What is Ink?

Ink is an EVM-compatible Ethereum Layer 2 developed by Kraken, focused on fast, low-cost transactions with seamless Ethereum interoperability. It supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods for building dapps and provides OP-Node–compatible endpoints to access rollup state, configuration, and synchronization data.

Interacting With Ink APIs

Ink exposes Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC and rollup-specific methods that allow developers to interact with the network programmatically. You can query blocks and transactions, deploy and interact with smart contracts, and access rollup status and configuration.

You can connect by running your own node or by using a hosted provider such as QuickNode, which offers reliable, low-latency access without the need to manage infrastructure.
