Seeing some people on the TL say “we don’t need more launchpads” as projects like @tryrevvy, @bootrfun and @clankdexer start popping off, so I wanted to share how I see it: Clanker has always been an open source, composable protocol that encourages builders to pick up the legos and build. That’s the energy @bankrbot was born from, along with many other interesting front ends and extensions over the years. These aren’t just launchpads for launchpads’ sake. They’re taking the gud tech Clanker is known for, and building something interesting on top. For @tryrevvy, that means programmatic strategies for putting trading fees to work. For @clankdexer, it’s customizable onchain holder rewards baskets. For @bootrfun, it’s bootstrapping AI agents, with trading fees funding their own inference. Different ideas, shared technical foundations. This is what an open protocol is for. These are all novel directions imo, and worthwhile experiments from earnest teams. They deserve room to build, and we can accomplish a lot more together than we can apart. So no, we don’t necessarily need a million more vanilla launchpads. But let a thousand novel clanker clients bloom.
