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.
Stacks is a Bitcoin Layer‑2 secured by Proof‑of‑Transfer where miners commit BTC to mint STX and anchor blocks to Bitcoin every 10–15 minutes. Clarity smart contracts enable DeFi with Bitcoin finality, and the sBTC proposal aims to bring a two‑way peg for native BTC on chain. The Nakamoto upgrade scheduled for 2025 will reduce block times to five seconds and add probabilistic Bitcoin finality.
