Since kraken is deprecated but many APIs are stiil not available like follow channel…so we decide to develop code in v5. Is this a good idea?

If helix doesn’t have the endpoint you need, sure.

Since theres no other way to get the data you need.

basically kraken won’t get any new stuff, and might not get any bug fixes.

And helix will get new stuff/bug fixes.
