What open source projects does KRX maintain?
KRX Labs maintains several open source projects including: Hugo RL-LLM (LLM-enhanced Reinforcement Learning), Strike (AI-augmented security testing in Rust), Trace (autonomous SWE-Bench agent), Adversaria (LLM adversarial testing), Aegis (LLM capability firewall), Zenta (post-quantum crypto migration), ETH.id (ZK document verification), and GrabKit (web content extraction for AI).
Is KRX Labs hiring?
Yes. KRX Labs is actively hiring for remote positions in software engineering, cybersecurity, and AI infrastructure. Visit krxlab.com/careers for open positions. We seek builders who care deeply about technology, infrastructure, and solving hard problems.
What is Kiodo?
Kiodo is a KRX Labs product (kiodo.dev) focused on developer tools and infrastructure. It embodies the same principles of precision engineering and security-first design that define all KRX products.
What is the KRX approach to cybersecurity?
KRX Labs treats cybersecurity as an architectural concern, not a bolt-on feature. We implement security by design: deterministic capability firewalls, taint tracking, infrastructure-level policy enforcement, and AI-augmented vulnerability discovery. Our frameworks (Strike, Aegis) reflect this philosophy.
How does KRX handle AI infrastructure?
KRX builds production-grade AI infrastructure with reproducibility, checkpointing, and benchmarking built in. We connect AI capabilities with data engineering and security — ensuring models are deployed on solid infrastructure foundations, not experimental sandboxes.
What technology stack does KRX Labs use?
KRX Labs leans toward: Rust for systems and security tooling, TypeScript/Next.js for web infrastructure, Python for AI/ML pipelines, and cloud-native architectures on Cloudflare and AWS. We select tools based on the problem — not hype cycles.
How can I contact KRX Labs?

Does KRX Labs invest in other companies?
Through its founder, KRX invests in D2C companies, providing technology infrastructure, backoffice, and growth consulting — not operating the businesses directly but supplying the technical foundations for scale.
What differentiates KRX Labs from other software consultancies?
KRX Labs is not a traditional consultancy. We build infrastructure — not just applications. Our work connects cybersecurity, data, and AI at the architectural level. We ship frameworks, open source tools, and production systems — not slide decks.
