The leading cryptocurrency exchange, Kraken, has seen a surge in active addresses on its Layer 2 blockchain, InkChain, since January 2025. InkChain is part of Kraken's strategic move into the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem, using Optimism's scalability solutions. This integration allows seamless deployment of EVM-compatible applications, making it easier for developers to migrate existing dApps and benefit from lower gas fees and faster transactions. InkChain's growth is driven by its support for SuperchainERC20 tokens, which improve cross-chain transactions and strengthen DeFi applications. As demand for scalable DeFi infrastructure increases, Layer 2 solutions like InkChain are becoming more popular due to Ethereum's congestion and high fees.
