In the crypto world, token launches are often chaotic, unfair, and dominated by MEV bots. Creators put in the effort, but most of the profits go to bots. Tokenbot (CLANKER) solves this problem at its root: an infrastructure that builds token markets with audited smart contracts. CLANKER deploys ERC-20 tokens on multiple chains, starting with Base, and gives creators rewards based on trading volume. Anyone can create tokens via a bot on Farcaster, the clanker.world interface, or the developer SDK. Plus, the new v4.0.0 version adds MEV modules, redirecting bot profits from the launch moment back to the creator.
In this article, we’ll cover everything from CLANKER’s operating principles to its update history, token deployment methods to security features. Ready to dive into an ecosystem where token creation is democratized?
What is Tokenbot (CLANKER)?
Tokenbot (CLANKER) is a creator-focused, MEV-protected, permissionless token launch infrastructure. ERC-20 tokens with 100 billion supply are born in Uniswap v4 pools; customizable with extensions like vault, dev buy, airdrop. Accessible to everyone—from Farcaster bot to web interface, SDK to direct contract interaction.
CLANKER makes token launches fair, transparent, and profitable.
Active on Base, Arbitrum, Unichain, and Monad Testnet. Create tokens on clanker.world, try it on Farcaster with @clanker, or build your own interface with the SDK. The future is in the creators’ hands.
What Can You Do with CLANKER?
Users can use Clanker in these ways:
- Tag the @clanker bot on Farcaster to create a token,
- Create tokens from the clanker.world web interface,
- Develop their own token creation experiences using the Clanker SDK,
- Interact directly via API or core contracts.
Clanker’s standout feature is rewarding token creators based on trading volume. The more the created token trades, the more rewards the creator earns.
How Does CLANKER Work?
Clanker uses Uniswap v4 infrastructure to automatically create a liquidity pool for every new token. These pools optimize early trading values through MEV modules.
When a token is created, trading doesn’t start immediately; there’s a short “auction period” first. During this, value from MEV bots is redirected to the token creator. Normal trading begins after about 22 seconds.
Token deployment happens in these steps:
- A new ERC-20 token is created with 100 billion supply.
- Optionally, up to 30% of the supply can be locked in a “creator vault.”
- The remaining tokens are added to the Uniswap pool as single-sided liquidity.
- Liquidity NFTs are permanently locked in the Clanker LP Locker.
For tokens created via Farcaster or Clanker.world:
- Deployments via the Farcaster bot give 80% of trading fees to the creator,
- Deployments via Clanker.world give the creator all trading fees.
