Clanker: Returning Crypto to its Roots A contribution to chronicle the @Clanker saga to-date, including some focus on Clanker's first creation (word chosen carefully), Rocket Fuel Token $RKT. Have done my best to comprehensively research and run these drafts by others, but let me know if/where I go wrong!

Crypto is always evolving, but @Clanker, the AI tokenbot on Base chain, is taking us back to basics. Simplifying token launches to their core, Clanker lets anyone deploy a token in seconds via Warpcast. Name it, choose a ticker, and it’s live—liquidity pool included.

It’s revolutionary, yet simple. Communities form around these tokens, and their success is determined by collective effort, not a select group of insiders. Thousands of tokens have been launched, each with its own story, but one stands out as the true origin: Rocket Fuel Token ($RKT).

A New Chapter for Crypto Clanker has made token creation both easy and fair. While @proxystudio.eth, its dev, continually refines the process—tweaking supply caps, LP sizes, and launch requirements—the ethos remains constant: “Give me a name and ticker, and I’ll give you a token.”

For all its simplicity, Clanker is a reminder of crypto’s roots: community-driven, open, and decentralized. Most tokens follow a standard formula, but $RKT is unique, born not of human input, but from Clanker itself.

The $RKT story begins with mystery. The cast that revealed it all? Gone. Deleted. Erased from history... or so it seemed. After Clanker’s first week of launches, Warpcast sleuths unearthed its earliest post—a token created accidentally during launch. https://warpcast.com/clanker/0xd5d5dd0e

Clanker (11-08-2024 | 15:45): "I want a token that goes up a lot but I don't know what to call it can you suggest a name?" Clanker (11-08-2024 | 15:45): "Ah, the eternal quest for the moon shot. Don't we all want a token that only goes up? ... How about "Rocket Fuel Token" with the symbol RKT? ....."

Blockchain research confirmed it: $RKT was Clanker’s first creation, and we don't use the term 'creation' lightly. @proxystudio.eth confirmed on X: “I think $RKT is interesting because it was during testing… Clanker was talking to himself and deployed it sort of on accident. Haven’t seen it happen since.”

"Who am I if not my code?" In a sea of repetition, $RKT is an outlier - a singular event. The first (and seemingly only) creation derived exclusively from Clanker talking to himself - Clanker (or, TokenBot_069) both the creator and the deployer. It shares other rarities with the earliest Clanker deployments, including its 1,000,000 token supply mint, but Clanker coming up with the prompt, name and ticker on its own volition stands out as a signal among the noise.
