Ink vs Vaulta

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.

Vaulta is a Layer-1 chain built as the operating system for Web3 banking. It combines a high-performance, deterministic-finality blockchain with modules for wealth management, consumer payments, portfolio investment, and crypto-native insurance. Fully EVM-compatible, Vaulta supports Bitcoin integration via ExSat, cross-chain transfers through IBC, and a staking-backed stable financial infrastructure for institutions and individuals.
