However, NFT support does not extend to Bitcoin-based NFTs, such as Ordinals, or BRC-20 tokens.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"limitations\">Limitations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kraken Wallet does not support every blockchain or token. If you send assets from an unsupported network, they will not appear in your wallet and may be lost unless you recover them using another compatible wallet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wallet does not currently support direct purchases of crypto through third-party providers, nor does it offer built-in cross-chain swaps for all asset pairs. It also does not support some advanced assets, such as Bitcoin\u2019s Ordinals, BRC-20s, or Runes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"how_does_the_kraken_wallet_work\">How Does the Kraken Wallet Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kraken Wallet functions as a self-custody mobile crypto wallet, allowing you to manage your digital assets directly without relying on a third party. The app operates on both iOS and Android and supports a range of major blockchains and token standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"asset_management_and_transactions\">Asset Management and Transactions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have a wallet set up, Kraken Wallet generates unique addresses for each supported blockchain. You can store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies and NFTs across these networks. To receive assets, you select the relevant network and asset, then share your wallet address or QR code.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10602\" src=\"https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-04-29-at-16.44.08_861c461c.jpg\" alt=\"send recieve kraken\" width=\"254\" height=\"550\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When sending, you input the recipient\u2019s address, specify the amount, review network fees, and confirm the transaction. The wallet ensures you interact with the correct blockchain for each asset, reducing the risk of sending funds to incompatible networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"swapping_and_defi_interaction\">Swapping and DeFi Interaction<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kraken Wallet aggregates liquidity from decentralized exchanges and bridges, enabling you to swap assets within or across supported blockchains. You can review different swap routes, compare rates, and set slippage preferences before confirming a trade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10603\" src=\"https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG-20250428-WA0014.jpg\" alt=\"kraken swap\" width=\"248\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG-20250428-WA0014.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG-20250428-WA0014-135x300.jpg 135w, https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG-20250428-WA0014-461x1024.jpg 461w, https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG-20250428-WA0014-768x1707.jpg 768w, https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG-20250428-WA0014-691x1536.jpg 691w, https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG-20250428-WA0014-922x2048.jpg 922w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wallet also integrates with WalletConnect, allowing you to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) directly from your mobile device.

The real costs come from blockchain network fees and, if you use certain features, third-party service fees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Sending Crypto<\/strong>: Every time you send Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any supported crypto, you pay a network fee. For example, sending Bitcoin might cost you <strong>between $1 and $10<\/strong>, depending on network congestion. Ethereum fees can swing from under $1 to over $20 during peak periods. On Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum or Optimism, fees are much lower, often just a few cents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Swaps<\/strong>: Kraken Wallet\u2019s built-in Swaps feature does not add extra fees. You only pay the network gas fee and, for cross-chain swaps, a bridge fee. For instance, swapping $100 worth of ETH to USDC on Ethereum could cost $3\u2013$8 in gas during busy times, while the same swap on Polygon might be under $0.10. Bridge fees for cross-chain swaps can range from $1 to $5 but are always shown before you confirm the transaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>NFT Transfers<\/strong>: You pay the standard network fee if you transfer an NFT. For example, sending an NFT on Ethereum usually costs around 0.01 ETH (about $30 if ETH is $3,000); on Solana, it\u2019s about 0.02 SOL (roughly $2 if SOL is $100).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Deposits<\/strong>: Depositing crypto into Kraken Wallet is free, aside from the network fee required by the blockchain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Withdrawals to Kraken Exchange<\/strong>: If you move funds to the Kraken exchange, expect withdrawal fees that vary by asset. Withdrawing Bitcoin from Kraken, for example, typically costs 0.0002 BTC (about $12 if BTC is $60,000).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"trading_fees_if_you_use_kraken_exchange\">Trading Fees (If You Use Kraken Exchange)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10883\" src=\"https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2339.jpg\" alt=\"trade fees\" width=\"1500\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2339.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2339-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2339-1024x406.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2339-768x304.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use Kraken\u2019s exchange, trading fees are based on your 30-day trading volume and whether you\u2019re a maker or taker:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Spot trading<\/strong>: Maker fees start at 0.25% and can drop to 0% for high-volume traders.

You\u2019ll need to complete a questionnaire and provide identification documents. Without KYC, you cannot use Kraken\u2019s centralized services, and your access will be restricted until you comply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Kraken Wallet does not require creating a Kraken exchange account or providing personal information to set up the wallet.

Download and Install the App<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">To begin, download the official Kraken Wallet app from the App Store or Google Play Store. Make sure you are installing the legitimate app to ensure the security of your assets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[525] first:mt-0\"><strong>2. Create a New Wallet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Open the app and tap on \u201cCreate Wallet.\u201d The app will automatically generate a new wallet for you. At this stage, you\u2019ll be prompted to back up your wallet by revealing your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP). Write down this phrase exactly as shown, including the correct order and spelling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Store it securely-ideally on paper in a safe place or using a dedicated metal backup solution. Avoid saving your SRP digitally or sharing it with anyone, as this phrase is the only way to recover your wallet if you lose access to your device.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[525] first:mt-0\"><strong>3. Verify Your Recovery Phrase<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">After saving your SRP, the app will ask you to verify it by tapping the words in the correct order. Make sure you\u2019ve accurately recorded your recovery phrase. Once verified, you can proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[525] first:mt-0\"><strong>4.

Complete Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Agree to the terms and continue. Your Kraken Wallet is now ready to use. Remember, your Secret Recovery Phrase is the master key to your assets.

Best gives you access to a wider variety of assets and ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cross-Chain Swaps:<\/strong> Best Wallet offers built-in cross-chain swaps for exchanging assets between different blockchains (for example, BTC to ETH) within the app. Kraken Wallet does not support cross-chain swaps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DEX Aggregation:<\/strong>\u00a0With a built-in DEX aggregator, Best Wallet finds the best rates for swaps across multiple decentralized exchanges. Kraken Wallet lacks this feature and offers only basic swapping through connected dApps.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10854\" src=\"https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-09-185222.png\" alt=\"Best swaps\" width=\"1416\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-09-185222.png 1416w, https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-09-185222-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-09-185222-1024x516.png 1024w, https:\/\/icobench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-09-185222-768x387.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1416px) 100vw, 1416px\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Multi-Chain NFT Gallery:<\/strong>\u00a0Best Wallet enables you to manage NFTs across numerous blockchains in a single gallery, while Kraken Wallet\u2019s NFT support is limited to fewer networks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Third-Party Funding:<\/strong>\u00a0You can instantly fund Best Wallet by comparing rates from various third-party providers, without needing to connect to a crypto exchange. Kraken Wallet does not offer this option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advanced Security:<\/strong>\u00a0Best Wallet uses MPC (multi-party computation) technology to split your private key into encrypted shards for added protection.

Limited blockchain support, no cross-chain swaps, lack of 2FA, and mandatory KYC for the Kraken exchange are some of its major drawbacks. When compared, Best Wallet covers all these flaws and gives you more freedom. It also has more active customer service, which Kraken users currently complain a lot about.
