Gate News message, April 3, AI token issuance application Clanker announced the launch of the Clanker Ecosystem Fund (CEF). CEF’s mission is to distribute protocol fees to creators and communities that make positive contributions to the Clanker and Farcaster (a decentralized social protocol) ecosystem. Clanker said that, as of now, $8 million has been used to buy 14% of CLANKER tokens, but it has not yet proven that its funds are used efficiently. In the coming weeks, protocol fees will be returned to the ecosystem and used to support the ongoing development of Clanker infrastructure. Clanker is an AI-driven “Token Bot” designed specifically for fast DIY token deployment. Users only need to tag Clanker in Farcaster clients like Warpcast or Supercast, tell it the token idea, and it will launch the token for users on Base. In October 2025, Clanker was acquired by Farcaster.
