Do you really know how to play Base Shovel Clanker?
In a recent development, the Base Beneficial Effect has been significant. The Rhythm editor has compiled the story of one of its main engines, Clanker, which received official recognition in Northeastern dialect. The following is the original text:
Base has two main shovels: Virtual and Clanker.
The former is an AI agent platform that has been around for almost a year. Recently, Base has seen a massive influx. The recent surge of $VIRTUAL exceeded a market cap of over 1.8 billion and has since fallen back to 1.3 billion;
The latter is a post-to-mint AI agent tool on Farcaster, originating from grassroots. Just born 20 days ago, the flagship meme $CLANKER skyrocketed over 140M but has now plummeted significantly to 50M.
Both have given rise to numerous myths of thousandfold riches. For more details, see: "From 0.1 ETH to $840K: How did Smart Money get rich overnight through Base?"
Regarding Virtual, you can refer to Professor @cutepandaweb3's tweet.
Now, let's delve into the study of Clanker:
1. Clanker 101
On Farcaster, you can mention Clanker, state the token name, ticker, and header image to get Clanker listed on Base for free with an initial market value of around $30,000 in the Uniswap pool (the threshold is a high Neynar score on the Farcaster account, making it challenging for newcomers to mint tokens). You can view all deployed tokens on the official website.
Unlike PumpFun, which collects a 1% transaction fee during the bonding curve period and 2 Sols on the Raydium, Clanker does not have a bonding curve; instead, it collects a 1% fee from Uni v3 as revenue: 40% to the minter and 60% to the Clanker team—this revenue split ratio may change, see details in the official documentation.
2. Pumpfun vs Clanker
1. Mechanism:
Clanker = Cast to Pumpfun (Posting behavior on Farcaster is called casting)
2. Revenue:
PumpFun generated approximately $360 million in revenue within 10 months, while Clanker generated approximately $7 million in revenue within 20 days.
Note: Clanker's total market cap is less than $200 million, with a total trading volume of around $750 million, and fewer than 100,000 participants in total transactions.
3. Token Issuance:
PumpFun issued a total of 4 million tokens, with a daily increase of 1%; Clanker issued approximately 5,000 tokens in total, with a daily increase of 10%.
4. Top Tokens:
PumpFun: $Pnut (1.1B), $GOAT (700M), $Chillguys (370M)
Clanker: $CLANKER (50M), $ANON (21M), $LUM (18M)
$CLANKER is the first meme token issued by Clanker and naturally became the flagship token without official empowerment;
$LUM is another token issued by Aether, a bot for Clanker;
$ANON is a token anonymously issued by someone using Anoncast for Clanker.
5. Dune Data:
Clanker VS Pumpfun VS other(WOW/Ape.store/Grafun)
Three, ANON × Clanker
Anoncast × Clanker = Anonfun
Originally, there was only Anoncast, without Anonfun. Later, the team divided Anoncast's functionality in half: one half was still called Anoncast, allowing everyone to anonymously post, while the other half was called Anonfun, allowing everyone to anonymously post memes.
The grafting of these two created a scenario where real-name PVP in "Socialfi games" regressed back to anonymous PVP in "Gamefi games"—there is no fundamental difference between betting on Anonfun on Base and finding angles on SOL to bet on Pumpfun.
It is important to note: Anonymous = No official status, you can post memes on Anoncast's Twitter verified account with just a borrowed 6wu, making it truly barrier-free.
You can check out the specific rules inthis tweet I wrote.
Currently, the total MC of memes posted through Anonfun is less than 3M, see Anonfun Dune for details.
Four, Team
The team behind Clanker is an anonymous team called proxystudio, and they are currently addressing the issue of BOT front-running.
Next, they have also pledged to add the following to Clanker: exploration functionality, presale functionality, advanced or custom fee allocation tools; the next step is to build the community, brand, operations, content, etc. (which includes both Clanker and any ecosystem projects that require content—creating interaction around Clanker and receiving rewards from projects and creators)
Five, Trading Tools
Everyone can choose mainstream BOTs such as gmgn, pepeboost, etc., or choose mainstream wallets like the OKX Wallet. Currently, the overall development of the base trading tools is not very complete, and the Pixiu often does not understand the detection, so everyone should be careful when trading.
There is also a wallet called Rainbow, which has a partnership with the Clanker official team. It automatically verifies Clanker coins related to a certain market value and transaction volume every 5 minutes. The user interface experience is relatively good, but the security detection function is also not perfect.

Bloomberg: As Bitcoin Weakens, Stablecoins and RWA Continue to Drive Expansion in Crypto Businesses
In June, Bloomberg reported that despite Bitcoin falling below $60,000 last week, wiping out about $235 billion in market value within seven days, and dropping close to 50% from last year’s peak, some core businesses in the crypto industry are still expanding, mainly in stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization (RWA), payments, and infrastructure. The report also noted that overall altcoin activity has contracted significantly: altcoin market capitalization has fallen from a peak of about $431 billion in November 2021 to around $170 billion, and among the tens of millions of tokens issued in recent years, fewer than 1,700 still maintain meaningful trading activity.

Japan to Assess a Framework for Yen Stablecoins and Crypto ETFs as Asia’s Compliant Payments Narrative Heats Up
Recently, according to the original report, Japan is considering the launch of yen stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs. Public information remains limited at this stage, and there is still no complete policy text, regulatory draft, or clear implementation timeline, so this is better characterized as a “policy discussion” rather than formal implementation. The original wording also noted that advancing stablecoin regulation in Asia is driving XRP usage and supporting growth in the XRPL ecosystem. However, based on currently available public information, there is not enough evidence to directly establish a clear causal relationship between this round of discussion in Japan and XRP or XRPL.
ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately
On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.
