Privacy is paramount

Kraken Wallet collects the minimum amount of data required to perform wallet functions. Internal app performance analytics are also not collected.

User activity is proxied through Kraken’s own infrastructure, protecting your IP address and preventing the possibility of your identity and location being disclosed to external parties.

Protecting your privacy is very important to us. We do not retain Kraken Wallet user login details, email addresses or KYC information.

Backed by Kraken’s industry-leading security.

Protecting your data and digital assets is our top priority. Kraken Wallet was built in collaboration with a team that has been securing assets for the Kraken exchange for over 12 years. There are multiple layers of security that protect your private keys: biometrics on your mobile device and encryption of the password you provide.

But staying true to our overarching security mindset, we didn’t stop there.

We partnered with Trail of Bits to conduct a full security audit of our code to make sure we weren’t missing anything. Since 2012, Trail of Bits has helped protect the world’s most targeted organizations and devices by combining advanced security research with a real attacker mindset to reduce risk and harden code.

Next: All source code of Kraken Wallet is released to the world.

Kraken Wallet is the first major exchange wallet to be open sourced at launch.

Open source development increases security by allowing third parties to review every line of code we distribute. Kraken Wallet’s code is available on GitHub.

Why open source? Because transparency, decentralization, and community are at the core of cryptocurrency. That’s why we have an open source grants program. It’s meant to highlight and elevate the good work that’s important in helping cryptocurrencies reach their potential.

Our work would not be possible without the countless hours dedicated to innovative ideas by passionate open source contributors. Without these heroes, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies would not exist. Kraken will always support the open source community, and Kraken Wallet furthers this commitment.
