kraken
Interact with the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange — spot + futures, REST + WebSocket. Use when: (1) checking crypto prices or market data, (2) viewing account balances, positions, or trade history, (3) placing or cancelling orders (spot or futures), (4) streaming live market data via WebSocket, (5) building DCA strategies, price alerts, or portfolio monitoring, (6) any mention of Kraken, crypto trading, or portfolio management. Requires the tentactl binary. Kraken API keys needed only for authenticated endpoints.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/askbeka/tentactlWhat This Skill Does
The Kraken skill for OpenClaw integrates the powerful tentactl binary to provide comprehensive access to the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange. This skill acts as a bridge to both the Kraken REST API and WebSocket streams, allowing users to interact with spot markets and futures trading directly from their agent. It provides 114 specialized tools covering market data, account management, order execution, and real-time streaming, making it a robust solution for crypto enthusiasts, traders, and automated portfolio managers.
Installation
To enable this skill, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/askbeka/tentactl. Ensure you have the Rust toolchain installed, as the skill depends on the tentactl binary. After installation, you can optionally configure API keys by creating a .tentactl.env file in your home directory containing your KRAKEN_API_KEY and KRAKEN_API_SECRET. For enhanced security, use chmod 600 on this file to restrict access to your credentials.
Use Cases
- Market Research: Quickly fetch historical data, current tickers, and order book depths for any supported crypto pair.
- Portfolio Monitoring: Keep track of your spot balances and futures positions in real-time.
- Algorithmic Trading: Build and execute custom DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) strategies or automated trading bots.
- Live Streaming: Utilize WebSocket tools to monitor price movements or order executions as they happen.
- Order Management: Perform complex order operations, including limit, market, and futures trades, with built-in validation support.
Example Prompts
- "What is the current spread for XBT/USD, and can you show me the top 5 bids and asks?"
- "Please check my current Kraken account balance for all assets and summarize my open positions."
- "Validate a limit buy order for 0.01 ETH at $2,500 on the Kraken spot exchange and ask me for confirmation."
Tips & Limitations
Always prioritize security when dealing with financial APIs. The Kraken skill supports a validate: true flag for all order placements—use this every time to verify parameters before committing real capital. Never run automated trading strategies without thorough backtesting. Keep in mind that while market data tools are free and require no authentication, trading and balance inquiry tools necessitate valid API keys with the correct permissions configured via the Kraken security dashboard.
