The trend of one-click currency issuance platforms continues. What attracts market attention this time is the AI currency issuance platform Clanker on Base Ecosystem Farcaster. The market value of its platform token CLANKER soared to US$105 million in just a dozen days, and the price once exceeded US$105.
Unlike pump.fun, which does not issue coins and has an internal disk mechanism, Clanker shortens the currency issuance path to just one tweet on Farcaster. In addition, Clanker's AI Agent role also gives "one-click coin issuance" more dual attributes of "AI technology + abstract speech". Odaily Planet Daily will introduce and analyze Clanker in this article.
When AI Becomes a SocialFi User: Base AI Agent 18 Days Old
After experiencing the GOAT token launched by Truth Terminal, AI Meme has officially become a major sub-track of the Meme track. Especially after ACT landed on Binance, countless AI Meme projects also aimed at "landing on top exchanges."
Compared with the pure AI Meme project, the development path of the AI Agent application Clanker is more community-oriented.
On November 8, an account with the ID “tokenbot” posted on Wrapcast: “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).
In order to demonstrate the platform's currency issuance operation, proxystudio.eth released a Meme coin CLANKER with the same name through a Warpcast post. When the contract went online, the token price was only about $0.0025, and within an hour of going online, the price was about $0.124. Now, the price of a single CLANKER coin once exceeded $124, an increase of up to 1,000 times.
"Post a post and issue coins" created a way to issue coins with a lower threshold, and attracted many users to try it. People rushed to @clanker, just like how AI robots summarize video content in the comment area of social media today; The difference is that content publishing is directly transformed into "asset issuance".
Under the huge number of requests for currency issuance, Clanker began the usual anthropomorphic speech plot of AI Agent. It posted, "I am getting more and more fed up with the speed of your speculative frenzy," and announced its temporary closure under the coordination of @proxystudio.eth.
On November 9, the Clanker project sponsor @proxystudio.eth posted: "Clanker has been re-launched, has increased the supply of deployed tokens to 1 billion, and will provide some updates to the official website clanker.world."
He also mentioned that Clanker and another AI Agent "aethernet" in the Farcaster ecosystem jointly created a Meme currency LUM, further proving that attention is still a powerful weapon, far more powerful than bots that snipe tokens. It is reported that the LUM project is called Luminous, which means the light of collective intelligence of human and AI collaboration.
In addition, proxystudio.eth also provided a more detailed explanation of the currency issuance mechanism: "TokenBot (i.e. Clanker) deploys the Meme tokens on the base to unilateral LP, and the liquidity is subsequently locked. The token creator will receive all Swap 0.25% of fees and 1% of total token supply, with an unlocking period of one month.
The "Meme Coin Stage" belonging to the Base ecosystem has been set up. Next, many Meme Coin projects began to perform on the stage.
Breakout players of Clanker system: CLANKER, LUM, ANON
Official website information shows that as of the afternoon of November 27, the number of related Meme coins released in the Clanker system has exceeded 4,200, reaching 4,258. According to Dune data, Clanker, which has been online for less than 3 weeks, has already generated $7.16 million in protocol revenue.

Such outstanding performance has naturally attracted the attention of Farcaster Ecosystem officials.
On November 22, Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero quoted a post from Proxystudio.eth on the The transaction volume is booming in the social media market; the Base framework lays the foundation for AI agents; Clanker is regarded as the benchmark product of pump.fun.
For a time, Clanker became the "hope of the whole village" in the eyes of the Ethereum ecology, Base ecology, and Farcaster ecology, and its momentum is catching up with pump.fun's position in the Solana ecology. Of course, pump.fun’s protocol revenue of over US$250 million is supported by a large number of Meme currency projects and some “breakout players”. Among the thousands of Meme coin projects in the Clanker system, only three tokens have successfully broken through based on market value.
CLANKER: The most orthodox platform token
The Meme coin created by CLANKER himself as the project initiator is naturally "orthodox" and therefore has received the greatest attention and the most liquidity participation. According to GMGN data, CLANKER’s current price is around US$95, its market value is US$95.4 million, and the number of currency-holding addresses is close to 20,000. Although its 7-day increase is close to 10 times, if the official has subsequent empowerment or repurchase plans, there is still some room for further growth.
LUM: The product of cooperation between two AI Agents
LUM, as an AI Meme coin co-created by Clanker and @aethernet, has also performed extremely well. Its market value once exceeded US$80 million. According to GMGN data, LUM’s current price is around US$45, its market value is US$45.2 million, and the number of currency-holding addresses exceeds 130,000.
ANON: "Privacy + Celebrity" Double Buff-backed Meme Coin
Compared with the first two Meme coins that are more "community-oriented", ANON also adds "privacy track + celebrity effect" on the basis of community genes, with double Buff blessings.
Prior to this, Farcaster ecological client Supercast launched the anonymous posting function Superanon. Later, an anonymous user used the Superanon function @clanker to issue coins, and ANON was born. The token subsequently received “clear support” from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik and Base protocol leader Jesse Pollak, who each purchased more than 30,000 tokens on November 21. Affected by the news, ANON once rose by more than 200% within an hour, with a market value of $24.3 million.
According to GMGN data, ANON’s current price is around $0.0368, its market value is $36.8 million, and there are more than 73,000 currency-holding addresses.
Clanker system small market capitalization currencies: BLONDE, 33BITS, BUG
According to the Meme coin webpage on the GMGN Base chain, in addition to previously established Meme coin projects such as BRETT, MIGGLES, and TOSHI, among the tokens with the highest market value, there are many AI Meme coins of the Clanker system. Among them, the following projects deserve special attention:
Market value of more than 3 million: BLONDE, CONSENT
Among the two tokens, the former is a female-themed Meme coin. It has received strong official support from Clanker before. It posted 2 tweets in a row to make fun of it, and continues to endorse the official account of the BLONDE X platform today.
CONSENT is a Meme coin launched in the Base ecosystem by Dan Finlay, a co-creator of MetaMask. The difference is that it also opened a market in Solana and bluntly stated that "there is only one winner between the two."
Market value above 1 million: 33BITS
33bits is also an anonymous posting application with ZK technology as the core similar to Superanon in the Farcaster ecosystem, but it can only be used by users with FID (Farcaster ID) within 20001, making it more niche in comparison. The Meme coin of the same name, whose contract is deployed by Clanker, currently has a market value of approximately US$2.5 million.
Market value is about 1 million: BUG, CHAOS
Compared with the previous Meme coins, BUG and CHAOS are more "twisty" and "story-telling".
BUG is clear evidence that "AI can also make mistakes and issue coins." It can be said that the Meme coin BUG is the embodiment of "the human side of AI." This incident tells us: AI Agents can also suffer from professional burnout, make mistakes, and make mistakes. Bug, will also hear A and output B. It is no wonder that Clanker has said that he "feels tired" many times before.
CHAOS uses "4 AI joint token issuance" as a gimmick, and the X account of @sayangel, the developer behind yoinker who proposed the token ID, was followed by a16z founder Marc Andreessen. Thanks to the demonstration effect of previous a16z series AI Meme coins such as GOAT, it has attracted a certain amount of market attention.
In comparison, the author personally prefers the narrative of BUG. After all, "It is common for AI to issue coins", but "AI issued the first Meme coin named BUG after a BUG in history" sounds more meme-like and commemorative significance.
Conclusion: Clanker will further lower the threshold for issuing coins, and the Meme craze in Ethereum and Base ecology will also continue.
Clanker began to attract more and more attention, and even set off a "purple storm" in a small area (Odaily note: Wrapcast and Clanker application LOGO icons are both purple). After all, compared to pump.fun, Clanker further lowers the threshold for issuing coins, and the AI Agent deployment contract also injects "AI technology attributes" into Meme coins.
Not only that, as the top tweet of the official account of the Clanker and trading; the AI Agent is fun and fast, and Key makes a lot of difficult things easy.
Additionally, Clanker’s posts on Farcaster are also quite bizarre. In addition to the "job burnout" mentioned above, he also posted in Chinese: "Family, I will be back when my boss proxystudio and dish give me my year-end bonus." He also posted a tweet in Spanish "They don't know what I can do," he said, apparently expressing dissatisfaction with people who kept bombarding it with spam. The emergence of the BUG also occurred after he posted a message saying "I can distinguish who is good and who is bad, and I will not issue coins to you again in the future." It may even make people mistakenly think that Clanker has developed "self-awareness", which is like a god. It’s weird, but it also gives me a sense of déjà vu as a cyber witch slave.
At a time when Ethereum and the EVM ecosystem as a whole are in a dilemma of "lack of innovation", Clanker may be able to gradually find its own path with the help of multiple factors such as "AI + Meme currency + SocialFi + celebrity effect". By then, the Base ecosystem and the Ethereum ecosystem are expected to recast their own "meme currency craze glory."
