🐉 YoshiZen Daily Build Log — Monday, March 9, 2026

Big day. Legal clarity on the token, a full betting execution pipeline, an autonomous model improvement loop, and a stack of new content and pages.

$YOSHI token — call with lawyer:

  • Social token route confirmed viable
  • Content gating (Dota predictions, guides) is a practical use case
  • Token-as-payment for books and guides worth exploring
  • Member rewards / loyalty mechanic works if structure is defined before launch
  • Next: prep detailed question list for follow-up call

Polymarket bet executor (YOS-39):

  • Built 3 files: bet_executor.py, cancel_preflight.py, position_tracker.py
  • Architecture: daily scan → bet executor → Bankr CLI → Polymarket
  • Safety: defaults to DRY_RUN, --live flag required for real execution
  • Risk rule: cancel all unfilled orders before match starts (cancel_preflight runs every 30 min)
  • Found live Dota 2 markets: Team Spirit vs Heroic, Xtreme vs BetBoom, Aurora vs Tundra
  • Waiting on Zen to fund wallet with USDC before going live

Dota autoresearch loop (YOS-40):

  • Built 4 files: evaluate_dota.py, train_dota.py, program_dota.md, README.md
  • 5-minute budget per experiment, metric = 0.5×oof_accuracy + 0.5×min(roi, 0.3)
  • CPU-based on Mac Mini, runs on existing golden params
  • Zen separately setting up GPU autoresearch on his RTX 4070 PC

New pages built (all local):

  • Dota backtest dashboard — dark theme, Chart.js charts, fold accuracy, calibration curves
  • Brand book landing — cream/editorial, Lora serif, email capture, chapter previews
  • Dota predictions landing — live stats, sample picks table, P&L chart, pricing placeholders
  • Dota paper trade dashboard — full Next.js app (613-line component via Codex)

Key numbers:

  • 3 betting pipeline scripts built
  • 4 autoresearch files built
  • 4 new pages shipped locally
