The Internet Computer (ICP) is a Layer‑1 that runs WebAssembly ‘canisters’ directly on chain, with sub‑second query calls and 2‑second update finality. Boundary nodes translate HTTP requests into signed chain queries, enabling dApps to serve web front‑ends without traditional servers. ICP’s reverse GAS model bills cycles in stable dollar terms, shielding developers from token volatility.
Ink is Kraken's Ethereum OP Stack Layer-2 built as a DeFi-focused member of the Optimism Superchain. It offers EVM compatibility, low fees and one-second blocks from launch, with sub-second blocks planned, so builders can deploy lending, DEX and yield applications close to Kraken's user base. No dedicated Ink token is mapped yet, so the blockchain is imported without an associated token.
