Withdrawal notes:

• Addresses must be pre-configured in Kraken's web UI (can't add via API)
• Can't list saved address names via API — ask the user for the key name
• Addresses are per-asset: a SOL address won't work for USDC withdrawals even if it's the same wallet. Each asset needs its own entry.
• --key is the saved address name in Kraken, not the actual address

Example Usage

User Request	Command
What's my portfolio?	summary
BTC price?	ticker --pair XBTUSD
Export 2025 ledger for taxes	ledger --start 2025-01-01 --end 2025-12-31 --csv
Export trade history	trades --csv

Kraken Pair Naming

Kraken uses non-standard names: XBT (not BTC), XETH (not ETH), Z-prefix for fiat (ZUSD, ZCAD). When unsure of a pair name, run pairs --json and grep for the asset.

Portfolio Logic

Kraken has two earn types:

• Auto Earn (flex): in main wallet, included in trade balance equity
• Bonded staking: separate earn wallet, NOT in trade balance

summary calculates: Total = Trade Balance Equity + Bonded Staking Only
