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.
Solana combines Proof‑of‑History, Turbine block propagation and Gulf Stream forwarding to achieve throughput exceeding 50 000 TPS with 400 ms block times. The 2024 Firedancer client written in C++ reduced validator CPU requirements and added parallel pipeline execution. Solana Pay and the Saga phone SDK illustrate the project’s push toward consumer‑grade web3 applications.
