Ink is an Ethereum Layer 2 launched by the exchange Kraken. It is built on the OP Stack and belongs to the Optimism Superchain. Transactions are handled on Ink and settled back to Ethereum. It uses an EVM-style environment, so apps written for Ethereum can be deployed with few changes. Its stated focus is DeFi, and part of the pitch is giving Kraken's user base an easy route into onchain apps.
Our data lists no native token for Ink, and fees are paid in the network's gas asset, generally lower than on Ethereum mainnet but variable with demand. Some 2025 coverage mentions an INK token launch connected to a lending and borrowing protocol, so check official sources for the latest. At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on Ink is about $188.8 million, and we list 28 dApps for the chain.
Ink's own ecosystem is built around trading and lending. Tydro is an Aave-powered lending market, Nado Spot is an order-book exchange with spot and perpetual futures, and Velodrome V2 and V3, InkySwap and DyorSwap supply swapping and liquidity. Larger multichain names are also present, including Morpho Blue, Uniswap V2, V3 and V4, Veda, LayerZero V2, USDT0, Across and Hyperlane. They cover lending, yield vaults and cross-chain transfers, and their TVL figures span all the chains they run on.

Ink FAQs
What is Ink?

Are fees on Ink cheap?
Ink is a Layer 2, so transactions are processed off Ethereum mainnet and results are posted back to Ethereum. Fees are normally lower than on mainnet, but they vary with network demand. Check the fee shown in your wallet before you confirm anything.
