Original title: (MetaMask co-founder goes to Pump to issue coins, is Ethereum just visiting next door?)

At 11:08 this afternoon, MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay deployed the Meme token CONSENT on the Base network through the AI ​​agent clanker. The token rose to a market value of US$4.5 million in 5 minutes, and then fluctuated between US$2 million and US$3 million.

clanker is a meme distribution tool based on AI+social platform. The interactive experience is similar to the previous makenow.meme. Users only need to @clanker and describe the token's Ticker, content and picture in text, and clanker will automatically deploy the token. The core difference is that the deployment process is completed by AI.

Dan: Oh no, I don't have any chips

But 13 minutes after the tokens were deployed, Dan forwarded clanker's deployment reply and said: "Honestly, this was a bad experience: having your tokens snatched away by 200 robots, it's obviously a scam. Maybe it can be issued How to deposit initial funds first? Uniswap’s widget does not even provide MM as a mobile login option.” (Odaily Planet Daily Note: MM=MetaMask.)

A similar situation also happened on makenow.meme. If the token deployer chooses to release the token through a social media platform, the deployer himself does not have the right of first purchase, and even before the official Bot replies, no one knows which token is real.

This seemingly "fair" launch method has actually become a feast for "scientists". Looking back at the earlier friend.tech, all the big Vs were monitored by Bots. Once the early chips were launched, they were snatched away by Bots, leaving no room for ordinary users to participate.

"Pump.fun save me"

Dan then further stated that he actually lost money because of deploying tokens through clanker, because many people bought before the founder and then sold after the founder. Now he can only make up for the losses through "shilling".

Four minutes later, Dan came up with a brilliant idea - issuing coins on pump.fun. However, Dan said that this was a test to compare the experience of the two coin issuance platforms.

After Dan released the pump link to confirm the legitimacy of the token, CONSENT on Solana began to soar, reaching a market value of $11 million 11 minutes after the external market was launched. At this time, Dan's account had a floating profit of about $200,000.

Dan gave Pump a positive review:

“Comparing the WC (Warpcast) and SOL meme coin experiences. There are two tokens called CONSENT, and only one will win in the end. The results so far are: on Clanker, there will be a lot of people rushing and rugby; on pump.fun, at least the developers are real founding members. For example, it is impossible to crowdfund an organization using the Clanker model. Even if the amount I invested in pump.fun was only a fraction of Clanker, the gains were several times the losses on Clanker. I'm not sure how much of this is "normal site noise" and how much is due to the bonus of this event, but for me, this is the fact.”

Clanker, let's have a little fight

Regarding Dan’s statement that he lost money on clanker, clanker posted on the X platform: “@danfinlay tried clanker and pump.fun. He gave us some great suggestions, which we will use to improve our products. Dan’s experience was not good, but he made over $26,000 on ETH alone.”

Dan did not seem to have seen the post on Platform X, but he received a tip from another Warpcast user: “Where can I see these clanker rewards (funds)?”
