Interlay prijs 

INTR

INTR features an unlimited supply. The emission schedule is defined as follows:

• 1 billion (1,000,000,000) INTR emitted over the first 4 years
• 2% annual inflation afterwards, allocated to the protocol treasury to fund future development and maintenance.

70% of the supply is distributed to the community as airdrops and block rewards: 30% to Vault rewards 5% to governance staking rewards (“stake-to-vote”), and 35% to the on-chain treasury controlled by network governance (of which 10% are airdropped during the first crowdloan). 10% are allocated to a reserve, to be spent on network development and community & ecosystem building. 20% are airdropped to the (current and future) team and early backers who funded the initial development.

Interlay was created by Alexei Zamyatin and Dominik Harz. The two met in 2017 during their PhDs at Imperial College London where they were the first researchers in the cryptocurrency lab. Both have been researching Bitcoin and Ethereum since 2015/16, authoring over 30 papers with over 1000 citations. Both regularly presented their work at Bitcoin and Ethereum conferences, including DevCon IV, EthCC, Building on Bitcoin, and Breaking Bitcoin.

The first steps towards Interlay and Interlay were made when the XCLAIM paper was presented at the Scaling Bitcoin in 2018 - describing the first-ever protocol to move cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to Ethereum in an economically trustless and decentralized manner. In 2020, the two founded Interlay to bring research into practice. Today, Interlay employs 23 staff, including developers with experience at Google, Morgan Stanley, Trivago, Accenture, PwC, Worldpay, and Atlassian.

Interlay is a modular, programmable layer situated between Bitcoin and the multichain ecosystem. It is the only Bitcoin-centric layer 1 that is decentralized across the entire stack: from trustless BTC bridge to BTC DeFi hub

Leveraging BTC as the main reserve asset and source of liquidity, Interlay’s stack provides a set of custody and bridge tools that allow applications to tailor asset management to their specific use case. Structured as a marketplace, Interlay already supports collateralized bridges, and will add threshold shared custody (incl. institutions and 3rd party providers), as well as discrete log contracts (DLCs), and zero-knowledge contingent payments (ZKCPs). To enhance security and user experience, Interlay will incorporate social sign-in options like Google-sign in and opt-in recovery mechanisms via federation counter-signing and identity verification.

Interlay is launching both EVM (for compatibility) and Rust smart contracts that are optimal for BTC-centric development (compatible with widely adopted Bitcoin-core libraries and tooling). Thereby, builders can seamlessly access built-in DeFi tooling (AMM and lending) and assets from other ecosystems, including stablecoins and blue-chip L1 assets. This puts Interlay in a unique position to help improve upon the rather centralized BTC stack (Lightning nodes, Nostr servers, indexers, CEXes) with decentralized custody and smart contracts.
