Ethereum vs Ink
Ethereum leads on 1 of 3 shared benchmarks, Ink on 2. Ethereum wins on Fastest Chainlink CCIP source chain by end-to-end delivery latency (16.9 min vs 24.6 min). Ink wins on Fastest Wormhole VAA finalization by source chain, live latency (7.50 s vs 14.3 min), Fastest LayerZero source chain by end-to-end message delivery (56.25 s vs 3.8 min). Data as of 2026-10-24 UTC.
Ethereum
PoS chain using Gasper (Casper FFG plus LMD-GHOST). 12-second slots with deterministic finality every two epochs, roughly 12.8 minutes.

Stablecoin flow by chain: where dollars actually moved over 30 days

Stablecoin float is where dollars are parked, not what they do. A chain can take in a billion that sits idle, and lose float to a single issuer redeeming. The figure is DefiLlama's chain-wide pegged-USD aggregate, every issuer combined; it does not separate a bridge inflow from a native mint, and a dollar bridged to an L2 counts on both chains, so rows are not additive. Read the net dollars with the percentage beside them: the same $400M is a rounding error on Ethereum and a doubling elsewhere.

How this pair was selected
Auto-generated pairs require: both providers in the same benchmark for seven consecutive days, at least 1000 samples per provider, observable third-party search demand, and a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. Editorially curated pairs (like this one) may publish early when search demand is high and data is accruing; panels with fewer than 100 samples are shown as provisional. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo.
