Kraken has partnered with Magma Devs to help strengthen the infrastructure behind its global trading operations, integrating the Smart Router, powered by Lava Network’s open source protocol, to improve automation around reliability, uptime, and data accuracy during peak market activity.
Berlin, Feb 10, 2026. 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.
As part of efforts to help meet this demand, Kraken is adding the Smart Router into its world-class blockchain infrastructure to strengthen its extensive automated processes, which support platform uptime and block validation. Magma Devs’ 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.
Bridging Traditional Finance Standards with Blockchain Infrastructure
The partnership highlights Magma Devs’ growing role as an infrastructure partner for large exchanges and institutions operating at scale. As regulation increasingly allows traditional finance to move on-chain, blockchain infrastructure must meet the same operational standards expected in global financial markets.
“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.”
How It Works
Kraken will integrate Magma Devs’ Smart Router into its existing homegrown blockchain platform, which currently supports over 120 distinct blockchains today. 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 and infrastructure disruptions.
