US Perps clients connect to Kraken’s order entry (FIX), market data (SBE) and drop copy (FIX) sessions. All connections require TLS. Connectivity options range from standard network access to colocation, for clients that need the lowest and most predictable latency. Before connecting, you’ll need credentials and session identifiers (such as your SenderCompID) from Kraken; these are provided during onboarding.

Colocation

US Perps is reachable over the same colocation cross-connects that already serve Kraken Spot and Futures. If you already have a cross-connect to Kraken, it will work for US Perps — no new physical connectivity is needed. If you don’t have a cross-connect yet, see Colocation and connectivity for the options and requirements, and contact your Account Manager to begin onboarding. Network design details are shared under NDA.
