Looking for an Ink sniper and copy trading bot? Axiom reads every launchpad on
Kraken's chain into one Pulse feed, prices a token across Velodrome, Uniswap and Tsunami's own
pools at once, and confirms the buy on the next one-second block. Launch or vamp a token on
Tsunami without leaving the feed. Use

Ink, Kraken's Chain, From the Trading Side
Ink is the layer two Kraken built on the OP Stack. It has been on mainnet since December
2024, produces a block every second, charges well under a cent in ETH for gas, and Kraken itself runs
the sequencer. It was the second chain in the Superchain to reach Stage 1, which in practice means
the fault proofs are permissionless and more than one party is watching them.
For most of its life it was a DeFi chain rather than a memecoin chain: Nado for perps, Tydro for
lending, kBTC and USDG as the house assets, and Velodrome carrying the bulk of the swaps. The
launchpads arrived later and they are still few. That is the interesting part. On Solana or HOOD
you filter a flood; on Ink you are watching a handful of curves and can actually read them.
Axiom switched Ink on with the full terminal rather than a cut-down one: the wallet tracker,
Callouts, presets and the Tsunami launch button all from the first day, which is not how most
chains get added.
Axiom Ink Trading Bot
Ink Launchpads Axiom Reads
Axiom's protocol filter on Ink has eleven entries, in this order: Tsunami, InkyPump V2,
Sentry, xSplash, DYOR.fun, Calamari, InkySwap, DYOR, SquidSwap, then Velodrome and Uniswap as
venues. Each one can be switched off. This is what the pads actually do, because on Ink the
difference between two curves is larger than it looks.
Tsunami
The pad Axiom built the Ink launch around. One transaction mints a billion tokens, opens a
constant-product curve holding 793.1 million of them, and reserves the pool the token will
migrate into, so nobody can squat the pool key and block graduation. The launch sets a target
raise in ETH or an approved ERC-20; the buy that empties the curve migrates it in the same
call, dropping the withheld 206.9 million and the whole raise into a Calamari pool at the
curve's closing price. Fees are 1% on the curve and 1% in the pool, both capped at 5% on
chain. A creator can take an opening buy so nobody trades ahead of them, and Axiom lets you
launch, or vamp an existing token onto a fresh curve, straight from the Pulse row.
InkyPump V2
The older pad on the chain, from the InkySwap team. A linear bonding curve with a 2% fee taken
from the ETH side of every trade; when the curve hits its ETH target the contract creates a
Uniswap V4 pool, seeds it with the raise and the reserved supply, and routes trades there in
one transaction. The LP is burned at bonding, which is the anti-rug.
Sentry
A multi-chain curve pad that also runs on Robinhood Chain. Small, but on Ink it is the one
launchpad DefiLlama shows earning real fees week after week.
xSplash
A newer entry with little written about it yet. It is in the filter because Axiom indexes it
from the first block, and that is the whole point: the source is there before the runner is.
DYOR.fun and DYOR
Two generations of the same pad. V3 launches straight into a permanently locked Uniswap V3
pool with a 1% fee, no curve, and calls the token graduated once the pool's all-time-high
balance reaches its target, with no keeper needed. The older DYOR entry covers tokens from
the previous version, and DYORSwap is where they trade.
Calamari
Not a pad but where Tsunami tokens go: a single Uniswap v4 PoolManager on Ink with every
launch's pool attached to Tsunami's fee hook. Pools open at a 0% LP fee and the hook takes
its cut per swap. It is listed separately so you can watch migrated tokens on their own.
InkySwap and SquidSwap
InkySwap is the venue InkyPump's earlier tokens list on automatically, at a 0.05% fee; BERT,
BEAST and ANITA do a few hundred thousand dollars a day there each. SquidSwap is the other
native AMM. Both are in the filter as sources, so a token that skipped a curve still lands in
Pulse.
Where Ink Liquidity Sits
Ink does a little over twenty million dollars of DEX volume in a week, and about two
thirds of it goes through one venue. That makes routing simpler than on Base, and it makes the
thin end thinner. Axiom reads them together so the chart is the price and not one pool's view.
Velodrome V3
Slipstream concentrated liquidity, and the centre of the chain. The USDC, USD₮0, USDG, GHO
and kBTC pairs against each other and against ETH all live here, and so does most of the
volume in majors.
Uniswap V3
Deployed on Ink by Reservoir. Second by volume, home of the deepest USD₮0/WETH pool outside
Velodrome, and where the wrapped xStocks pairs sit, wNVDAx against USDG among them. Most of
the newest pools on the chain are created here.
Uniswap V4
Where InkyPump V2 tokens bond to. Smaller than V3 by volume, but it is the pool a fresh
curve graduates into, so it is where the second wave buys.
Calamari
Tsunami's Uniswap v4. Every graduated Tsunami token trades here and nowhere else, at the
price the curve closed at.
InkySwap, SquidSwap, DYORSwap
The native AMMs. Thin in majors, but each carries pairs the big venues do not, and on Ink
that is often the only place a small token trades.
Nado, Velodrome V2, Curve
Nado is the perps venue, with a spot book on the side that does real volume in majors and
xStocks. Velodrome V2 and Curve exist and are close to idle.
Quote Assets on Ink
Ink is unusual in how many things a token can be priced in. Tsunami lets a launch pick
its quote asset, Velodrome's deepest pools are stable-to-stable, and Kraken's own assets sit on
the chain: USDG, kBTC, and wrapped xStocks such as wNVDAx that trade against USDG on Reservoir's
Uniswap V3.
Axiom's quote filter on Ink is built for that. WETH, ETH, USD₮0, USDC, USDC.e and kBTC each get
a switch, and there is a STOCK bucket for pairs quoted in a tokenised share. A coin against wNVDAx
charts in wNVDAx with the dollar figure beside it, which is the only way to tell whether the meme
moved or Nvidia did.
One thing worth carrying around: the xStocks are issued by Backed, not by Kraken, and carry their
own eligibility rules. The pool does not check them. You should.
Ink Trading Bot
A block a second, Kraken sequencing it, and gas that rounds to zero. There is no
Flashblocks-style preconfirmation on Ink and no priority auction worth winning; a buy goes out,
the next block includes it, and Axiom shows the confirmation about a second later. Simple, and
after Solana and Base it feels almost calm.
What that changes is where the edge lives. It is not in the fee you attach. It is in seeing the
token first, which on a chain with this few pads means the protocol filter and the New Pairs
column are doing most of the work, and in being able to act on a Tsunami curve, buy, launch or
vamp, without leaving the row.
Everything else is the terminal you already run elsewhere. Presets, the wallet tracker, limit
orders and the contract checks come across unchanged; the chain selector says INK.
Ink Sniper Bot
Pulse on Ink has the same three columns, but the middle one means something specific
here. A Tsunami curve shows its progress in basis points, and the buy that takes it to 10,000
migrates it in the same transaction. Final Stretch on Ink is a curve in its last few percent,
and the pool it opens into already exists, reserved at launch, waiting to be seeded.
So the snipe is the migration buy. Set the size, the slippage and the checks a contract has to
pass, and let the preset fire when the curve crosses your line. Because the pool opens at the
curve's closing price, there is no gap between the last curve buy and the first pool buy to be
sandwiched in, which is not something you can say on most chains.
InkyPump curves bond the same way into Uniswap V4, and DYOR.fun tokens have no curve at all, so
the same preset means three different things depending on the pad. Pulse prints the pad beside
the ticker. The memecoin sniper page goes through which Pulse
filters are worth setting.
Ink Copy Trading
Copying a wallet on Ink works the way it does everywhere in Axiom: add the address,
cap the size, and its entries are repeated in your account up to that cap.
The tracker and Callouts were live on Ink from the first day, which matters more on a young chain
than an old one. There are not many wallets trading Ink memecoins yet, so the ones that are good
stand out quickly, and the ones that arrived to farm the INK airdrop stand out too, in the other
direction. Watch a wallet through a week of Tsunami launches before you mirror it.
Tsunami, InkyPump, Sentry, DYOR.fun and the rest in Pulse from block one.
Launch or vamp from Pulse
Start a Tsunami token, or clone a running one, from the row.
Velodrome, Uniswap and Calamari, pooled
One chart across every venue a token trades in.
Quote asset switches
ETH, USD₮0, USDC, kBTC and STOCK, so the chart is in the asset you are actually buying with.
Tracker, Callouts and rewards, day one
The full terminal, not a cut-down one, and cashback on every trade from the first.
Getting Onto Ink in Axiom
Pick INK in the chain selector
It is in the dropdown at the top of the screen with SOL, HOOD, BNB, BASE and ETH. Pick it and
everything repoints; nothing on the screen moves.
Get ETH onto Ink
Bridge from Ethereum or another Superchain network, withdraw from Kraken directly, or convert
inside Axiom. Gas is a fraction of a cent, so a small balance lasts a long time.
Set presets and the protocol filter
Size, slippage and contract checks, then switch off the pads you do not want in the feed.
On Ink that filter is most of your edge.
Track, then arm
Add the wallets worth following, keep Callouts beside the chart, and arm the migration buy on
the curves you like.
Where Ink Bites
Depth is the first thing. Twenty million a week across the whole chain is a rounding error next
to Solana, and outside Velodrome's stable pairs almost every pool is thin enough to move on your
own order. A number on the pooled chart is not the number you will fill at. Check the leg you are
routing through.
The airdrop is the second. An INK token has been promised and everyone on the chain is farming
it, which means a lot of the volume, the wallets and the enthusiasm are there for points rather
than for the tokens. Read wallet activity with that in mind.
And a young pad is a young pad. Tsunami's creator-fee split has not executed on mainnet yet, the
platform fee can be raised to 5% without a redeployment, and xSplash has almost no track record.
None of that is a reason not to trade here. It is a reason to size like it is September 2026 on a
chain whose memecoin scene is a few weeks old.
Axiom Ink — FAQ
Does Axiom support Ink?
Yes. INK sits in the chain selector with SOL, HOOD, BNB, BASE and ETH, and the terminal keeps the same layout, presets and tracked wallets when you switch to it.
Which Ink launchpads show up in Pulse?
Axiom's Ink filter has eleven entries: Tsunami, InkyPump V2, Sentry, xSplash, DYOR.fun, Calamari, InkySwap, DYOR, SquidSwap, and Velodrome and Uniswap as venues. Tokens appear from the first block.
What does launching or vamping on Tsunami from Pulse mean?
Tsunami's launch is one transaction: the token, its bonding curve and its future pool are created together. Axiom exposes that from the Pulse row, so you can start a fresh token, or vamp one, meaning clone a token that is already running, without leaving the feed.
How fast are fills on Ink?
Ink produces a block every second and Kraken runs the sequencer, so a buy is confirmed on the next block, roughly a second after it is sent. Gas is paid in ETH and usually costs less than a cent.
Which exchanges does the Ink chart read?
Velodrome V3 and V2, Uniswap V3 and V4, Calamari, which is Tsunami's own Uniswap v4 deployment, InkySwap, SquidSwap and Nado's spot book, read together as one price.
Can I use a stablecoin or a stock token as the quote asset on Ink?
Yes. Axiom's quote filter on Ink lists WETH, ETH, USD₮0, USDC and USDC.e, kBTC and a STOCK bucket, so a pair quoted in a wrapped xStock charts in that stock instead of being flattened into ETH.
