Ink vs Provenance

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.

Provenance Blockchain is a Cosmos SDK proof-of-stake network built for financial services and tokenized real-world assets. It brings issuance, servicing, settlement and exchange workflows on-chain so institutions can replace intermediary-heavy processes with verifiable records and protocol-level controls. HASH is used for fees and governance across the network.
