AI Trading on Kraken
AI trading bots for Kraken: options and the custody question.
Kraken's APIs support automated trading and the usual ecosystem targets them: third-party bot platforms and DIY agent stacks. BullSpot doesn't trade on Kraken — it runs on Hyperliquid — so treat this as a neutral guide with one clearly-labeled alternative at the end.
Automating on Kraken
Third-party platforms offer strategy automation against Kraken's API in exchange for holding your keys; DIY frameworks (OpenClaw, Hermes Agent) let you wire an LLM to it yourself. Futures access is jurisdiction-dependent. The evaluation questions never change: who holds the keys, what can they do, and can you audit every trade?
What BullSpot does instead
BullSpot executes exclusively on Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual futures exchange. It does not place orders on centralized exchanges. On Hyperliquid the agent trades perps through a no-withdrawal API wallet in your own account, with daily planning, hard risk limits you set, and complete decision logs. $29/mo, cancel anytime.
FAQ
Does BullSpot support Kraken?
No. BullSpot executes only on Hyperliquid, non-custodially, and we say so on every page rather than implying broader exchange support.
What should I check before connecting a bot to Kraken?
Key permissions (never enable withdrawals), where the keys are stored, whether the strategy's decisions are auditable, and what bounds your worst day. If a vendor can't answer those, walk.
What are the risks?
Substantial. Perpetual futures are leveraged instruments and you can lose your entire balance. Autonomous execution means trades can be placed without your prior review. Read the risk disclosure before connecting a funded account.
