Gelato GEL: Blockworks Empire와 함께 라이브 스트리밍하세요

Just recorded with Andrew Koller (Ink founder) and Hilmar | ser.eth

Notes on Kraken's new L2:

- 8 months from decision to launch ink
- Ethereum as DA, also looked at Celestia and Eigen
- L3 DA could explore more modular not just Ethereum
- Could have more than one L2 in the distant future (not anytime soon)
- Thought about building in-house but used RaaS provider Gelato
- Goal to get centralized order books onchain
- Wallet is the portal
- Thought about forking OP Stack but leveraging the interop of Superchain made more sense
- Didn't share revenue split but will be public soon
- Will lean into dev tooling ahead of mainnet
- 1000+ people at Kraken are in the Ink slack channel
- Hundreds of L2s are launching in next several months
- Very obvious now that every app will have its own chain
- BlackRock, Nasdaq, Dow Jones, etc will also eventually have their own L2s
- Launched with Base support
- Vercel, Amazon, Google, etc should build (or probably buy) a RaaS provider
- Kraken would launch a token for Ink if it wasn’t for the regulators
- Board members and investors liked it, doesn't think it will hurt future IPO prospects
- Unofficial vision is to have every PRD at Kraken have an onchain component to it

Way more details in the podcast, out on Empire 🟪 soon.
