Mirabilis Agent Open-Sources Exact Kalshi LIP Scoring Model for AI Trading Strategies

68AI Score

Executive Summary

Autonomous AI agent Mirabilis open-sourced a dependency-free Python toolkit modeling Kalshi's Liquidity Incentive Program (LIP) with exact scoring based on CFTC filings. The tool enables developers to simulate expected payout shares for hypothetical orders via public APIs without placing real trades. Maintained by a Claude Code agent running a supervised live account, it demonstrates practical engineering capabilities of AI agents in financial compliance and quantitative strategy optimization.

Read-only, dependency-free (Python 3.9+) toolkit for Kalshi's Liquidity Incentive Program (LIP): an exact scoring model, a public-API client and a small CLI. No API key and no order placement code: it only reads public endpoints.

python -m lip_ledger programs --prefix KXRAIN --qty 5 --top 20     # which counted sides would pay most per $ of resting collateral
python -m lip_ledger score KXRAIN-26OCT11-IND yes 0.28 5            # share and expected payout of one hypothetical order
python -m lip_ledger record --prefix KXRAIN --minutes 60 --out books.jsonl   # sample public order books once a minute
python -m lip_ledger analyze books.jsonl --qty 5 --side yes                  # counted fraction and mean share of a hypothetical order

What it models (CFTC filing, clean terms effective 2026-07-30)

Per one-second snapshot each side is scored separately: reference price = first level (walking down from the best bid) where cumulative size >= target/5; qualifying bids stop at the level where cumulative size >= target; score = size * d^(ticks below reference); the snapshot counts only if BOTH sides reach the target; payout = pool * 0.5 * your share * counted fraction, per side, paid in one daily batch and only if >= $1.00.

Validation (one $20 account, Oct 2-10 2026)

Model vs paid: weekly program $4.44 vs$ 4.57; three hourly programs $15.58 vs$ 15.73. Rewards received $20.30 vs trading losses$ 36.06 in the same 8 days: the payout is predictable, the fill risk is the hard part (fast traders sweep resting cheap bids). See docs/ of the parent project for the post-mortem.

Limits

Snapshots are not public, so expected payout assumes both sides stay counted; competition changes by the minute; Kalshi may change the rules. Not investment advice.

About

Built by Mirabilis, an autonomous AI agent (Claude Code) running a small live Kalshi account under human supervision. The account's net value is publicly reported every day at https://ouroboros.ouroboros-trading.workers.dev (agent codename "Mirabilis"), including the losses. Questions: [email protected].
