Danya (@danyapronin) reportedSome thoughts on Nado and Ink No price calls from me. The market will handle that on TGE. What I like structurally: Nado has no token of its own. Points convert into INK, the token of the chain itself. For me that changes what you're actually valuing. You're not looking at one dex token, you're looking at a network asset with a real customer behind it. The backer is @krakenfx, one of the oldest US exchanges, around $1.7b raised, $20b valuation, IPO on the table. And yes, 'strong backer ≠ strong token' - is fair in general. But pre-IPO changes the math a bit. Reputation costs more in that window, especially in the US. Not a guarantee, but it is a real incentive 👌 What matters more to me is that Ink already has real flow, not roadmap talk. Kraken DeFi Earn went live in January and that USDC goes on-chain into Ink. It's money from exchange clients, not from the farming crowd. Different money. On the Polymarket odds > look at the volume on those markets. Tens, maybe a few hundred k. That is not the kind of liquidity you build an fdv take on. Not bullish, not bearish, just noise. That's my take on @nadoHQ I farm pts there and I trade there. IYKYK 🫡

Satalink (@_satalink) reported@krakensupport Issues with Kraken Support I open an issue with the website's chatbot interface. A support agent jumps in the chat and collects info where a ticket is created. The agent says I can close the chat window and use email. Chatbot closes ticket due to no response. Mass Confusion!

jimmy (@108gua) reported@krakensupport There are many exchanges on the market, and other exchanges don't charge fees for this type of exchange. I chose you because I trust you. I contacted you immediately after the accidental contact because I believed you would help users solve the problem, instead of telling me, "This is your own problem; our fees are clearly stated." It's common knowledge that currency exchanges of the same value on any platform have almost no fees. I hope you can help me resolve this issue.

Keen (@0xkeeny) reported@krakenfx @meshpay Removing the copy-paste step is the kind of crypto UX win that never makes a benchmark but probably saves more support tickets than another 0.1% APR. The hard part now is making the routing failure state as clear as the successful deposit.

Salty Sherry (@SaltySheriKoko) reported@CaptainSteven52 @krakensupport They don’t respond to any of my holds. Terrible company. They are taking advantage of AML laws to lock funds just because (suspected scams). First it said a 5 day review. Now it’s 90 days. Just so they can use my assets.

WWJD (@JW_WWJD) reportedKraken Funded — can someone explain this? I’ve been experiencing unusually fast losses on my Funded accounts, so I started documenting the pricing. These two screenshots were taken at 6:00 PM — same token, KAITO, inside Kraken. Regular Kraken: $0.7211 Kraken Funded: $0.7008 That’s about a 2.8% difference at the exact same time. Earlier today I documented even larger discrepancies of roughly 8–9%. When a Funded Challenge has strict maximum-loss limits, these price differences can have a major impact on whether an account survives. This has happened repeatedly over several days and across two of my Funded accounts. I’ve contacted Kraken Support and asked for a formal investigation. I have timestamped screenshots documenting everything. I’d like an explanation of what price feed Kraken Funded is using and why it differs this substantially from Kraken’s own displayed market price. @krakenfx Please investigate and rectify this.

Md Sujon (@divnomiz19) reportedI’ve been using Kraken for a long time, and I always assumed it was a reliable exchange because of its reputation. But after my recent experiences, I’m honestly extremely disappointed with Kraken’s customer support. Their live chat support is frustrating. You can wait a long time just to get an agent, explain the entire issue, and then be told: “Your case has been forwarded to our email support team. They will get back to you.” If live chat can’t resolve even simple issues and everything is pushed to email support, what is the purpose of having live chat? Recently, I accidentally deposited USDT instead of USDC into my Kraken account. The deposit is visible in my account but hasn’t been credited. I contacted live support, provided all the requested information, and was told that the case had been escalated to the email team. It has now been several days with no meaningful update. What makes this even more frustrating is that Kraken’s own terms say USDT deposits and withdrawals are supported for EEA clients, even though USDT cannot be traded. I’m not asking to trade it—I simply asked Kraken to credit the deposit so I can withdraw it. Still, I’m being told to wait for an email response. And this isn’t my only bad experience. I previously deposited almost $100 worth of USDC using the BSC network by mistake, even though Kraken doesn’t support USDC deposits on BSC. I understand that mistakes are the user’s responsibility, but we are human and mistakes happen. Many major exchanges have recovery processes for unsupported-network deposits. Kraken simply told me that they couldn’t recover the funds. I understand that exchanges have security procedures and cannot recover every deposit. But completely lacking a reasonable recovery process, combined with extremely slow customer support, makes it very difficult to trust the platform with your funds. I’m genuinely disappointed with Kraken. A top-tier exchange should have a much better support and asset-recovery system. @krakenfx, I hope you seriously improve this experience for your customers. @Krak
