The new Kraken Wallet: self-custody, now with DeFi Earn
TL;DR
Kraken Wallet has received its biggest-ever upgrade, bringing native access to DeFi Earn vaults directly into your self-custody wallet.
Choose your custody model: local seed-phrase wallet, embedded wallet (email, Apple, or Google sign-in), or both. All options are fully self-custodial.
Every transaction goes through simulation, malicious-interaction blocking, and dApp origin verification before you sign.
Multi-chain portfolio view, best-route swaps across seven integrated providers, and direct Kraken Exchange integration, all in one app.
Self-custody puts you in control. Now Kraken Wallet makes it easier to put your assets to work, with curated DeFi vaults and protocols available directly in your wallet. From vaults featured on Kraken Exchange to more ways to put your assets to work across DeFi, Kraken Wallet brings the swap and deposit together in one flow.
