Kraken's New Chain: Ink Explained
Season 1 Episode 77
If you care about bringing millions of everyday users into DeFi — or you’re building on the Superchain — this breakdown is essential. Ink is Kraken’s bold move into onchain finance. Not a meme chain, not a marketing play — a purpose-built OP Stack chain designed to make DeFi feel safe, intuitive, and human. Instead of throwing newcomers into a jungle of DEXes, gas fees, and confusing pop-ups, Ink aims to become the first chain where normal people can actually understand what’s happening. At the same time, Ink positions itself as the bridge between Centralized and Decentralized Finance — a clean, well-lit highway from Kraken’s familiar world into the Superchain ecosystem. Fast blocks, low fees, shared upgrades, and real apps already live make Ink one of the most accessible new chains in onchain finance.
