Season 1 has started. And if you’re a Kraken Pro trader, you’re already in it.
What are Ink Points?
Ink Points are how we recognize our most active Kraken Pro customers. Points accumulate based on your activity across Kraken Pro, and they open the door to the Ink ecosystem and everything it has to offer.
The more you engage, the more points you accumulate. The more points you accumulate, the higher your level.
We know what you’re thinking: okay, but what do I actually get?
Great question. Moving on.
What is live now
Ink Points accrue from activity across Kraken Pro. If you’re using Pro, you’re earning points right now. Actually, the clock started April 6 and the first points drop will be today.
Weekly boosts add another layer. Each week, we’ll let you know about specific activity categories that will receive a points boost, giving Pro customers a reason to stay sharp, stay engaged, and stay ahead.
So there’s information. About points. That you accumulate. For reasons that will become clear soon.
What is coming
Shortly, we’ll announce the full structure. There are six levels. That’s a real number we’re allowed to say.
We are going to tell you so much more than we’re telling you right now. Soon. Very soon. Like really, really soon.
About the levels: they go up. You start somewhere, and through consistent activity, you progress. The early levels are about building habits. The middle ones are where competition starts to get real.
The top level? It’s where the most active traders on Kraken Pro end up. And it shows: your tier will be visible on the season leaderboard, which means your position is more than a number. It’s a statement.
What are points actually for?
We’re so glad you asked, because it gives us the opportunity to tell you we can’t tell you yet.
We’re not doing this to be cute. We are navigating this announcement with all the grace and transparency we can currently afford, which is: a wink, an ellipsis, and the sincere thought that it will be worth it.
So start accumulating points by trading on Kraken Pro. If you haven’t started, start now. You’ll be glad you did.
