Oracle, not bot
A bot executes. An oracle judges. Gecko is the oracle: it produces a verdict on whether an action is safe and sound, and any bot — ours or yours — acts on it. The execution venue (OKX, Jupiter, Kamino, based.bid) is swappable plumbing.Verdict & dissent
A verdict is the panel’s judgment plus the surviving dissent — the strongest argument against the action that wasn’t refuted. A verdict with no honest dissent is a red flag, not a green light. Backtest verdicts are gradedDEPLOY / PAPER ONLY / REJECT, and a clean null (no edge) is a valid result.
Non-custodial custody
Signing happens inside the OKX Agentic Wallet TEE — the private key is generated in and never leaves the enclave. Alternatively, a scoped embedded wallet (per-tx cap, allowed venues) can be provisioned for one-click onboarding. Either way, Gecko never holds your raw key.Hurdle rate
A yield position must beat a hurdle to be worth the risk. Default is a Brazilian CDB-after-tax (~12%); a crypto-only hurdle is ~5.5%. Below the hurdle, the monitor rotates or exits.Liquidation buffer
For any leveraged position, the buffer is1 − operating_LTV / liquidation_LTV — how far collateral can fall before liquidation. The monitor compares the buffer to a predicted downside (derived from the same market-temperature read that gates trades) and de-leverages or exits before the buffer is breached.
