ANNOUNCEMENT — LAYERK ECOSYSTEM UPDATE

Dear Community,

Today marks an important milestone in the evolution of the LayerK ecosystem.

We are entering what we define as the final stage of infrastructure deployment, where our focus shifts from building to scaling usability and real-world adoption.

Proven Infrastructure — Not Theory

LayerK is not a concept — it is an operational blockchain network with verifiable on-chain activity, including transaction records, wallet interactions, and block production that can be independently validated through public explorers .

Transition to Usability

Our mission now evolves from infrastructure creation to user accessibility and practical utility.

This transition is fully aligned with the architecture of the ecosystem:

• LayerK → Protocol infrastructure

• Nodes (AiX devices) → Real computational workload

• Homnifi → User interface and access layer

This structure ensures that the system operates as a distributed infrastructure network, not a centralized platform.

Hardware Deployment Milestone

We are proud to confirm that:

AiX1 machine deliveries have officially started

This represents a major achievement, as these devices form the physical backbone of the decentralized infrastructure network, enabling real computational participation across regions.

App Store Launch — Real Utility Begins

The upcoming LayerK App Store will introduce the first wave of decentralized utility applications, accessible to users operating node devices.

Initial applications will include:

1. VPN (Virtual Private Network)

• Secure and encrypted internet access

• Decentralized routing through distributed nodes

• Enhanced privacy and protection of user data

2. Ad Blocker

• Network-level ad filtering

• Improved browsing speed and reduced data consumption

• Cleaner and safer online experience

3. Hash Contribution Engine

The Hash Contribution Engine enables distributed, CPU-based participation in Bitcoin hash discovery through a coordinated network.

• Uses lightweight CPU hashing instead of centralized ASIC mining

• Connects to a gateway that submits valid results to the Bitcoin network

• Operates as a probabilistic system with rare, high-value discovery outcomes

Access to these services will be directly linked to node participation, reinforcing the connection between infrastructure contribution and utility access.

B2B Strategy — Expanding Real Demand

Our next strategic phase focuses on B2B integration.

The objective is clear:

Bring real, external demand and utility to the LYK token

Within the LayerK protocol, the LYK token serves functional roles such as:

• transaction fees (gas)

• interaction with decentralized applications

• participation in protocol mechanisms

By expanding into B2B partnerships, we aim to anchor token usage in real services and infrastructure consumption, not speculation.

Global Infrastructure Vision

Our long-term target:

3,000–4,000 nodes per country within 36 months

This supports the vision of building a globally distributed computing network, aligned with the concept of decentralized infrastructure rather than centralized data centers .

Staying True to the Vision

From the earliest community platforms to today’s architecture, the ecosystem has evolved through multiple stages toward a unified objective:

Building a decentralized, infrastructure-driven digital ecosystem

We remain committed to that vision.

This is not the end of the journey.

This is the beginning of real-world execution at scale.
