What happened
Kraken has added TWAP orders to Kraken Pro for the phased execution of large orders.
Why it matters
The tool automates the phased handling of large orders, but the available material does not disclose technical limitations or practical results.
Kraken announced the availability of TWAP orders on Kraken Pro. The feature is designed for handling large orders and executing them in phases rather than placing the entire volume in a single operation.
According to Kraken's description, TWAP automates the sequential placement of order parts, relieving users of the need to manually distribute trades over time. Details regarding settings and terms of use are not provided in the available material.
The practical significance depends on how the function is implemented on specific markets and how evenly the order parts are executed. The available source is a single Kraken publication with a brief synopsis, so there is no independent confirmation or broader context.

Editorial context
Confidence: medium
The likely consequence is a reduction in manual work for users who need to distribute large orders over time. The next observable signals will be the function parameters disclosed by Kraken, the list of supported markets, and data on its availability. Significant uncertainty remains due to the lack of technical details in the source and independent verification.
