# Ink

> Ink is an Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack, part of the Optimism Superchain. Positioned as "the house of DeFi for the Superchain," backed by Kraken. 1-second block times, EVM-compatible — deploy any Solidity contract without modification.

Ink provides a unified fiat-to-DeFi journey leveraging Kraken's infrastructure, with sequencer-level exploit protection, sub-second block times planned, and native Superchain interoperability.

## Key Facts

- Chain ID: 57073 (mainnet), 763373 (Ink Sepolia testnet)
- Gas Token: ETH
- Stack: OP Stack (Optimism Superchain)
- Block Time: 1 second (sub-second planned)
- RaaS Provider: Gelato
- First Superchain network with multiple challengers at launch (permissionless fault proofs)
- Minimum ETH for deployment: 0.01 ETH
