When you go to the INK venue, ask about the $INK token TGE timing

Friends who help out will definitely"

@inkonchain
 L2 network airdrop

I just hit 3,300 points.

The expectation of launching at a $600M FDV has risen to 50% on Polymarket.

Launching at $600M FDV with 10% of the $INK supply for the airdrop, that's $2 per point.

$300M with 20% is also $2 PER POINT."

 real quick, don’t really see it as a hot play tbh

yeah it’s backed by kraken so sounds solid, but if we’re real: tvl still small, user base thin, defi not deep enough

it hasn’t proven a real reason to exist yet, other than being built by a big cex"
