TL;DR
- Enroll in the Kraken Halloween sweepstakes on the Kraken app, on the Kraken Pro app, or on Kraken Pro web before you trade: entries only count on volume generated after you enroll.
- $1 traded = 1 entry: spot and instant buy trades on Kraken and Kraken Pro earn entries automatically throughout October.
- 1,000 SOL for one winner: a single grand prize selected at random on or after October 31.
- Eligibility: Open to eligible clients across most of our markets, with some countries and US states excluded.
This October, we’re putting 1,000 SOL on the line. One winner. One draw. The campaign closes on Halloween.
Enroll on the Kraken app or on the Kraken Pro app or Kraken Pro web, then trade the way you normally would. Every dollar of eligible spot or instant buy volume earns you an entry, automatically. The campaign runs all month, and every eligible trade between now and October 31 adds up.
The prize
1,000 SOL. Awarded in full to one randomly selected winner on or after October 31.
No runner-up pool, no split prize: 1,000 SOL to one account. The single-winner structure keeps the number large and the stakes simple.
How to enter
Enroll first on the Kraken app or on the Kraken Pro app or Kraken Pro web. Open the sweepstakes from the Kraken app, the Kraken Pro app, or Kraken Pro web, and enroll before you start trading. Any volume generated before enrollment will not count toward entries.

A free alternate method of entry is available with no purchase necessary. Full details are in the terms and conditions.
