continue directly on the Vigiler platform, under the same schedule and conditions as previously applied on the Inlock platform. In order to continue participation, users must register their ILK token wallet on the Vigiler platform. Following registration, the periodic distribution will continue automatically. Until June 30, 2026, the Inlock platform will maintain the Badge Auction system, which allows users to purchase Gold Badges in exchange for ILK tokens. The Badge conversion function will also remain available until this date, enabling the conversion of Silver and Bronze Badges into Gold Badges. In addition, the Gold Badge transfer function will remain available until June 30, 2026, allowing users to transfer their existing Gold Badge holdings to the Vigiler platform.

The Future of the ILK Token and Its Community Role

We firmly believe that one of the most important foundations of the ILK token’s long-term value lies in community ownership and open, decentralized accessibility.

By enabling the ILK token to be traded on decentralized exchanges, a transparent and market-driven environment is created for the community. This strengthens the token’s independence and allows its value to be shaped by real supply and demand dynamics. At the same time, the Vigiler platform continues to provide tangible utility for the ILK token through Gold Badge issuance and the associated “fee rebate” mechanism. The Badge system ensures that the long-term success of the ILK token remains closely aligned with the long-term success and growth of the Vigiler platform. Our objective is for ILK to evolve into a community-driven asset operating in a decentralized market environment, while maintaining a strong utility connection to an active and continuously developing platform.

Statement Regarding Service Wind-Down

This announcement is sent to all users who:

  • maintain an active Inlock account, and
  • hold a balance exceeding 25,000 ILK (which is also the minimum withdrawable amount).

To ensure that the information reaches all affected users, the platform will attempt delivery on multiple occasions. The Inlock platform reserves the right to modify the termination dates of the listed products and services if required by regulatory obligations or suspected market abuse. Following the discontinuation of the affected services and products, Inlock customer support will remain available to ILK token and Gold Badge holders until December 31, 2026. During this period, assistance may be provided on a case-by-case basis to users who, for verifiable reasons, were unable to complete the required actions before the specified deadlines. Inlock will suspend and terminate the relevant services and products in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Service Agreement (Terms of Use), making all reasonable efforts to properly inform its users. The operator of the Vigiler platform will continue to provide Gold Badge issuance without time limitation and will maintain the “fee rebate” service for activated Gold Badges in accordance with the Terms of Use. The operator reserves the right to periodically review the volume and schedule of Gold Badge issuance.
