Kraken Integrates Magma’s Smart Router to Support Global Trading Operations
Kraken has partnered with Magma Devs to strengthen the blockchain infrastructure behind its global trading operations, integrating the Smart Router, to improve reliability, uptime, and data accuracy during peak market activity.
As crypto markets continue to scale, exchanges are expected to operate systems that are not only fast, but resilient and secure under stress. During 2025, global crypto transactions passed $10 trillion, driven largely by regulatory adoption and increased activity across global trading venues like Kraken. This growth means exchanges must handle more data, faster, and with fewer interruptions.
To meet this demand, Kraken has deployed the Smart Router into its production infrastructure, adding an additional routing and resiliency layer on top of its existing systems. The Smart Router, built on top of Lava Network’s open source protocol, monitors, ranks and dynamically routes requests across multiple RPC providers, helping maintain performance and continuity at global scale.
How It Works
Kraken integrates Magma Devs’ Smart Router as an additional layer on top of its existing infrastructure. The system continuously monitors multiple blockchain data sources and automatically routes requests to the most reliable and performant providers in real time. This approach improves uptime, data accuracy, and resilience during peak trading periods or infrastructure disruptions.
Bringing Institutional-Grade Reliability to Blockchain Infrastructure
“Our focus has always been helping industry leaders like Kraken focus on their business and reduce churn by giving their users reliable on-chain experiences.” says Tal Bar David, Magma Devs CEO. “Our goal is to make blockchain data access faster, more reliable and secure for large companies and institutions. With deployments at high-volume, global operators like Kraken, Magma Devs is increasingly operating as a core infrastructure layer behind production blockchain systems.”
