According to The Block, Kraken's Ethereum second layer network Ink has reached a multi-year partnership with Optimism to upgrade to OP Enterprise Fully Managed. Optimism will be responsible for running the Ink mainnet production infrastructure, while the Ink Foundation focuses on ecology and new financial products. Ink went live on the mainnet in December 2024, processing over 1 million transactions on its first day and generating nearly $40 million in annual revenue from on chain applications. As an OP Enterprise design partner, Ink is involved in the design of programmable block construction, withdrawal to Ethereum within one day, and sorter compliance module. The goal is to achieve a throughput of 400 megas per second and a minimum block time of 100 milliseconds by the end of 2026.
