Crypto exchange Kraken has rolled out its self-custody wallet for digital assets, following the likes of Binance, OKX, Coinbase, Bitget, and Bybit.
继 Binance、OKX、Coinbase、Bitget 和 Bybit 等公司之后,加密货币交易所 Kraken 推出了数字资产自助托管钱包。
"Whether you’re a Kraken client or not, you can use multichain Kraken Wallet as your bridge to the decentralized financial system," exchange staff wrote. Currently, Kraken Wallet supports assets on eight blockchains, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), Optimism, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon and Dogecoin (DOGE).
“无论您是否是 Kraken 客户,您都可以使用多链 Kraken 钱包作为通往去中心化金融系统的桥梁,”交易所工作人员写道。目前,Kraken 钱包支持八个区块链上的资产,包括比特币(BTC)、以太币(ETH)、Solana(SOL)、Optimism、Base、Arbitrum、Polygon 和狗狗币(DOGE)。
Wallet developers claim that the app "collects the absolute minimum amount of data required to function as a wallet," and "not even internal app performance analytics are collected." The company also stated:
钱包开发人员声称,该应用程序“收集了钱包功能所需的绝对最小量的数据”,并且“甚至没有收集内部应用程序性能分析”。该公司还表示:
"User activity is proxied through Kraken’s own infrastructure, shielding your IP address and preventing your identity and location information from potential external exposure."“用户活动通过 Kraken 自己的基础设施进行代理,保护您的 IP 地址并防止您的身份和位置信息受到潜在的外部暴露。”
For security, the wallet features mobile biometrics and user password protection,while its code has been audited by Trail of Bits. The app's code is also open-source and available on GitHub.
为了安全起见,该钱包具有移动生物识别和用户密码保护功能,其代码已经过 Trail of Bits 审核。该应用程序的代码也是开源的,可在 GitHub 上获取。
Function-wise, Kraken Wallet supports decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens, nonfungible tokens (NFTs), interaction with decentralized applications (dApps) through Wallet Connect, and "24/7/365" customer support.
从功能上来说,Kraken 钱包支持去中心化金融(DeFi)代币、不可替代代币(NFT)、通过 Wallet Connect 与去中心化应用程序(dApp)交互以及“24/7/365”客户支持。
"Kraken Wallet is how we invest in the your keys, your crypto ecosystem which is vital for the existence of permissionless financial access," said Eric Kuhn, product director for Kraken Wallet, in a statement.
Kraken 钱包产品总监 Eric Kuhn 在一份声明中表示:“Kraken 钱包是我们投资您的密钥和加密生态系统的方式,这对于无需许可的金融访问的存在至关重要。”
Exchanges have increasingly turned to the self-custody wallet sector amid a worldwide regulatory tightening on their activities.
随着全球范围内对其活动的监管收紧,交易所越来越多地转向自我托管钱包领域。
On April 11, Kraken announced that it is winding down support for the Monero privacy token for its customers based in Ireland and Belgium. Last October, the exchange suspended support for several stablecoins, such as Tether (USDT) and DAI, for its Canadian users.
4 月 11 日,Kraken 宣布将逐步停止对爱尔兰和比利时客户的门罗币隐私代币支持。去年 10 月,该交易所暂停了对其加拿大用户的几种稳定币的支持,例如 Tether (USDT) 和 DAI。
In many jurisdictions, self-custody wallets are not subjected to the same rules that apply to money transmitters, such as exchanges, as they do not natively process fiat money transactions.
在许多司法管辖区,自我托管钱包不受适用于货币传输者(例如交易所)的相同规则的约束,因为它们本身并不处理法定货币交易。
On March 19, the European Parliament scrapped a 1,000 euro ($1,080) limit on cryptocurrency payments from self-hosted crypto wallets as part of new Anti-Money Laundering laws.
3 月 19 日,作为新反洗钱法的一部分,欧洲议会取消了对自托管加密钱包的加密货币支付 1,000 欧元(1,080 美元)的限制。
Similarly, on March 28, U.S. District Judge Katherine Failla ruled that Coinbase Wallet was "not a broker" and, therefore, not subject to brokerage rules set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
同样,3 月 28 日,美国地区法官 Katherine Failla 裁定 Coinbase Wallet“不是经纪人”,因此不受美国证券交易委员会制定的经纪规则的约束。
