Ink Foundation officially launched Tydro, a white-label lending protocol built on Aave v3 and powered by INK tokens, marking a major DeFi addition to its Ethereum Layer-2 network. The platform supports assets such as wETH, kBTC, USDG, USDT0, and GHO, and enables users to earn points toward future airdrops. Kraken, a backer of Ink, plans to integrate Tydro into its centralized exchange to bridge on-chain and off-chain liquidity. Ink’s total value locked has surpassed $140 million, highlighting rapid ecosystem growth.
