Kraken Confirms Upcoming INK Token Airdrop Through Kraken Drops
The US-based crypto exchange Kraken has confirmed an upcoming INK token airdrop through its Kraken Drops program. The airdrop will reward users with points for their trading activity on Kraken Pro, which is currently the only confirmed way to earn INK points.
Ink Chain is a low-fee blockchain built by Kraken on the OP Stack, designed as a home for DeFi within the Optimism Superchain. Existing users of Kraken have been earning points since April 6, 2026, with the first calculated distribution landing on April 13.
The INK token is expected to launch sometime between July and September 2026, but no official date has been announced. Users can earn points by trading on Kraken Pro, using Nado's perpetual DEX, or providing liquidity for Tydro.
