Explore Kraken Labs: labs.kraken.com
We’re excited to unveil Kraken Labs, initially launched as a series of five interactive data visualization modules created by staff designer Benno Gerrit Wissing.
These experiments use both Kraken-derived and onchain data to explore the limitless possibilities of cryptodata visualization, ranging from highly exploratory and abstract 3D real-time data visualizations to insight-driven experiments using time series clustering and pattern recognition.
We decided to make it public to share what’s possible with the broader crypto community and build on the growing set of data visualization experiments.
Kraken Labs currently includes the following experiments:
Customizable 3D objects each representing a Kraken market. These objects use visual cues to convey the temporal evolution of real-time market data.
The experiment encodes various market data dimensions (volume, change, high/low range, spread, market updates per minute) into 3D object attributes (size, color, noise scale, noise strength, noise speed) to visualize various markets for quick insights into their activity in a glance:
Markets are grouped together by similar chart patterns. It provides a meta-overview of the markets so that instead of analyzing Kraken’s (almost 300) individual USD markets, an algorithm sorts these markets into two to six large groups that develop similarly, which is useful for diversification purposes.
The additional “list view” orders markets by their similarity relative to all analyzed markets to easily identify aberrant (low similarity) and generic (high similarity) markets:
Analyzes that visually uncover chart patterns within any individual Kraken USD market. These patterns highlight recurring, abnormal, and evolving series over the past day to year. Each pattern type can be explored more closely after interaction by hovering or selecting on the chart.
In the detailed pattern view, instances of repeating patterns are overlaid on top of each other to easily see how similar they are, while evolving patterns are stacked on top of each other to visualize their change over time. Patterns of different widths (ie near price data points) can be identified according to user preference:
This visualization displays daily live streamed candlesticks of every USD trading pair on the Kraken exchange. These candles are presented in the shape of Kraken’s iconic animal logo.
Selecting an individual asset reveals an interactive 3D candlestick chart of that market so it can be inspected from a granular perspective. This allows the performance of all Kraken markets to be seen simultaneously and individually in a concise and compelling way:
A tool to visualize the flow of onchain transactions between addresses as a network. Each node represents an address and each edge a transaction. Each address node and transaction edge can be selected to retrieve additional information.
Selected nodes highlight the transaction flow from those respective addresses. Chart tells a visual story of an address and its transaction partners:
