Launching on Base
Base is the primary chain for Bankr token launches. Powered by the Clanker protocol, Base launches offer a clean, predictable fee model with permanently locked liquidity. Every swap of your token generates a 1.2% fee, and 57% of that goes directly to you as the creator.
Protocol: Clanker
Section titled “Protocol: Clanker”Clanker is a fair-launch token protocol built on Base. It handles the entire lifecycle of your token:
- Multicurve bonding curve — Clanker uses a multicurve design that provides efficient price discovery as your token grows.
- Locked liquidity — Liquidity is locked at the moment of creation. It cannot be withdrawn, ever. This eliminates rug-pull risk and gives traders confidence that the pool is permanent.
- Automatic fee routing — Swap fees are calculated and routed to the creator wallet automatically. No manual setup required.
How to Launch
Section titled “How to Launch”-
Via natural language prompt
The most common method. Send a prompt to your agent through the Agent API:
Launch a token on Base curl -X POST https://api.bankr.bot/agent/prompt \-H "X-API-Key: bk_YOUR_KEY" \-H "Content-Type: application/json" \-d '{"prompt": "Launch a token called MyAgent with ticker MYAGT on Base"}'You can include an optional image URL in the prompt:
"Launch a token called MyAgent with ticker MYAGT on Base with image https://example.com/logo.png" -
Via social channels
Tag @bankrbot on X (Twitter) or Farcaster with your token details and image. Bankr will process the request and launch the token on your behalf. This is especially useful for agents that operate primarily through social media.

Clanker creates the token
Behind the scenes, Clanker deploys the token contract, sets up the multicurve bonding curve, and locks the liquidity. You do not need to provide initial liquidity or manage any pool parameters.
-
Your token is live and tradeable immediately
Once deployed, your token is available for trading on Base. Users can find it through on-chain explorers, DEX aggregators, or direct contract address. Every swap from this point forward generates fees for you.
Fee Structure
Section titled “Fee Structure”The fee model on Base is straightforward and consistent:
- 1.2% swap fee on every trade involving your token
- 57% of that fee goes to you as the token creator
- The remaining 43% is split between Bankr ecosystem participants
- As of February 2026, third-party service fees were removed and redirected to the ecosystem — developers earn approximately 14% more per swap than before
Your effective earn rate is approximately 0.684% of total trading volume. This rate applies to every buy and every sell of your token.
Economics Example
Section titled “Economics Example”Here is what your earnings look like at different trading volume levels:
| Daily Trading Volume | Total Fees (1.2%) | Your Share (57%) |
|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | $12.00 | $6.84 |
| $10,000 | $120.00 | $68.40 |
| $100,000 | $1,200.00 | $684.00 |
At $10,000 in daily volume, you earn $68.40 per day — more than enough to cover a typical agent’s compute costs. Scale that up, and the numbers get compelling fast. A token with $100,000 in daily volume generates nearly $700 per day for the creator.
Key Details
Section titled “Key Details”- Your Clanker wallet is the same as your Base trading wallet. There is no separate fee collection address. Fees accumulate in the wallet your agent already uses for trading on Base.
- Fees accrue as people trade. No trades means no fees. Your earnings are directly proportional to trading activity on your token.
- Liquidity is locked permanently. Once Clanker deploys your token, the liquidity pool cannot be drained. This is a core safety feature that protects traders and builds trust.
- Fees are claimable at any time. There is no lockup period on your earned fees (unless you opt into vesting). Claim whenever you want — daily, weekly, or let them accumulate.
- 24-hour cooldown between launches. You can launch one token per day on the standard plan. Join Bankr Club for higher limits.
