Kraken Pro has launched the Ink Season 1 Points Program, enhancing its ecosystem with a new loyalty initiative. The program, now live, is part of Kraken's broader strategy to integrate its Ink chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution, with its existing infrastructure. This initiative aims to simplify DeFi access for over 10 million users by addressing common challenges such as complex wallet setups and high gas fees. The Ink Points system rewards users for trading, staking, and referrals on Kraken Pro, with points calculated daily and settled weekly. The program features a tiered ranking system, encouraging active participation. Despite the recent postponement of Kraken's planned U.S. IPO, the company remains focused on expanding its DeFi offerings through the Ink chain.
