Ink
Ink is Kraken's upcoming L2, built on the Ethereum stack to offer fast, low-cost trading with a strong focus on DeFi. With Uniswap v4 hooks, Ink could enable permissioned pools, compliance-aware swaps, or centralized liquidity provisioning bridging centralized trust with on-chain flexibility.
Hook Idea
Description
Permissioned pools
- Using Kraken Verify, create permissioned pools using beforeSwap to query address verification(s). Large value prop for RWAs, institutions, etc.
No idle funds
- Using beforeSwap and afterSwap, allow users to use funds held in yield strategies for swaps, improving individual capital efficiency.
Degen pools
- Specifically for early stage tokens, implement modular hook logic which adjusts pool behavior.
Derivatives
- Synthetic options contracts for proactive risk management without the traditional liquidity concerns.
Gamified pools
- Randomized lottery of swap fees accrued over X period / boosted LP rewards / fund the devs.
CEX/DEX merge
- Merging the books of CEX and DEX for: - arbitrage - liquidity aggregation - minimal slippage.
