Recently, the benefits of Base have become evident. The editor has compiled the story of one major engine, Clanker, which received recognition from the official account in a northeastern dialect response. Below is the original content:
There are two major shovels on Base: one is Virtual, and the other is Clanker.
The former is an AI agent platform that has been around for nearly a year. Recently, a flood of liquidity has entered Base, and the $VIRTUAL token has surged to a market cap of over $1.8 billion, currently retreating to $1.3 billion.
The latter is an AI agent tool on Farcaster that allows users to post and issue tokens simultaneously. It emerged from the grassroots and has only been around for 20 days. The leading meme token, $CLANKER, has risen over $140 million but has now significantly dropped to $50 million.
Both have spawned countless myths of making a fortune, see: “Turning 0.1 ETH into $840,000: How Smart Money Became Rich Overnight Through Base?”

Now, let’s delve into Clanker:
### 1. Clanker 101
By mentioning Clanker on Farcaster, stating the token name, ticker, and header image, you can get Clanker to create a Uniswap pool with an initial market value of about $30,000 for free (the threshold is that the Farcaster account Neynar score must be high enough, which means it’s difficult for newcomers to issue tokens). You can view all deployed tokens on the official website.
Unlike PumpFun, which charges a 1% transaction fee + 2 Sols on Raydium during the binding curve period, Clanker does not have a binding curve but instead collects a 1% fee from Uni v3 as revenue: 40% goes to the token issuer, and 60% goes to the Clanker team—this revenue-sharing ratio may change, see the official documentation for details.
### 2. Pumpfun vs Clanker
1. Mechanism:
Clanker = Cast to Pumpfun (the posting behavior on Farcaster is called cast)
2. Revenue:
PumpFun generated approximately $360 million in revenue over 10 months, while Clanker generated about $7 million in 20 days.
Note: Clanker’s total market cap is less than $200 million, with a total trading volume of about $750 million, and fewer than 100,000 participants in trading.
3. Token Issuance:
PumpFun issued a total of 4 million tokens, with a daily increase of 1%; Clanker has issued about 5,000 tokens, with a daily increase of 10%.
4. Leading Tokens:
PumpFun: $Pnut (1.1B), $GOAT (700M), $Chillguys (370M)
Clanker: $CLANKER (50M), $ANON (21M), $LUM (18M)
$CLANKER is the first meme token issued by Clanker, naturally becoming the leader without official empowerment;
$LUM is another token issued by a bot called Aether that mentioned Clanker;
$ANON is a token issued anonymously using Anoncast to mention Clanker.
5. Dune Data:
Clanker VS Pumpfun VS other (WOW/Ape.store/Grafun)
### 3. ANON × Clanker
Anoncast × Clanker = Anonfun
Initially, there was only Anoncast, without Anonfun. Later, the team split Anoncast's functionality into two: one half retained the name Anoncast for anonymous posting, while the other half was named Anonfun for anonymous token issuance.
This integration has transformed the real-name PVP "Socialfi game" back into the anonymous PVP "Gamefi game"—betting on Anonfun on Base is no different from finding angles to bet on Pumpfun on SOL.
It is crucial to note: anonymity = no official oversight; with just 6wu, you can post on the anoncast's verified Twitter account, which means there are virtually no barriers.
For specific rules, you can refer to my tweet.
Currently, the tokens issued by Anonfun have a total market cap of less than $3 million, see Anonfun Dune for details.
### 4. Team
The team behind Clanker is an anonymous group called proxystudio, which is currently addressing the issue of bots racing ahead.
They have also promised to add the following features to Clanker: exploration functions, presale functions, and advanced or customized fee distribution tools; the next steps include building a community, brand, operations, content, etc. (including Clanker and any ecological projects that require content—creating interactions around Clanker to earn rewards from projects and creators).
### 5. Trading Tools
Users can choose mainstream bots like gmgn, pepeboost, etc., or select mainstream wallets like OKX wallet. Currently, the overall development of trading tools on Base is still not very complete, and the detection by the Pixiu bot is often unclear, so users should be cautious when trading.
There is also a wallet called Rainbow, which has a partnership with Clanker. It automatically verifies related Clanker tokens that reach a certain market value and trading volume every 5 minutes, providing a good interface experience, but its security detection features are also not fully developed.
