The Problem
The Ink Layer 2 ecosystem lacked a native, non-custodial money market — bridging assets off-chain to access leverage, looping, or stablecoin liquidity introduced friction and counterparty risk for Kraken/Ink users.
The Solution
Tydro ports Aave v3 to Ink as a white-label deployment, offering Aave-grade lending markets for wETH, kBTC, USDG, USDT0, and GHO with INK-token rewards on supply and borrow activity, deeply integrated into the Ink ecosystem and Kraken products.
Why it Matters
Operated by the Ink Foundation (Kraken-incubated) and the only lending protocol native to Ink chain; inherits Aave v3's battle-tested codebase while curated specifically for Kraken's user base.
