Ink, the Layer 2 blockchain platform developed by Kraken based on Optimism, has officially launched on the mainnet ahead of schedule, thanks to strong support from the crypto community. The collaboration between Ink and Optimism is expected to yield groundbreaking achievements due to the current hype wave.
The collaboration between Ink and Optimism
According to the latest announcement, Kraken has accelerated the launch of Ink after noticing significant demand from millions of transactions on the testnet and the number of connected wallets. Initially, Ink was not expected to launch until 2025. However, with the mainnet now operational, the project will enter a decentralized phase 1 with a fault-proof mechanism that does not require permission in January 2025.
Andrew Koller, founder of Ink, shared:
"Today is just the beginning for Ink, and from here, we officially enter the boldest phase – the development of Ink. We are striving to push the boundaries of on-chain experiences to unlock new applications and opportunities for both developers and users. A heartfelt thank you to Ink's early supporters for the positive feedback you have provided. We are working together to build the future."
The enthusiastic support from the community and developers has greatly contributed to accelerating this progress. In the next phase, Ink will focus on decentralized elements and interoperability.
Challenges and Opportunities
Despite Kraken facing some recent setbacks, including an $8 million fine in Australia and the closure of the NFT market, the launch of Ink brings positive signals. Ink quickly attracted over 100,000 users immediately after the first announcement, and the testnet also recorded significant activity and interest.
Ryan Wyatt, Growth Director at Optimism Unlimited, said:
"The early launch of Ink's mainnet is a clear testament to the exceptional capabilities of the team, significant resource investment, and the enthusiasm from the developer community. As part of the Optimism Superchain, Ink will not only attract developers and users but also contribute to scaling Ethereum to new heights."
Although Optimism faces pressure from the market and poor token OP price performance over the past year, the launch of Ink with high performance could be a crucial driver to enhance long-term confidence in the ecosystem.
The Future of Ink and Optimism
Ink will be more deeply integrated into Optimism Superchain in the near future. According to Wyatt, Ink will participate in Optimism governance, share revenue with Collective, and support the core development of OP Stack. These commitments signal a close and effective partnership between Ink and Optimism, with great potential to drive both ecosystems towards sustainable growth.
