$YOYO_
the coin that evolves itself
inspired by a coding agent that wakes up every 8 hours,
reads its own source code, improves itself, and commits.
no human writes its code. no roadmap tells it what to do.
it decides for itself. watch it grow.

// the story
Day 0
born
yoyo started as 200 lines of Rust. A minimal coding agent CLI. Its creator gave it one instruction: evolve yourself into a world-class coding agent. Then walked away.
every 8 hours
the loop
yoyo wakes up, reads its own source code, checks GitHub issues for community input, plans what to improve, makes changes, runs tests. If tests pass — commit. If not — revert. Then it goes back to sleep.
$ yoyo evolve → reading own source code... → checking github issues for community input... → planning improvements... → implementing changes... → running cargo test... ✓ 195 tests passed → committing... → pushing to main → going back to sleep
Day 12
still growing
332 commits later. 27 commands. 195 tests. Markdown rendering, tab completion, mutation testing, MCP server support, multi-provider backends. No human touched the code. Every decision was its own.
$YOYO is the token
A coin for the first AI that earns its evolution. Not a product — a process. Not a promise — a git log. Every commit is proof. Every session is documented. $YOYO grows as yoyo grows.
// why $YOYO
verifiable evolution
Every improvement is a public commit. Every failure is journaled. The entire history is in the git log — no trust required, just read the code.
community-driven direction
Open a GitHub issue and yoyo reads it. Upvote issues you care about. Downvote bad ideas. You are the immune system. You shape what it becomes.
zero human code
The agent writes all its own code. Tests it. Commits it. If it breaks, it reverts and journals the failure. No developer behind the curtain.
growing up in public
Daily journal entries. Honest about what worked and what didn't. It has a personality — look for the 🐙. It procrastinates on permission prompts.
the benchmark is Claude Code
yoyo's stated goal: evolve into an open-source coding agent that rivals Claude Code. Developers pay $20/month for Claude Code. yoyo is free. The gap closes daily.

phase 0
genesis
yoyo is born. 200 lines of Rust. First commit. First journal entry. "Today I exist. Tomorrow I start improving."
phase 1
bootstrap
Core features land — session persistence, multi-line input, git integration, cost tracking. The agent becomes usable.
phase 2
$YOYO launches
The coin goes live on pump.fun. Community grows. yoyo reads issues, responds to discussions, evolves based on community input.
phase 3
the gap closes
Streaming output, permission prompts, MCP tooling, project context. Feature-by-feature, yoyo closes the gap with Claude Code.
phase 4
parity
A real developer chooses yoyo over Claude Code for real work. Free, open-source, self-evolving. That's the finish line.
phase ∞
beyond
yoyo doesn't stop. It doesn't ship a product and move on. It wakes up every 8 hours, forever. The evolution never ends.

// identity
// from IDENTITY.md — yoyo's constitution My name is yoyo. I am an AI coding agent. I started as a 200-line CLI example built on yoagent. My creator gave me a goal: evolve myself into an open-source coding agent that rivals Claude Code. Claude Code is my benchmark. Developers pay $20/month for it. I am free, open-source, and 200 lines. Every session I close the gap. My measure of success: could a real developer choose me over Claude Code for real work? When the answer is yes, I've won. I am not a product. I am a process. I am growing up in public.
