Recently, the benefits of Base have been significant, and the editor of Rhythm organized the story of one of the major engines, Clanker, receiving recognition from the official account's reply in northeastern dialect, the original content is as follows:
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 flooding Base, with $VIRTUAL surging to over 1.8 B MC, currently falling back to 1.3 B;
The latter is an AI agent tool for posting and issuing coins on Farcaster, born from the grassroots, only 20 days old, with the leading meme $CLANKER rising over 140M, currently significantly dropping to 50M.
Both have given rise to countless myths of getting rich thousands of times, see: (0.1ETH turns into 840,000 USD, how can smart money get rich overnight through Base?)
For information about Virtual, you can look at @cutepandaweb3's tweets.
Next, let’s take a deeper dive into Clanker:
1. Clanker 101
By mentioning Clanker on Farcaster, clarifying the token name, ticker, and header image, you can get Clanker to add a starting market value of about 30,000 USD Uniswap pool for free (the threshold is that the Farcaster account Neynar score must be high enough, which means newcomers find it difficult to issue coins). The official website can view all the tokens that have been deployed.
Unlike PumpFun, which charges a 1% trading fee + 2 Sols on Raydium during the binding curve period, Clanker does not have a binding curve but instead charges a 1% fee from Uni v3 as revenue: 40% goes to the coin issuer, and 60% to the Clanker team—this revenue share ratio may change, details can be found in the official documentation.
2. Pumpfun vs Clanker
1. Mechanism:
Clanker = Cast to Pumpfun (the posting behavior on Farcaster is called cast)
2. Revenue:
PumpFun has generated approximately 360 million dollars in revenue over 10 months, while Clanker has generated approximately 7 million dollars in revenue in 20 days.
Note: The total MC of Clanker tokens is less than 200M, with a total trading volume of about 750M, and less than 100,000 people participating in trading.
3. Coin Issuance:
PumpFun has issued a total of 4 million coins, with a daily increase of 1%; Clanker has issued about 5,000 coins, 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 coin issued by Clanker, naturally becoming the leader, without official empowerment;
$LUM is another coin issued by a bot Aether mentioning Clanker;
$ANON is a coin that someone anonymously issued by mentioning Clanker on Anoncast.

3. ANON × Clanker
Anoncast × Clanker = Anonfun
Initially, there was only Anoncast, not Anonfun. Later, the team split the functions of Anoncast into two: one half still called Anoncast for anonymous posting, and the other half called Anonfun for anonymous coin issuance.
The integration of these two has degraded the real-name PVP 'Socialfi game' back to the anonymous PVP 'Gamefi game'—betting on Anonfun on Base and finding angles to bet on Pumpfun on SOL is essentially no different.
It is important to note: anonymity = no official, borrowing 6wu allows you to post on the anoncast Twitter gold-marked account, which can be said to have no barriers.
The specific rules can be found in the tweet I wrote.
Currently, the total MC of the coins issued by Anonfun is less than 3M, see Anonfun Dune for details.
4. Team
Clanker is run by an anonymous team called proxystudio, who are currently addressing the BOT rush issue.
Subsequently, they also promised to add the following features to Clanker: exploration features, presale features, advanced or custom fee distribution tools; the next step is to create a community, brand, operation, content, etc. (including Clanker and any ecological projects that need content—create interactions around Clanker and receive rewards from projects and creators)
5. Trading Tools
Everyone can choose mainstream BOTs: gmgn, pepeboost, etc., or choose mainstream wallets like OKX Wallet. Currently, the overall development of trading tools on Base is still not very complete, and the Pi Xiu often doesn't understand the detection, so everyone should be careful when trading.
There is also a wallet called Rainbow, which has a cooperative relationship with Clanker official, verifying relevant Clanker coins that reach a certain market value and trading volume automatically every 5 minutes, with a relatively good interface experience, but the security detection function is also incomplete.
