币界网报道：The Ink blockchain, a Kraken-incubated Layer 2 on Optimism's Superchain, has experienced heightened activity ahead of its INK token launch, with daily transactions exceeding 500,000 and active contracts nearly doubling since May to 6,000 by June 18. The Ink Foundation revealed a fixed supply of 1 billion INK tokens, distributed via an Aave-based liquidity pool airdrop, though the token will not govern the Layer-2 network. Despite its EVM compatibility enabling low-cost Ethereum app deployment, Ink's TVL remains under $8 million, signaling growth potential. The blockchain, part of Optimism's Superchain alongside Base and others, launched its mainnet in December 2024—earlier than its Q1 2025 target—and facilitates cross-L2 asset transfers. The INK token aims to boost liquidity and app usage, positioning Ink to compete with Coinbase's Base.
