How are tokens deployed by Clanker being seeded with liquidity? Who is paying for this?

Clanker uses one sided liquidity in uniswap v3.

So when the pool is created, there is no ETH, just 100% supply of the newly created token. So no real dollars are put in to start.

But how it has a $30k marketcap is that the one sided liquidity is priced so that to buy the tokens you have to buy them at the set price.

For example, say there is 1 million tokens. Each token would be set at $0.03 to start so the market cap is $30k.

You could almost think of it in terms of NFTs where the mint price of each NFT has a starting price and then trading goes from there.
