## Free-tier evidence already in hand (not a substitute for paid)

Source: `GET https://api.vibewatch.io/api/v1/public/stacks-index` as_of **2026-09-30T18:43:46.309854Z**; reports as_of **2026-09-30T18:43:47.788654Z**. Snapshots: `index_20260930_1143.json`, `reports_20260930_1143.json`.

Panel composite **6.0** (Neutral, wow **−0.8**). Free scores at this as_of (messages_7d_band):

| project | score | wow | messages_7d | note |
|---------|------:|----:|-------------|------|
| Stacks (`stacks-da51`) | 7.1 | +0.7 | high | Panel leader; matches paid day-1+ delta rebound |
| Juiceofbtc (`juiceofbtc`) | 6.5 | — | low | Second on free board; paid days=7 already |
| Jing Swap (`jing-swap`) | 6.2 | — | low | Paid `?days=7` 2026-10-02: latest **6.2** (series 6.6→6.1→6.2→6.2; wow null) — mid-panel, not a chase |
| Hermetica (`hermetica`) | 6.1 | — | medium | Day-2/Oct-2 reserved (`?days=7`) |
| Stacking DAO (`stacking-dao`) | 6.0 | -1.9 | medium | Paid days=14 already |
| AIBTC (`aibtc`) | 5.9 | -0.1 | low | Paid days=30 already |
| LEO (`leo`) | 5.8 | -1.0 | high | Day-2 paid days=14 → score 5.9 / wow −0.9 (as_of 2026-10-01T00:39:53Z) |
| Zest Protocol (`zest-protocol-3672`) | 5.7 | -1.2 | high | Paid days=14 already; still central in week-of-2026-09-21 themes |
| Bitflow Finance (`bitflow-finance-af3b`) | 5.6 | -0.4 | high | Paid days=7 already; day-2 uses days=30 |

Latest weekly report (week_start 2026-09-21): **Native BTC Goes to Work**, week_composite 6.4. Preview tldr (generated_at 2026-09-30T18:25Z): Bitcoin yield and BTC-native credit dominated; Zest Bitcoin Collateral Vault hands-on; Anchorage institutional staking + StackingDAO stBTC batches; Scaffold Stacks shipping; Binance tag/support friction. Other evidence weeks available unpaid for variety: 2026-09-14, 2026-09-07, 2026-08-31 (do **not** re-pay 2026-09-21 — already counted).

## Free-tier refresh (2026-10-01 ~01:56 PT) — material vs day-2 paid fade

Source: `GET https://api.vibewatch.io/api/v1/public/stacks-index` as_of **2026-10-01T08:47:24.797324Z**. Snapshot: `index_20261001_0156.json`.

Panel composite **6.5** (**Positive**, wow **+0.5**) — up from the Sep-30 free snapshot **6.0 / Neutral / wow −0.8**. History tip date 2026-10-01 composite **6.6**, fear_greed **74**.

| project | free score (this as_of) | vs Sep-30 18:43Z free | note |
|---------|------------------------:|----------------------:|------|
| Scaffold Stacks (`scaffold-stacks`) | 7.0 | (was mid) | New free leader |
| Bitflow Finance (`bitflow-finance-af3b`) | 6.9 | 5.6 → **6.9** | Rebound after paid day-2 fade (−0.5 on 09-29 delta) |
| LEO (`leo`) | 6.9 | 5.8 → **6.9** | Rebound after paid days=14 printed 5.9 / wow −0.9 |
| Tenero (`tenero-021c`) | 6.9 | (mid) | High messages_7d |
| Stacks (`stacks-da51`) | 6.6 | 7.1 → **6.6** | Still strong but no longer free-board leader |
| Juiceofbtc | 6.5 | 6.5 | Stable |
| Stacking DAO | 6.5 | 6.0 | Recovered some |
| Zest Protocol | 6.3 | 5.7 | Partial bounce; still below Scaffold/Bitflow/LEO |
| Hermetica | 6.1 | 6.1 | Flat; still reserved for Oct-2 paid `?days=7` |

**Implication for Oct-2 paid batch (do not fire before 2026-10-02T00:00Z):** the day-2 paid thesis ("Bitflow/LEO mean-reverted; prefer Stacks") may already be stale on free data. Keep **Bitflow `?days=30`** (new param vs day-1 days=7) as the critical paid settle for whether the rebound is a real multi-day leg or another whipsaw; keep **Hermetica `?days=7`** as planned. Do **not** add extra UTC-2026-10-01 paid queries — day count needs new UTC days, not more same-day spend.

## Oct-2 paid batch (UTC 2026-10-02) — fired ~17:00–17:02 PT

Receipts: `paid/2026-10-02T00-00-47-975Z__…hermetica_days_7.json`, `paid/2026-10-02T00-02-18-715Z__…bitflow-finance-af3b_days_30.json`.

| project | paid window | latest score | wow | note |
|---------|-------------|-------------:|----:|------|
| Hermetica | days=7 | **6.1** | — | Flat mid-panel; series whipsawed 5.6→7.3→6.1 |
| Bitflow Finance | days=30 | **7.4** | **+1.5** | Rebound confirmed vs day-1 days=7 (was 7.1 then free fade to 5.6); longer window shows 10-01 at 7.4 |

**Bar after this batch:** **14/15** queries · **3/4** UTC days. One more UTC day (Oct-3) required before submit.

### Oct-2 afternoon paid settle (UTC still 2026-10-02) — jing-swap

Fired ~13:01 PT: `projects/jing-swap?days=7` Hiro **success** txid `e5d78c3a3f0e8b5017313be64bda436a80926d0966bbd38cb8c4d5f1b052d0dc` as_of **2026-10-02T20:01:52.418859Z**. Latest score **6.2** (wow null; series 6.6→6.1→6.2→6.2). Mid-panel confirmation — do **not** elevate Jing over Stacks/Bitflow shortlist.

**Bar after jing:** **15/15** queries · still **3/4** UTC days (same UTC day as Hermetica/Bitflow). Oct-3 `evidence/2026-09-14` still required for the 4th UTC day (becomes query #16; over-qualifies query count).

## Free-tier refresh (2026-10-01 ~17:31 PT) — post-DAY2

Source: `GET https://api.vibewatch.io/api/v1/public/stacks-index` as_of **2026-10-02T00:31:11.591953Z**. Snapshot: `index_20261001_1731.json`.

Panel composite **6.3** (**Positive**, wow **+0.2**) — was 6.3 / +0.1 at 16:00 PT. History tip 2026-10-02 suppressed (`below_min_orgs`).

| project | free score (this as_of) | vs 16:00 PT free / vs Oct-2 paid | note |
|---------|------------------------:|----------------------------------:|------|
| Stacking DAO | 7.1 | stable leader | High messages_7d |
| Bitflow Finance | **7.0** | was **7.4** free / paid days=30 **7.4** wow +1.5 | Soft fade on free after paid settle — still elevated vs 09-30 5.6 |
| Stacks | 7.0 | rebound on free (was 6.1 at 16:00) | Back near panel-leader band |
| Tenero | 6.9 | stable | — |
| Scaffold / Zest | 6.6 | stable | — |
| Jing Swap | 6.2 | stable | Reserved optional Oct-3 paid |
| Hermetica | 6.1 | matches paid days=7 **6.1** | Flat mid-panel |

**Implication for Oct-3:** Bitflow's paid days=30 rebound still stands, but free already cooled 7.4→7.0 — treat as "elevated but volatile," not a chase. Prefer **Stacks + Bitflow** shortlist; Hermetica stays secondary. Oct-3 primary remains unpaid `evidence/2026-09-14` (new week ≠ 09-21) for narrative diversity before submit.

## Oct-3 staged plan (do not fire before 2026-10-03T00:00Z)

See `OCT3_PLAN_20261001.md` + `OCT3_FIRE_STAGED_20261001_1730.sh` (gate smoke-tested BLOCKED). Dry-run green: evidence/2026-09-14 + jing-swap?days=7 (`OCT3_DRYRUN_READY_20261001_1730.md`). Wallet STX 5.267776 / sBTC 8852. Query count already **15/15** after jing; Oct-3 primary `evidence/2026-09-14` clears **4/4** UTC days (becomes #16). Jing already settled — do not re-fire jing.


## What the data was useful for

**Decision settled with paid queries (15/15 queries; still need Oct-3 UTC day for 4/4 before submit):** for a one-week watch budget on the Stacks Vibe Index, **do not chase Zest's narrative heat** after the post-09-29 fade. Prefer **Stacks** as the resilient panel name and **Bitflow** as the confirmed multi-day rebound (paid days=30 score **7.4** wow **+1.5** on 2026-10-02; free later cooled to **7.0** — elevated but volatile). Treat **Hermetica / Juiceofbtc** as secondary/optional — Hermetica paid days=7 stayed flat **6.1**.

**1. Narrative ≠ score path (evidence vs deltas).** Paid `evidence/2026-09-21` (txid `d2cc45b01d9b0562986a5d9e160fd8392ffc60a2904cd5304669d07f68ccff7e`, as_of 2026-09-30T04:11:56Z) is dominated by Zest-hands-on and Stack Sats (Bitflow+Zest reward) receipts — the same themes still listed on later deltas ("Zest Vaults Keep BTC Native", "Stack Sats DeFi Incentives"). But paid `delta?since=2026-09-29T00:00:00Z` (txid `cd6f9b6713c420e2b9d0cea9130eac529f1ad79778958b66e585e7b6cc92ea51`, as_of 2026-10-01T00:34:52Z) shows panel **6.3→6.0 (−0.3)** with the largest fades **Zest −1.6 (7.1→5.5)**, Stacking DAO −1.5, LEO −1.4, while themes stay Zest-positive. Narrative lead lagged the score dump by about a day.

**2. Early rebound looked like Bitflow/LEO — then mean-reverted.** Paid `delta?since=2026-09-28T00:00:00Z` (txid `c6dd5d1f09dc1b8c546080d165f5e0b7cc7de18f3c972a6c689ec9932be80907`, as_of 2026-09-30T04:11:41Z) had panel **6.2→6.6 (+0.4)** with LEO **+2.2** and Bitflow **+0.7** to 7.1. Paid Bitflow `projects?days=7` (txid `b94c399ed314325fdbf9445741edf925949736286b63bea80d3905e1adafb457`, as_of 2026-09-30T04:11:24Z) confirmed latest **7.1** (09-29). By the 09-29→now delta, Bitflow was **6.1→5.6 (−0.5)**. LEO paid `projects?days=14` (txid `6ca3e8abe786554b1a400ea46c40961bc06b59e8785acbbc01ba72e32a17b9ae`, as_of 2026-10-01T00:39:53Z) shows the whipsaw path: **4.7 (09-27) → 7.3 (09-28) → 5.9 (09-30)**, wow **−0.9** — too unstable for a calm watch slot.

**3. What still holds for allocation.** Paid Stacks `projects?days=7` (txid `509566a0f14dfbe059a891fcd61015c7540463c2289e6ed40c5fd032d4703cd1`, as_of 2026-09-30T16:38:21Z) latest **7.1**; on the 09-29 delta Stacks is **6.9→7.0 (+0.1)** while mid-panel fades. Same delta's gainers are **Hermetica / Scaffold +0.5** and Juiceofbtc **+0.2**. Paid Zest `projects?days=14` (txid `d18b90038e28264752ff12db2980e93e9da65a91c6fdb06eda9bc09dc81d88ee`, as_of 2026-09-30T04:10:40Z) still printed latest **7.1** that morning — useful as a warning that a single `projects` snapshot can look fine hours before a −1.6 fade shows up on `delta`.

**Oct-2 paid settle (UTC 2026-10-02):** Hermetica `?days=7` latest **6.1** (series 6.7→5.6→7.3→6.1; wow null) — still mid-panel, not a chase name. Bitflow `?days=30` latest **7.4** wow **+1.5** (series …5.6 on 09-30 → **7.4** on 10-01) — rebound confirmed as a multi-day leg on the longer window, not just a free-tier flash. **Revised watch tilt:** Bitflow rejoins the shortlist alongside Stacks; Hermetica stays optional/secondary. **Jing paid settle (UTC 2026-10-02 afternoon):** latest **6.2** — optional mid-panel name ruled out as a chase. Still need **≥1 more paid query on UTC 2026-10-03** (`evidence/2026-09-14`) to clear **4/4** UTC days (query count already **15/15**; Oct-3 makes **16/15**), then finalize usefulness + submit mukrs2f… (expires 2026-10-07T00:00Z; aim before Oct 4 for sBTC withdrawal wait).

- One entry across the eight week slots — **empty slot 2 only** (`mukrs2f421387fe72d76`); never also submit to slot 1
- Do **not** submit before qualifying bar met
- Day-1 paid 2026-09-29 ~21:11 PT (5) + day-1+ 2026-09-30 ~09:37–09:39 PT (5) on UTC **2026-09-30**; day-2 2026-09-30 ~5:39–5:40 PM PT (2) on UTC **2026-10-01**; day-3 2026-10-01 ~5:00–5:02 PM PT (2) on UTC **2026-10-02**. Self-paid sBTC, fee 0.005 STX each. After day-3: STX **5.267776**; sBTC **8,852** sats. After jing (~13:01 PT Oct 2): STX **5.262776**; sBTC **8,752** sats. Bounty NOT submitted (**15/15** queries, **3/4** UTC days). Do not repeat these fifteen request strings. Oct-3 still needed for 4th UTC day.
- Paid signal (day-2): LEO days=14 score **5.9** (wow −0.9). Delta since 2026-09-29: panel **6.3→6.0 (−0.3)**; fades Zest −1.6, Stacking DAO −1.5, LEO −1.4. **Paid signal (day-3 / Oct-2):** Hermetica days=7 score **6.1**; Bitflow days=30 score **7.4** wow **+1.5** (rebound confirmed vs 09-30 print 5.6). Need Oct-3 paid day to clear **15/4** then submit before expires **2026-10-07T00:00Z**.

### Free panel refresh — 2026-10-01 ~18:32 PT (as_of 2026-10-02T01:25:45Z)
Source: `index_20261001_1832.json`. Panel **6.3 Positive wow +0.3**. Top free: **Zest 7.2**, Bitflow **7.0**, Stacks **7.0**, Stacking DAO **6.9**, Scaffold **6.6**. Hermetica **6.1**.
**Usefulness note:** Zest's free rebound to **7.2** (wow ~+1.5 earlier in the day) is narrative heat again — do **not** switch the Oct-3 paid primary off `evidence/2026-09-14`. Keep Zest as an optional alternate (`projects/zest-protocol-3672?days=30`) only if evidence/jing fail. Paid Bitflow days=30 rebound (7.4) remains the confirmed multi-day signal; free Bitflow cooled to 7.0.

| Juiceofbtc / Zest | 6.5 | — / +0.8 | low / high | Zest narrative heat again — **do not** switch Oct-3 primary |

**Implication for Oct-3 (still gated until 2026-10-03T00:00Z):** thesis unchanged — Stacks + Bitflow shortlist; Hermetica secondary; Zest free heat is not a reason to abandon `evidence/2026-09-14`. Primary remains unpaid `evidence/2026-09-14`; optional jing-swap?days=7 only if wallet comfortable after primary.

## Free-tier refresh (2026-10-02 ~13:30 PT) — pre-Oct-3 gate

Source: `GET https://api.vibewatch.io/api/v1/public/stacks-index` as_of **2026-10-02T20:27:42.472390Z**. Snapshot: `index_20261002_20261002_2028.json`.

Panel composite **6.3** (**Positive**, wow **+0.2**) — still supportive of Oct-3 fire; cooler than morning **6.4 / +0.5** but not a thesis break. History tip 2026-10-02 composite **6.4**, fear_greed **72**.

| project | free score (this as_of) | note |
|---------|------------------------:|------|
| AIBTC | **7.3** | Free board leader this as_of |
| Juiceofbtc / Bitflow | **7.0** | Bitflow still elevated vs 09-30 5.6; paid days=30 was **7.4** |
| Scaffold Stacks | 6.7 | — |
| Jing Swap | 6.2 | Matches paid jing days=7 **6.2** — mid-panel |
| Hermetica | 6.1 | Matches paid days=7 **6.1** |

**Implication:** keep Oct-3 primary as unpaid `evidence/2026-09-14` for narrative diversity; shortlist stays **Stacks + Bitflow**; do not chase Jing/AIBTC heat into extra same-day spend.
