[Ink Launches Ink Echo Program to Recognize and Inspire Early Builders] Foresight News reports that Ink, an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain under Kraken based on the Optimism Superchain, has announced the launch of the Ink Echo Program. The program aims to recognize builders who made significant contributions during Ink's early development phase. The primary goals of the program include acknowledging and rewarding early builders who helped lay the foundation for Ink, as well as re-engaging strong teams as the Ink ecosystem expands. According to the official statement, the Echo Program is not a competitive initiative or ongoing funding support; it is designed for project teams that built ahead of incentives and helped shape the ecosystem. The program hopes to see projects that are functional, make substantial contributions to the ecosystem, and demonstrate commitment during the early stages. All types of projects are welcome to participate, including infrastructure, tools, consumer applications, and NFTs.
