- up24 opened the incident at degraded, stalled.
- The component started answering again. up24 dates the incident from this moment, not from when its clearing rule finished.
- Kraken marked its notice resolved.
HOW IT FAILED
Stream measurements are kept for seven days, and this incident is older than that. The incident itself is permanent; the ten-second windows behind it are not.
A stream has no latency of its own — a feed either delivers or it does not — so this is Kraken's REST endpoints over the same window, per minute, as the median across them. It answers the question the timeline cannot: whether the rest of the exchange was fine while this feed was down.
DID KRAKEN SAY SO?
Kraken acknowledged the same event 1h 29m before up24 opened this incident, on 18 AUG 2026 04:28 UTC: “Decred (DCR) Funding Delays”. Matching is by time window, and their notice is linked so the pairing can be judged rather than taken on faith.
Decred (DCR) Funding Delays · 18 AUG 2026 04:28 UTC
up24 opened 77 incidents for Kraken in the last 90 days; 39 fall within six hours of something Kraken published, and the rest were never mentioned. At the median, Kraken's own notice came 1h 58m before up24 opened its incident. Pairing is by time alone — nothing checks that a notice is about the fault up24 measured, so the 14 that up24 timestamped first are not scoops. Every entry links to the venue's own notice so the pairing can be judged.
