Why Ink

Ink is Kraken's L2 on the OP Stack, part of the Optimism Superchain, live since December 2024. Gas is ordinary ETH, blocks are one second, and the median transaction we measured on it cost about four hundredths of a cent. For a 2,000-piece mint that matters: nobody should pay more in gas than the piece is worth.

It also has a door most chains do not. Kraken withdraws ETH straight to Ink at no fee, so a buyer with an exchange account does not have to learn bridging first. And OpenSea supports Ink, so the pieces are tradeable the day the contract lands.

From Kraken

Withdraw ETH from a Kraken account and pick the Ink network. Kraken charges no fee for it, and it lands in a minute or two. This is the shortest route and the one to point a first-time buyer at.

Official bridge

Bridge ETH from Ethereum at inkonchain.com/bridge. It is the canonical Superchain bridge; a withdrawal back out carries the usual seven-day challenge period, a deposit in does not.

Third-party bridges

Superbridge and Across both support Ink and are faster out than the canonical route, for a fee. Use them if you plan to move funds back off quickly.

What it costs

0.0002 ETH a piece. Five, the wallet maximum, comes to 0.001 ETH plus gas, and Ink settles a transaction for about four hundredths of a cent.

What you get

An ERC-721 token on Ink pointing at a 1024px PNG, with thirteen traits and a rarity rank out of 2,000 on it. No blind box: every piece on this site is the final art, visible before anyone commits money to it, and it trades on OpenSea, which supports Ink.

Where the date lands

The price, the per-wallet cap and the date are announced in one place, on X. The art and the metadata are already finished, so nothing about the pieces changes between now and then.
