# Gecko — safety & verification layer for trading agents

> Every trade gated, every yield position monitored. The oracle that tells you when the agent is wrong.
> Non-custodial (OKX Agentic Wallet TEE). Pay-as-you-go (x402). Local-first.

Gecko is not a trading bot. It is the verification layer that sits above any trading agent:
it gates every order against a safety check, monitors every yield position against a hurdle
rate and a liquidation buffer, and grades strategies with default-REJECT backtest rigor
(CPCV / PBO / Deflated Sharpe). The bot and the profit vault are proof artifacts, not the product.
