BEAST is a community-led meme token built on Ink, an Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack and unleashed by Kraken. The project is inspired by “Beast,” the purple creature that Kraken has publicly used as a mascot and referred to by name. $BEAST gives this established character an independent on-chain community presence through original media, memes, community campaigns and participation across the Ink ecosystem. The token has an active BEAST/WETH market on InkySwap. BEAST is independently operated and is not issued by or officially affiliated with Kraken.
