Overview
Kraken announced plans to include INK in Kraken Drops for eligible active clients and ecosystem participants. The announcement identifies an Ink Foundation subsidiary as the intended token issuer.
That announcement does not establish a guaranteed allocation for every user. This profile explains the documented participation routes and distinguishes them from speculative farming suggestions.

How to review your participation options
This is a public-source navigation guide. Bitnxt has not logged into a Kraken account, connected a wallet or tested eligibility or claiming.

Read the official announcement.
Distinguish the announced distribution from current account benefits.

Check Kraken availability and verification requirements.
For the Kraken Drops route, use an eligible, verified Kraken account. Individual campaigns can impose additional requirements. Verification alone does not guarantee an INK reward.

Open Kraken Pro.
Inspect the points information available in your account. Follow the current interface rather than outdated screenshots.

Review the conditions before taking action.
Check product eligibility, fees and any live promotion rules. Do not buy, stake or trade solely because an unofficial checklist promises tokens.
- 5
Inspect recorded progress.
Use the account’s points information to review activity and current benefits. If something appears incorrect, contact Kraken through official support.
- 6
Explore Ink applications only if you want to use them.
Follow the official application links and review each protocol’s current documentation and eligibility before connecting a wallet.

Check transfer details carefully.
If moving funds on-chain, confirm the destination network, supported asset, recipient, fees and withdrawal conditions. A bridge transaction is not proof of airdrop qualification.

Monitor official distribution instructions.
Before using any future claim or allocation checker, confirm its destination through an official announcement.
What is Ink?
Ink is an Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem associated with Kraken. Its official website provides a bridge and links to applications including Nado and Tydro.
Nado offers trading functionality. Tydro is a non-custodial liquidity protocol powered by Aave. These applications have their own conditions and risks.
Being listed in the ecosystem does not automatically make every interaction an official airdrop task.
How Kraken Pro Ink Points work
Kraken's support guide lists trading, asset holdings, staking and platform engagement as point-generating categories. API activity is excluded.
Points are updated on Mondays for the preceding week. Seasons last four weeks: seasonal points reset, while lifetime points remain.
Levels are assessed using seasonal activity. VIP access is invitation-based rather than guaranteed by points alone.
Check the Boosts tab for current offers and expiry dates. Do not reuse expired multipliers or treat a temporary promotion as a permanent rule.
Ink Points are not INK tokens. Use our crypto glossary to understand reward and blockchain terminology. Compare the separate rules in our TxFlow Season 1 points guide.
Nado, Tydro and other ecosystem activity
Use the official ecosystem directory to locate applications. Officially linked application destinations include:
- Nado: app.nado.xyz
- Tydro: app.tydro.com
Nado points, lending deposits or other application activity have no verified fixed conversion into INK.
This review has not established the current INK allocation rules for individual protocol users. Any protocol-specific rewards need their own official terms.
Domains, NFTs, GM transactions, contract deployments and community roles are not established as mandatory qualification steps.
Who is eligible?
Kraken Drops requires verified clients and may apply campaign-specific conditions, such as subscription, trading or holding requirements. Geographic restrictions apply.
These general rules do not establish the final INK criteria. Check the specific distribution announcement when available.
Buying Kraken+ does not guarantee INK. Access to an on-chain application is not proof of eligibility for a Kraken account-based distribution.
Dates and outdated expectations
A third-party July–September 2026 estimate has already passed and is not an upcoming launch window.
Bitnxt has not verified a current claim date, snapshot or token-generation date in the sources reviewed.
How much could you receive?
No verified individual allocation or conversion formula is available for this profile.
A points balance is not a token balance and should not be assigned a dollar value. Rewards cannot be extrapolated from trading volume, wallet age or transaction count.
Costs and risks
Account activity can involve trading fees and market risk. On-chain participation can involve transfer fees, smart-contract risk and losses.
Borrowing and leveraged trading can cause liquidation. Avoid borrowing, increasing leverage or generating repetitive transactions for uncertain rewards.
Bitnxt does not collect deposits, process claims or determine allocations.
