We are entering the final stage of infrastructure deployment - the moment our focus shifts from building to scaling usability and real-world adoption. This communiqué brings together where we stand, how the economy works, and exactly where we are going over the next three years. ## Proven infrastructure, not theory LayerK is not a concept. It is an operational blockchain network with verifiable on-chain activity: transaction records, wallet interactions, and block production that can be independently validated through public explorers. We do not ask you to take our word for it. We ask you to read the chain. The architecture is built in three clear layers: • LayerK is the protocol infrastructure: the chain itself. • Nodes (AiX devices) perform the real computational workload. • Homnifi is the user interface and access layer. This structure keeps the system a distributed infrastructure network, not a centralized platform. ## How value is created and captured LayerK turns hardware into productive digital infrastructure, and turns that productivity into token scarcity. #### The nodes do real work Each node is a multi-purpose device that can run many real services at once: decentralized VPN, residential ethical proxy and bandwidth supply, blockchain validation, AI training bandwidth, IoT and smart-city data, content delivery, and enterprise services such as ad verification and brand protection. These are services that real companies and real users already pay for today. #### The work generates real revenue The network sells this computational capacity and connectivity to actual customers, settled through the protocol in LYK. #### The revenue feeds the token Revenue flows in one direction: 1\. Machines earn - the fleet produces computational work and connectivity that customers pay for. 2\. Earnings buy LYK - revenue purchases LYK on the open market. 3\. LYK is burned - bought-back tokens are permanently removed from supply. Supply is fixed at 1 billion LYK and can only go down. More machines and more usage mean more buy-back, and more buy-back means a scarcer supply. The loop is self-reinforcing: more compute, more revenue, more buy-back, less supply, and a stronger foundation for the next wave of nodes. Inside the protocol, LYK also serves functional roles: gas for transactions, interaction with decentralized applications, and participation in protocol mechanisms. ## Why this is different from most tokens The vast majority of tokens have no product, no customers, and no revenue. Their price is driven almost entirely by speculation. LayerK is built on the opposite premise. What makes the model genuinely innovative is the closed loop between real-world infrastructure and token economics: the harder the network works, the scarcer the token becomes, and every burn is publicly auditable. This is not a bet on a narrative. It is infrastructure that produces value, an economy that captures it, and a ledger that proves it. ## Transparency you can verify A public transparency page is live so anyone can audit the economy in real time: • The fleet: machines online and producing computational work. • The revenue: income generated from selling that compute. • The buy-back: how revenue purchases LYK on the open market. • The on-chain burn: LYK permanently destroyed, read directly from the burn wallet on a public explorer. The burn is the part you do not have to trust. It is recorded on-chain and verifiable by anyone, at any time. Network revenue and fleet figures are reported by LayerK for transparency; the on-chain burn is the independently verifiable anchor. ## What is shipping now - 2026 Foundation complete; utility switched on. Hardware is in delivery and the first wave of real utility is reaching users. ### Live now

### Imminent

Slyk

Launching soon for the community.

Coming soon

Node Center & applications

Going live next week — access linked to node participation.

Next week

Machine Validator

## Roadmap 2026 - 2029 A distributed computing network is not built in a quarter. Here is the direction of travel, stage by stage. These are operational targets and ambitions, not financial guarantees. #### 2026 - *Foundation · you are here* Complete the foundation, switch on utility. • App Store and its first apps reach users' hands • DAO, Machine Validator, Node Center and Slyk operational. • Buy-back and burn running publicly via the Resources page. • AiX1 and GEN 3 deliveries scaling. • First B2B pilots signed. **Node target: 6,000 – 8,000** #### 2027 - *Scale the fleet* Grow the fleet, deepen utility. • Grow the active node fleet across multiple priority countries. • Expand the App Store catalogue beyond the first applications. • Convert B2B pilots into recurring, revenue-generating integrations. • Mature DAO governance so the community steers the protocol. • Strengthen the buy-back engine as fleet revenue grows. **Node target: 20,000** #### 2028 - *Anchor demand* Anchor demand in real consumption. • B2B demand becomes a primary driver of token utility. • Nodes distribute broadly across many countries for true decentralization. • LayerK stands as a globally distributed computing network - the alternative to centralized data centers. • The loop becomes self-sustaining: real demand, more compute, more buy-back, more scarcity. **Node target: 35,000** #### 2029 - *Global scale* Continue toward the 36-month vision. • Continue toward the 36-month vision of 3,000–4,000 nodes per country. • A truly global, distributed computing network. **Node target: 100,000** ## Staying true to the vision From the earliest community platforms to today's architecture, this ecosystem has evolved through many stages toward a single objective: building a decentralized, infrastructure-driven digital ecosystem. We remain committed to that vision. This is not the end of the journey. It is the beginning of real-world execution at scale. \- The LayerK Team *Disclaimer: These are operational targets and ambitions, not financial guarantees. The Hash Contribution Engine is a probabilistic system with rare, high-value outcomes by design - not a guaranteed yield mechanism.
