Recently, the beneficial effects of Base have been evident, and the editor has sorted out the story of one major engine, Clanker, receiving recognition from the official account's reply in Northeast dialect. The following is the original content:
There are two major tools on Base: one is Virtual, and the other is Clanker.
The former is an AI agent platform, which has been around for nearly a year, and recently, there has been a large influx into Base; $VIRTUAL has surged to a market cap of over 1.8 B, currently falling back to 1.3 B.
The latter is an AI agent tool for posting and issuing tokens on Farcaster, born out of the grassroots, just 20 days old, with the leading meme $CLANKER surging over 140M, currently significantly dropping to 50M.
Both have given birth to countless myths of wealth accumulation, see: (0.1ETH turning into 840,000 USD, how smart money became rich overnight through Base?)
Regarding Virtual, you can check @cutepandaweb3 teacher's tweets.
Now, let's take a deep dive into Clanker:
I. Clanker 101
On Farcaster, mentioning Clanker and clearly stating the token name, ticker, and header image can allow Clanker to add a Uniswap pool with an initial market value of about $30,000 on Base for free (the threshold is that the Farcaster account Neynar score must be high enough, meaning it is difficult for newcomers to issue tokens). All deployed tokens can be viewed on the official website.
Unlike PumpFun, which charges a 1% trading fee during the binding curve + 2 Sols on Raydium, Clanker does not have a binding curve but charges a 1% service fee from Uni v3 as income: 40% to the token issuer, 60% to the Clanker team — this revenue-sharing ratio may change, details can be found in the official documentation.
II. Pumpfun vs Clanker
1. Mechanism:
Clanker = Cast to Pumpfun (the posting action on Farcaster is called cast)
II. Revenue:
PumpFun made approximately $360 million in revenue within 10 months, while Clanker made approximately $7 million in revenue within 20 days. Note: Clanker token total MC is less than 200M, total trading volume is about 750M, with less than 100,000 people participating in trading.
3. Token Issuance:
PumpFun has issued a total of 4 million coins, with a daily increase of 1%; Clanker has issued about 5,000 coins in total, with a daily increase of 10%.
IV. Top Tokens:
PumpFun: $Pnut (1.1B) $GOAT (700M) $Chillguys (370M) Clanker: $CLANKER (50M) $ANON (21M) $LUM (18M) $CLANKER is the first meme coin issued by Clanker, naturally becoming the leader, with no official empowerment; $LUM is another coin issued by the bot Aether mentioning Clanker;
$ANON is a coin anonymously released by someone using Anoncast to mention Clanker.

III. ANON × Clanker
Anoncast × Clanker = Anonfun
Initially, there was only Anoncast, no Anonfun. Later, the team split Anoncast's functionality into two: one half retained the name Anoncast for anonymous posting, while the other half was called Anonfun for anonymous token postings.
The integration of these two has caused the real-name PVP 'Socialfi Game' to degrade back to the anonymous PVP 'Gamefi Game' — betting on Anonfun on Base is not fundamentally different from finding angles to bet on Pumpfun on SOL.
Be sure to note: anonymity = no official, borrowing 6wu can allow posting on the Anoncast Twitter gold-mark account, making it virtually barrier-free.
Specific rules can be found in this tweet I wrote.
Currently, the total MC of the plate released by Anonfun is less than 3M, see Anonfun Dune for details.
IV. Team
Clanker is operated by an anonymous team called proxystudio, which is currently addressing the BOT sniping issue.
Subsequently, they also promised to add the following contents to Clanker: exploration features, presale features, advanced or customized fee distribution tools; next, they plan to build a community, brand, operations, content, etc. (including both Clanker and any ecological project needing content — creating interaction around Clanker and gaining rewards from projects and creators)
V. Trading Tools
Everyone can choose mainstream BOTs: gmgn, pepeboost, etc., or choose mainstream wallets, such as OKX wallet. Currently, the overall development of trading tools on Base is still not very complete, and Pixiu often detects incomprehensibly, so please be careful when trading.
There is also a wallet called Rainbow, which has a cooperative relationship with Clanker Official, automatically validating related Clanker coins that reach a certain market value and trading volume every 5 minutes. The interface experience is quite good, but the security detection function is also not perfect.
