Products
KEK offers a suite of products that give users access to different stages of the strategy lifecycle — from intelligence and validation to optional, user-authorized execution.
Each product serves a distinct role while sharing a common backbone for strategy specifications, validation, and performance intelligence.
KEK products are interfaces to the system — not independent trading engines.
They do not custody funds, do not modify strategies silently, and do not execute trades without explicit user authorization.
What this page covers
- An overview of KEK products
- The role each product plays in the strategy lifecycle
- How products connect through shared intelligence and validation layers
- Where custody and execution boundaries exist
Product overview
KEK products are designed to work together, but can be understood independently.
They align with three core phases:
- Strategy intelligence & development
- Validation & simulation
- Optional execution through non-custodial rails
The shared backbone
All KEK products connect through a shared backbone that keeps strategy creation, testing, and execution cleanly separated.
Shared layers include:
Strategy specification layer Structured, machine-readable strategies with versioning and parameterization.
Validation layer Backtesting, paper trading, risk metrics, and performance diagnostics.
Market & performance data layer Consistent inputs and tracking across research, simulation, and monitoring.
Provenance & monitoring layer Strategy history, refinement cycles, and ongoing evaluation over time.
This structure ensures KEK workflows are repeatable, auditable, and validation-first.
KEK Terminal
KEK Terminal is the primary interface for strategy intelligence, validation, and learning.
It allows users to:
- Explore market context and strategy ideas
- Generate, organize, and manage strategies
- Monitor backtesting and paper trading performance
- Review refinement cycles and strategy evolution over time
What KEK Terminal does not do
- It does not custody funds
- It does not execute trades autonomously
- It does not override or modify strategy logic without versioning
Inputs → Outputs
Inputs: market context, strategy specs, validation reports
Outputs: research views, performance dashboards, refinement actions

KEK Mix
KEK Mix is the strategy generation and optimization engine.
It focuses on:
- Creating structured, machine-readable strategy specifications
- Exploring parameterized variants and strategy families
- Producing testable candidates for systematic validation
KEK Mix can operate as a standalone engine and is currently surfaced within KEK Terminal as part of the end-to-end workflow.
Validation gating
Strategies produced by KEK Mix must complete validation before they are eligible for execution.
This prevents deployment of untested logic and encourages systematic iteration.
Inputs → Outputs
Inputs: strategy templates, constraints, parameter ranges, research signals
Outputs: versioned strategy specs, variants, validation-ready bundles
KEK DEX
KEK DEXKEK DEX is the execution interface for KEK strategies.
It provides:
- User-authorized trade execution
- Non-custodial trading infrastructure
- Access to liquidity through supported third-party execution rails
- Omnichain execution on Orderly Network
Omnichain on Orderly Network
KEK DEX is built on top of Orderly Network's decentralized exchange layer.
Orderly provides an omnichain decentralized orderbook infrastructure and shared liquidity layer that applications can build on — powering high-performance perpetual trading without requiring KEK to build the underlying exchange stack from scratch.
KEK DEX does not generate strategies and does not modify strategy logic.
It executes only what the user explicitly authorizes.
Custody & execution boundary
- KEK DEX does not custody user funds
- Orders are executed only under explicit user permissions
- Users remain in control of execution access and account authorization
Inputs → Outputs
Inputs: validated strategy signals + user authorization
Outputs: executed orders, fills, and execution receipts
How products connect
KEK enforces a clear separation between intelligence, validation, and execution:
- Strategies are generated and refined through KEK Mix
- Validation and monitoring occur through KEK Terminal
- Execution, when chosen, occurs through KEK DEX under user authorization
This separation ensures strategy intelligence, validation, and execution remain independent concerns, reducing risk and improving discipline.
Workflow at a glance
KEK Mix → Validation → Optional execution
- Mix: generate strategy specifications + variants
- Terminal: validate, simulate, monitor, refine
- DEX: execute only if the user chooses to deploy
Why this matters
This structure exists to:
- Prevent execution-first behavior
- Enforce validation before deployment
- Maintain clear custody and authorization boundaries
- Support long-term, systematic trading workflows
KEK products expose the system — they do not shortcut it.
