Ink launches Charter Foundation to cut token issuance costs

Kraken layer-2 Ink has launched the Charter Foundation, a new support framework aimed at lowering the cost of launching crypto tokens. The launch comes amid a slowdown in token issuance and token-linked venture investment, as rising barriers to token-related deals have pushed many digital-asset investors toward equity-focused structures instead. Crypto market maker GSR and audit firm ChainSecurity are among the Charter Foundation’s partners.
