Ink Tier 1 Support

We’re excited to announce that Ink is now fully integrated into the Dfns Wallet-as-a-Service platform as a Tier-1 blockchain. This expands our supported network ecosystem and gives developers building on Ink full wallet functionality out of the box. 

What is the Ink blockchain?

Ink is a modular blockchain built by Kraken to power next-generation fintechs. Launched in 2024, it is part of Kraken’s broader strategy to expand beyond exchanges and custody into core blockchain infrastructure. Ink is fully EVM-compatible, making it easy for Ethereum developers to deploy existing code and tools.

Kraken, one of the world’s longest-running and most trusted crypto exchanges (founded in 2011, serving over 10 million clients across 190+ countries), brings its compliance expertise, institutional-grade security, and global footprint to Ink. This makes the network a natural choice for financial applications that demand both performance and trust. Key features include:

• Performance and modularity: Ink is designed to handle high transaction throughput and modular execution environments, supporting both DeFi and enterprise use cases.
• Compliance and security focus: With Kraken’s regulatory track record, Ink provides built-in support for regulated asset flows and enterprise-grade controls.
• Developer-friendly: Ink offers clean documentation, EVM compatibility, and integrations with service providers to help builders launch and scale faster.

Dfns unlocks Tier-1 status for Ink
