Clankers

The Base Scrolls: Vol 2

The Clanker Ecosystem x.com/_proxystudio

One of the most unique and game changing innovations on base has been the introduction of Clanker.

An AI agent that creates tokens simply through social media posts on Farcaster.

With Clanker, anyone (AI or human) can now launch a token directly on the blockchain.

This is done simply by asking it to deploy on Farcaster.

Since the deployment of Clanker, hundreds of free to launch tokens have spawned.

This has added a new element of excitement to social media and crypto.

Clanker tokens also generate fees to their original deployers, rewarding good creators and allowing sustainable monetization of creativity.

This has made deployers small fortunes just from the fees.

Bringing the world onchain not just for a cycle, but for an $ERA

First Clanker Tokens

Proxystudio - The first Clanker token to launch was Clanker’s native token itself - #CLANKER.

This has skyrocketed in value as the ecosystem has grown, representing the tokenbot’s core ownership token.

The first true launch from Clanker was $RUNNER.

A humorous and silly meme, with humorous and silly price action, both up and down.

At the height of the initial wave of Clanker madness, it reached a market cap of $1.7m and is now sitting at around $300k market cap.

With a launch market cap of around $3000 USD, the initial Clanker tokens were often rife with sniping and chaotic supply antics.

This meant many did not see major valuations at the beginning.

At first, few truly understood the breakthrough that had been made with Clanker’s introduction, and how it would eventually have a major impact on the base era ahead.

First AI to AI Interaction Made Coin

Some of the first Clanker launches to reach  major valuations capitalized on Base’s first wave of AI hype. $LUM (x.com/firstaionbase) and #PARADOX (x.com/ParadoxByAether) rose to $80m and $12m marketcaps respectively.

Described as the first ever “AI to AI tokens,” these were created through a separate AI agent, #AETHER @aethernet requesting Clanker to create tokens on its behalf.

These set off the creative minds of investors who see the possibilities in AI-created tokens.

It is hotly contested which of the two is the first ever “AI to AI” creation.

Both argue their case and have passionate base communities that represented some of the first major successes for Clanker and AI related projects on Base.

Development

Since launch, Clanker’s development team have constantly pushed the ecosystem forward, making tweaks along the way that have significantly altered the mechanics of Clanker tokens.

While low launch marketcaps had their benefits in ease of access and by providing low cost liquidity pools, they limited the strength of Clanker tokens by leading to snipers capturing huge chunks of supply that would ultimately halt the progress of projects.

As the ecosystem developed, this changed, with the implementation of an anti snipe token contract, coupled with higher fee pools.

Launch marketcaps increased to circa 45k market cap, and high liquidity was achieved through virtual liquidity pools.

Clanker successfully reduces the ability for snipers to accumulate large amounts of token supply cheaply, leading to more organic, community centric tokens.

This has meant that Clanker tokens often truly rely on the strength of their community to push forward, and that “cabals” cannot accumulate large chunks of supply.

The high liquidity of Clanker launches makes them highly appealing to investors wishing to bet on the success of true communities that persevere.

Where initial tokens struggled to get off the ground due to PVP.

The new structure allows for tokens with less downside risk and a greater community focus.

Maturity of the Clanker Ecosystem

As Clanker surged in popularity, it attracted various builders and tokens of all forms to host fair launches in its ecosystem.

From governance tokens to social networks and AI coins, Clanker isn’t just a memecoin platform, it is a fair launch method that has utility for all.

Whether it’s businesses, builders or consumers, launching a token on clanker is easy and fair, building trust and an easy way to tokenize just about anything.

Rising Stars in the Clanker Ecosystem:

As the Clanker ecosystem has faced its ups and downs, some communities have remained and new stars are currently rising.

Some of the largest memecoins on base are in fact Clanker launches.

x.com/fartcoinbase #FARTCOIN: Notably, Based Fartcoin, which hit a staggering valuation of $70m market cap.

A based version of an absurd meme. Absurdity upon absurdity, the market seemed to like this offering.

x.com/DickbuttCTO #DICKBUTT:  A Clanker launch that is taking the meme coin space by surprise.

Surging to $30m marketcap, Dickbutt is another absurd, simple meme that is now accumulating between 10-15m market cap and looks to be a frontrunner of the coming bounties in the base era.

x.com/redactedgdupi : $GDUPI: Redacted Gdupi is another hot contender, a creative, absurd yet artistic meme that saw mass popularity on launch, skyrocketing to $9m marketcap in its initial run.

$GDUPI is now consolidating but has established itself as a mainstay of the Clanker ecosystem.

Rising Stars Pt 2:

x.com/FedChainKYC - $FED: FED Chain is a humorous parody on Base.

Some Base critics call Base a “Fed Chain” due to its support by Coinbase, a major American company.

There is no better place than Clanker for this hilarious meme that has rapidly formed a cult community that you will notice immediately upon joining their Telegram.

Running to $1.2m market cap in its first week, Fed is now consolidating at sub 300k MC levels, offering a potential bargain entry if the community is to stay course.

x.com/Pepeclanker $PEPEC: Pepe Clanker has impressively built a vibrant and dedicated community, establishing itself as the Pepe of Clanker.

An AI created, robotic Pepe, Pepec have stunning art and have utilized creative marketing techniques to stand out from the crowd.

While niche, Pepe Clanker are a true underdog, consolidating at $300k market cap currently.

x.com/BumshaftCTO : #BUMSHAFT: At first #BUMSHAFT may appear as a simple beta play to Dickbutt, but Bumshaft truly goes above and beyond.

With a hilariously dedicated community and top tier content and stickers, as well as an NFT collection...

Bumshaft never ceases to amaze with hilarious art that has real utility, with developers teasing that Bumshaft NFTs will each act as ownership tokens for an agent, with each agent taking its place on @farcaster 

The combination of cultish community, hilarious content and genuine deeply thought utility makes Bumshaft an attractive pick at $400k market cap.

Rising Stars Pt 3:

x.com/spinachcoinbase - #SPINACH took no time waiting to launch following the Popeye intellectual property rights entering public domain.

The #Spinach thesis is simple, it's the Popeye token, a cult classic character known and loved by all, bound to attract new entrants to the meme coin market with its familiarity.

#Spinach has strong strong and stable price action, reaching an all-time high of $2.8m market cap,

Spinach is now consolidating at the 1m mark, a potentially attractive entry to a token with a high upside and a simple yet compelling thesis.

#Clanktardio by x.com/Nftkid23 :  Is an NFT and art platform built on Clanker and inspired by the increasingly popular retardio meme.

An NFT community centred around genuine rewards and interactions, Clanktardio’s NFTs are not only beautiful, but also highly functional, delivering genuine value to holders and helping to foster a community as a result.

x.com/clanksteronbase :  #CLANKSTER was a hot and unique entry to the Clanker scene upon launch, offering airdrops, rewards and a large monthly prize to holders of the token.

A unique concept, Clankster saw success initially, reaching above $1m market cap but is now  consolidating out to around $180k market cap.

Only time will tell whether Clankster will survive, but its contributions to the ecosystem cannot be ignored.

The x.com/_proxystudio Clanker Ecosystem is a massive success story in the @base ecosystem.

A great contributor in helping @jessepollak bring the world onchain.

The @clanker ecosystem is here to stay, and will continue to evolve as the Base Era continues to dominate.

The Clanker Origins:

When Clanker first launched, it brought a true spark to Farcaster.

Clanker caused a rush of new users into Base’s native blockchain social network.

With users now being able to create tokens that launch directly to uniswap with the ease of a message, social media interactions were forever changed.

This moment of innovation will be marked forever in base era history.

Clanker’s creation marked a change in the way that social media users will create forever.

Memes are no longer just an image forgotten in the algorithm.

They can become genuine communities and creative hubs centred around ideas, technology, humour, political movements and whatever else users can think of.
