Kraken in Burokku: your Kraken account next to everything else
Connect Kraken with a key that can only query funds and your ledger to see spot and earn balances beside your wallets, or a trading key that can never withdraw.
Updated Nov 19, 2026
In short
Burokku reads Kraken through an API key that can only query: your funds, and your ledger for history. Your spot and earn balances count in your net worth with your wallets, DeFi and other exchanges, and Burokku turns away any key that can trade or withdraw. If you'd like to trade on Kraken from Burokku, make a key that can create orders but never withdraw, locked to Burokku's fixed IP address.
What Burokku reads
- Your spot and earn balances, added up with everything else without counting the same coin twice.
- Your ledger, for history, profit and loss and your tax report.
Connect it
Choose Add account, then Kraken, and follow the steps Burokku shows. In Kraken's account settings, create an API key with Query under Funds permissions and Query ledger entries under Data. Leave Create & modify orders and Withdraw off, and add Burokku's IP address. Paste the API key and the Private key. Burokku checks the key can only read before it's stored, sealed in a space that belongs to your account alone.
Trading on Kraken
Choose Read and trade when you connect, turn on Create & modify orders but never Withdraw, and lock the key to Burokku's IP address. Your Burokku account needs two-step verification. Every order goes out priced and checked against your limits, and orders over $1,000 ask for your passkey.
What you can do with it
- One total, with your wallets, DeFi and other exchanges, in any of 150 currencies.
- Alerts on prices and your whole portfolio, on Telegram, push or email.
- Recurring buys on Kraken within the key's limits, once automations are on.
Questions
- Which permissions does a read-only Kraken key need?
- Query under Funds permissions, for your balances, and Query ledger entries under Data, for your history. Leave Create & modify orders and Withdraw off.
- Can I trade on Kraken from Burokku everywhere?
- Trading isn't offered in the EU, the UK or Singapore yet. Reading your account works wherever Kraken does.
