INK Token Airdrop: Optimism Superchain’s Ink Network Hits New Milestones
INK Token Airdrop—Kraken’s Layer 2 blockchain, Ink, built on Optimism’s Superchain, is experiencing rapid growth ahead of its native INK token launch.
Transaction Activity Hits New Highs
Activity on the Ink network surged recently. Daily transactions exceeded 500,000, and active smart contracts nearly doubled since May, reaching 6,000 contracts by June 18. This spike follows the Ink Foundation’s announcement of the INK token, featuring a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens and a community airdrop via a liquidity pool on Aave.
Despite increased usage, Ink’s total value locked (TVL) remains modest at under $8 million, indicating room for capital growth.

EVM Compatibility and Developer Incentives
Launched in December 2024, Ink is fully EVM-compatible, enabling seamless migration of Ethereum-based dApps with lower fees and faster speeds.
The INK token will not play a role in governance decisions.
Positioning in the Superchain Ecosystem
Ink joins Optimism’s Superchain, a network of interconnected Layer 2s including Base, Uniswap’s L2, and projects from Sony and Worldcoin. Backed by Kraken, Ink could rival Coinbase’s Base.
