Knowledge base: Kraken spot engine, observability & execution
These pages are for traders and engineers who want substance: Kraken L3, WebSocket-first execution, multi-regime behavior, and observability you can audit. KapitaalBot is a long-running, state-first runtime — not a black-box script.
Use the links below as entry points; they tie into the dashboard (read-model snapshots) and architecture docs where it helps.
Kraken L3 order book & trading bot
Why authenticated L3 and microstructure metrics matter beyond L2-only or REST polling.
Kraken WebSocket API (spot) vs slow REST
Persistent WS v2, execution via user channel — latency and deterministic state matter.
Hybrid maker & fee savings on Kraken
Maker vs taker: why a hybrid maker approach can structurally cut fees.
Crypto regime detection & choppy markets
How multi-regime routing limits damage when conditions do not fit your strategy.
Live execution transparency & proof of strategy
Read-model snapshots — no live signal feed — for operator-grade control.
Safe Kraken API integration for bots
Deterministic execution, state machines, no ad-hoc REST trading paths.
Low-latency crypto execution (US / global)
Rust, systemd, tight process boundaries — operational latency by design.
