Importing your wallet allows you to use multiple different types of Web3 wallets and their services, keeping your assets together. There is no need to make a transaction from one wallet to another, as the same assets, information and history remain. The only difference is the platform used.
Kraken Wallet allows you to import one Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP) into the Kraken Wallet app. There's no limit on how many wallets you can import, so long as they are associated with the same SRP.
How to import from MetaMask
