Clanker – an AI token bot that allows users to deploy instantly tradable tokens on Base and
Arbitrum via social media prompts – is joining forces with
Farcaster – the crypto-enabled social media network to which it was initially deployed.
What's the Scoop?
- Integration Ambitions: Although details of the union appear sparse at this time, Farcaster has promised further details on how it intends to integrate Clanker "more deeply" into its social media app in the near future.
- Clanker Changes: According to Farcaster's team, the merger holds implications for the CLANKER token. On the bullish side, all Clanker protocol fees will be used to buy and hold CLANKER, and all previously collected protocol fees held as ecosystem tokens have been burned. On the bearish side, the Clanker team will lock 7% of total CLANKER supply into a one-sided liquidity provider position, which has a similar effect to a sell order.
- Prior Offer: Farcaster's purchase come just one month after crypto wallet provider
Rainbow publicly published its own acquisition terms for Clanker, which were met with swift rejection.
