Introduction

Kalman is a systematic trading desk on Solana that publishes its own results, and a platform being built around the same strategies.

What Kalman is

Four systematic strategies, running as ten bots across seven markets, trade Kalman's own capital on Solana — spot through Jupiter, perpetuals on Phoenix. Everything they do is published: every fill, the fees and slippage on each one, the equity curve, the drawdowns. Not a summary of the good months. The desk is read-only to visitors; you can watch it without an account and without a wallet.

The reason to publish that much is simple. A trading claim that cannot be checked is not a claim, it is a mood. So the strategies are described here at the level the code is written at — the actual equations, the actual parameter values, the actual conditions that fire an order — and the numbers in these pages are the numbers in the running configuration.

The platform

Alongside the desk there is an account. You sign in by signing a message with your own Solana wallet — no transaction, no gas, no approval that lets us move anything. Kalman then creates a trading wallet for you: a separate Solana keypair, held server-side, whose private key you can export at any time. You deposit USDC as capital and a little SOL for gas. Withdrawals go back to the wallet you signed in with, and nowhere else.

What is live today is the account layer: sign-in, the trading wallet, deposits, withdrawals, and key export. Running these strategies against your own balance is the next phase and is not shipped yet. Until it is, the deposit flow exists so the rails can be tested with real money — yours or ours — not because anything is trading on your behalf.

What these pages cover

• Getting started — the whole account flow end to end, in the order you will meet it.
• Strategies — one page per strategy at full depth: the model, the exact entry and exit conditions, the live parameter values, what makes the strategy sit out, and how it loses money.
• Wallet & custody — how the trading key is stored, what the signer can and cannot be asked to do, and the residual risks stated rather than glossed.
• FAQ — fees, supported wallets, networks, jurisdictions.

The methodology pages cover the same strategies more briefly, plus the backtest engine, the cost model, and the data sources and their limits. The live desk is where the results are.
