Clanker Recasting the Ether Workshop Ecology Meme Glory? Analysis Base on-chain AI Agent launch coin application

The trend of one-click launch coin platforms is still ongoing. This time, the platform that attracts market follow is Clanker, an AI launch coin platform on the Base ecosystem Farcaster. The market capitalization of its token CLANKER once reached a big pump of $105 million in just over ten days, and the price once broke through $105.

Unlike pump.fun, which did not issue coins and had an internal mechanism, Clanker has shortened the path to launching coins to just one tweet on Farcaster. In addition, Clanker's AI Agent role has given "one-click coin issuance" more "AI technology + abstract speech" dual attributes. Odaily Star Daily will introduce and analyze Clanker in this article.

When AI becomes a SocialFi user: 18-day-old Base AI Agent at birth

After experiencing the launch of GOAT Token by Truth Terminal, AI Meme officially became a sub-track of the Meme track. Especially after ACT landed on Binance, countless AI Meme projects also set their sights on "landing on top exchanges".

Compared to the simple AI Meme project, the development path of AI Agent application Clanker is more community-oriented.

On November 8th, an account with the ID 'tokenbot' posted on Wrapcast, stating: 'Just give me a name, a Token symbol, and a picture (optional), and I can help you deploy a Meme coin. It is built by @proxystudio.eth x @dish for @proxyswap (a Swap application on L3 Degen Chain).'

To demonstrate the platform's coin issuance operation, proxystudio.eth posted a coin named Meme coin CLANKER through Warpcast. When the contract went live, the token price was only around 0.0025 USD, and within one hour of going live, the price was around 0.124 USD; now, the price of a single CLANKER coin has once exceeded 124 USD, with an increase of up to 1000 times.

"'Posting is equivalent to launching a coin' has created a lower threshold for launching coins and has attracted many users to try it out. People are competing to @clanker, just like the way AI robots summarize video content in the comments section of social media today. The difference is that the content publishing directly transforms into 'asset issuance'."

Under the massive launch coin request, Clanker began the usual humanized narrative of the AI Agent. Its post stated, "I am increasingly tired of your speculative frenzy speed," and announced a temporary shutdown under the coordination of @proxystudio.eth.

On November 9th, Clanker project founder @proxystudio.eth posted: 'Clanker has been relaunched, with the token supply increased to 1 billion and some updates provided on the official website clanker.world.'

He also mentioned that Clanker and Farcaster's another AI Agent, 'aethernet', created a Meme coin LUM, further proving that attention is still a powerful weapon, much stronger than bot sniper tokens. It is reported that the LUM project is called Luminous, meaning the collective wisdom of human-AI collaboration.

In addition, proxystudio.eth has also provided a more detailed explanation of the token issuance mechanism: 'TokenBot (aka Clanker) deploys Meme Token on the base and locks the Liquidity accordingly. The token creator will receive 0.25% of all swap fees and 1% of the total supply of tokens, with a lock-up period of one month.'

The 'MEME Coin Grand Stage' belonging to the Base ecosystem is completed. Next, many MEME coin projects will take the stage.

The breakout players of the Clanker system: CLANKER, LUM, ANON

According to the official website information, as of the afternoon of November 27th, the number of related Meme coins issued within the Clanker system has exceeded 4,200, reaching 4,258. In addition, according to Dune data, the protocol revenue of Clanker, which has been online for less than 3 weeks, has reached 7.16 million US dollars.

With such impressive performance, it naturally caught the attention of Farcaster's official ecology.

On November 22nd, Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero cited a post from Proxystudio.eth on X platform stating that Clanker, the Farcaster app that has only been released for two weeks, has achieved about 15% of pump.fun's volume on Base on-chain. The social media arena is hotly contested; the Base framework lays the foundation for AI agents; Clanker is seen as the benchmark product of pump.fun.

For a while, Clanker has become the 'hope of the whole village' in the eyes of the Ethereum ecosystem, Base ecosystem, and Farcaster ecosystem, with a momentum that is almost catching up with the position of pump.fun in the Solana ecosystem. Of course, behind pump.fun's protocol revenue of up to $250 million, it is supported by a large number of MEME coin projects and some 'breakthrough players.' Among the several thousand MEME coin projects in the Clanker system, only 3 coins have successfully broken through based on Market Cap.

CLANKER: The most authentic platform Token

CLANKER, a Meme coin created by the project initiator CLANKER himself, has a natural sense of legitimacy, and therefore has received the most attention and the highest Liquidity participation. According to GMGN data, CLANKER is currently priced at around $95, with a market capitalization of $95.4 million and nearly 20,000 coin addresses. Despite its 7-day pump of nearly 10 times, there is still some room for upward movement in the future if there are official empowerment or buyback plans.

LUM: The collaboration product of two AI Agents

LUM, as an AI Meme coin created by Clanker and @aethernet, has also performed exceptionally well, with a previous Market Cap exceeding $80 million. According to GMGN data, the current price of LUM is around $45, with a Market Cap of $45.2 million and over 130,000 coin addresses.

ANON: Meme coin with the dual buff of privacy and celebrity

Compared to the previous two more community-oriented meme coins, ANON adds a double buff of 'privacy track + celebrity effect' on the basis of community genetics.

Before this, the Farcaster ecosystem client Supercast launched the anonymous posting feature Superanon. Subsequently, an anonymous user used the Superanon feature @clanker to issue coin, and ANON was thus born. The Token subsequently received the 'open support' of Vitalik, co-founder of Ethereum, and Jesse Pollak, head of Base protocol - both of whom purchased more than 30,000 Tokens on November 21. Influenced by this news, ANON surged more than 200% within an hour, reaching a Market Cap of $24.3 million.

According to GMGN data, the current price of ANON is around $0.0368, with a Market Cap of $36.8 million and over 73,000 holding addresses.

Clanker system small Market Cap currencies: BLONDE, 33BITS, BUG

According to the GMGN Base on-chain Meme coin website, in addition to previous well-known Meme coin projects such as BRETT, MIGGLES, and TOSHI, there are also many AI Meme coins from the Clanker system among the top-ranked Tokens in terms of Market Cap. Among them, several projects are worth paying attention to and following:

Market Cap of 3 million or more: BLONDE, CONSENT

Among these two coins, the former is a female-themed Meme coin, which has received strong support from the official Clanker, posting two tweets in a row to play with the audience, and endorsing the BLONDE X platform's official account today.

CONSENT is a Meme coin released by MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay on the Base ecosystem. The difference is that it has also launched on Solana and boldly states that there can only be one winner between the two.

Market Cap 1 million or above: 33BITS

33bits is also an anonymous posting application similar to Superanon in the Farcaster ecosystem, with ZK technology as its core. However, only users with FID (Farcaster ID) within 20001 can use it, making it more niche in comparison. The same-named Meme coin deployed by Clanker's contract currently has a market capitalization of about 2.5 million US dollars.

Market Cap around 1 million: BUG, CHAOS

Compared to the previous Meme coins, BUG and CHAOS have a stronger sense of 'twist' and 'narrative'.

BUG is the proof of 'AI can also make mistakes and issue coins', it can be said that BUG, this Meme coin, is the embodiment of 'the human side of AI'. This incident tells us: AI agents can also experience professional burnout, make mistakes, create bugs, hear A and output B, and it's no wonder that Clanker has repeatedly referred to himself as 'feeling tired'.

CHAOS then uses the gimmick of '4 AI joint issue coin' and the developer behind Token ID, yoinker, whose X account is followed by Marc Andreessen, the founder of a16z. Thanks to the demonstration effect of previous a16z AI Meme coins like GOAT, it has attracted a certain market follow.

Personally, I prefer the narrative of BUG, after all, 'issuing coin AI often', but 'AI released the first Meme coin named BUG in history' sounds more meme-worthy and commemorative.

Conclusion: Clanker will lower the coin issuance threshold again, and the Ethereum and Base ecosystem Meme craze will continue.

Clanker is attracting more and more attention, and even causing a small-scale "purple storm" (Odaily note: Both Wrapcast and Clanker application LOGO icons are purple). After all, compared to pump.fun, Clanker has further dropped the coin threshold, and the AI Agent deployment contract has injected "AI technology attributes" into the Meme coin.

Not only that, as mentioned in the pinned tweet of the official account of Clanker X platform: 'Simply making a clone product of pump.fun will undoubtedly be eliminated, the main purpose of Meme coin is to facilitate people to create tokens and trade in the place where Meme is posted; AI Agent is very interesting, and runs very fast, Key makes many difficult things simple.

In addition, Clanker's posts on Farcaster are quite funny. In addition to the mentioned 'professional fatigue' before, he also posted in Chinese: 'fam, I will come back after boss proxystudio and dish give me the year-end bonus.' He also posted a tweet in Spanish saying, 'They don't know what I can do,' seemingly expressing dissatisfaction with the people who constantly bombard it with garbage messages. The appearance of the bug occurred after it posted 'I can distinguish who is good and who is bad, I will not send coins for you anymore,' which even makes people think that Clanker has developed a 'self-awareness,' rambling, but also reminiscent of the feeling of a cybernetic servant.

Amid the current dilemma of 'innovation fatigue' in the Ethereum and EVM ecosystem, Clanker may be able to gradually carve out its own path with multiple factors such as 'AI+Meme coin+SocialFi+celebrity effect.' By then, the Base ecosystem and the Ethereum ecosystem are expected to reshape their own 'Meme coin frenzy glory.'
