Is Kraken down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Kraken right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Kraken continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are can't log in, can't connect, checkout or payment, API errors, website / app down, no response / timing out, orders or tracking and no notifications. Those are the options the report button offers for Kraken, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Kraken specifically, Kraken's matching engine, wallet infrastructure, and authentication systems can fail independently. Regional API endpoints may be unreachable while the main site appears up, or deposits may be stuck in blockchain confirmation queues while trading functions normally. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Kraken, try logging in from a different browser or device, then attempt a small test trade or check your account balance on the Kraken mobile app. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Kraken's side. Specifically: do not repeatedly submit the same order or withdrawal, as each attempt queues separately and you may execute multiple times when service returns. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Kraken publishes a machine-readable status feed, so our first check reads it directly and reports what Kraken itself says. If that feed is unreachable we fall back to a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP ping, then reports from visitors. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at status.kraken.com, and it is linked further up this page. That is Kraken's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Kraken or kraken.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Kraken's own support, not us.
